I spent last Sunday at home with a bag of candy and the Oscars running in the back while I typed away musings about the best dressed attendees. Early on in the night, Florence Pugh walked the carpet and set a very high bar for those who followed her. One of the aspects of her ensemble honestly blew my mind. If you told me a few hours before that someone would walk the red carpet wearing a "skort," I simply wouldn't believe you.
The wardrobe staple had its moment in the 2010s, so I honestly didn't expect to see it come out to play on Oscars night, especially since I've often associated it with casual and low-key summer days.
However, while wearing Valentino Couture, Pugh instantly had me convinced that this long-forgotten wardrobe staple would be back with a vengeance this summer. After a brief sweep through my favorite retailers, I came to realize quickly that I wasn't the only person who feels that way.
So let's get you started on that summer wardrobe. Below, you can find 30 skorts that are editor approved.
I've never seen a more "fashion person" skort in my life. Do what you want with this information.
Okay, but I feel like a skort that comes in tweed-suit form is an absolute must for the working fashion person.
So elevated, so effortless, so chic.
I live for matching sets in the summer, so you know this one is right up my alley.
I've had my eye on this moment from Staud for a few weeks—should I go for it?
I can't think of a better item to dance the night away in. You'll never worry about showing too much.
I'm all about this cargo moment.
Truly, I'm obsessed.
Just imagine this with a white button-down shirt and an ice cream cone in hand this summer. Chef's kiss.

This is a runway look, so I feel like I should be gatekeeping it.
This skort is very, very cool.
As micro mini as it gets.
