Turn the W's Skort into your go-to summer layer: pair the built-in shorts with the right top and shoes, then wash the Wish Woven fabric so it keeps its stretch and quick-dry feel.
Quick answer
Treat the W's Skort as a two-in-one piece: choose a light top and low-profile shoes for hiking or training, then wash it in cool water and air-dry it so the Wish Woven fabric keeps its stretch and quick-dry performance.
Why the built-in shorts change how you style it
The W's Skort combines a skirt with inner shorts made from Wish Woven, a stretchy, quick-drying fabric. That means you can move through a summer hike, a CrossFit session or a trail run without adding a separate liner short. Style around that function: pick tops that stay put when you reach overhead, and avoid bulky hems that bunch at the waistband.
Where a skort works well outdoors — and where it doesn't
A skort is a strong choice for warm-weather hiking, travel and gym sessions where you want coverage without extra layers. It is less suited to cold, wet or heavily brushy terrain, where you would want a full pant or a weatherproof shell. The catalog does not list a water-repellent finish, so plan a rain layer rather than relying on the skort alone.
Styling and care steps
- Start with the inner shorts: Put the skort on and check that the Wish Woven shorts sit comfortably without riding up. Common mistake: choosing a size that feels snug at the waist but restricts stride on the first climb. Test a few steps and a squat before you commit to the size.
- Build the top half for movement: Pair the skort with a light tee or tank that stays tucked or cropped so it does not bunch over the waistband. For cooler starts, add a thin hoodie or jacket you can remove once you warm up. Reach overhead in front of a mirror to check the hem stays put.
- Choose shoes and socks for the terrain: Low-profile trail shoes or trainers keep the outfit streamlined for hiking and gym days. Avoid thick, high socks that crowd the inner shorts if you plan long miles. Match sock height to the shorts leg to prevent rubbing.
- Wash after sweaty sessions: Turn the skort inside out, wash in cool water with a mild detergent, and skip fabric softener so the quick-dry fabric stays breathable. Common mistake: washing with heavy towels that trap grit in the weave. Wash separately from towels and abrasive items.
- Air-dry and store loosely: Hang or lay the skort flat to dry away from direct heat. Once dry, store it folded rather than compressed so the stretch fabric recovers between wears. Avoid tumble drying, which can shorten the life of stretch fibers.
