The weather's warming up across the country and that means we can ditch the heavy outerwear and start pulling out our shorts - and skorts - once again. I've always been more of shorts-wearer on the golf course, but I've been coveting a great skort and I'm jonesing to buy one this season. With built-in shorts, the skort provides the range of motion and coverage that golf demands yet still offers a fun, flirty/sporty silhouette. I've seen the scary skort - too long, too tent-like, too heavy or bulky and with some questionable patterns to say the least - but with some investigative work, I've discovered a few I think might make the cut:Iconic Metropolitan Polka-Dot Skort - $134.95
Made right here in the Bay area, Iconic golfwear is notable for its use of luxury technical performance fabrics. Primarily microfiber with a touch of lycra spandex, this silky jersey skirt manages moisture and odor and features ultra-lightweight shorts with skin-facing, non chafing seams, zippered front pockets and a rear scorecard pocket. In addition to this adorable dot pattern - my favorite - the Metropolitan Skort is also available in a pink and white, yarn-dyed houndstooth performance fabric and a sharp and 'suitable' black performance knit.Green Tee Women's Swish Plaid Skort - $52.24
I'm partial to plaid - and to this great swingy skort in brown plaid print with three side pleats and rivet details for a bit of edge. The cut is flattering - helped out by invisible front and back seam line pockets and a nylon/rayon/spandex blend.Golftini Pink and Grey Plaid Skort - $136
I own a pair of Ecco pink golf shoes very similar to these - and this Golftini pink plaid skirt with the pale pink piping pairs up perfectly. (The tongue-twisting alliteration wasn't intentional - but I think I'll keep it.) The skirt sits lower on the hips - about 1.5 inches below the natural waist - and has two super-deep side pockets (nice touch as my tees tend to fall out otherwise) and one back pocket.
