21 Activewear Skirts (& Skorts!) That Prove There’s One for Every Style

Starting off strong with a style that any Challengers fan would be proud to sport. This classic pleated tennis skirt comes in the perfect shade of turf green, accented with a contrasting waistband that feels extra-retro thanks to the script logo detailing. The built-in shorts have a pocket for tennis balls, and a regular pocket.

If you're new to the skort game, start by giving POPFLEX a look. The brand has no fewer than EIGHT styles of signature skorts, ranging from this structured, belted number—which we think could transition easily to everyday wear—to super feminine, flowy designs that give serious Balletcore vibes. This style has both side pockets and back pockets for a more utilitarian feel. Bonus: POPFLEX sizing goes up to 3XL.

Looking for a little more flare? Sweaty Betty's classic Power Skort has a super-flattering flared silhouette that makes it an instant staple for your closet. The material is sweat-wicking, so it'll stand up to more strenuous workouts—and it's fitted with a zip pocket at the back, so you can keep your phone close at hand. Available in sizing up to 2XL.

If you're a tried-and-true lover of sweatpants, this might be the skirt for you. The less-is-more silhouette is finished with a drawstring waistband, borrowing its styling from your favorite sweats—and the super-soft material feels plush and comfy on Day 1. While it doesn't include built-in shorts, reviewers say the fit is accommodating enough to pair it with bike shorts for added coverage. Available in sizing up to 2XL.

Pleats, stripes, and a substantial, high-quality knit—what more could you want in a tennis skirt? This luxe pleated style is a worthwhile investment piece, knit from a blend of specialized viscose made in an eco-friendly, closed-loop system. We can imagine dressing this skirt up for summer nights out, then dressing it down with an oversized sweatshirt for active days on the court. While it doesn't include built-in shorts, the longer length offers more coverage than most tennis skirts.

Balletcore is back—but did it ever really go away? Left On Friday's take on the tennis skirt looks like it would be equally appropriate at the barre, thanks to its soft, flowy silhouette and tie closure. Underneath, it's all utility: high-rise shorts with a card pocket for your gym membership—or your pool pass. (Naturally, it pairs perfectly with Left On Friday's swimsuits as well.)

Can a skort be edgy? The Alba skort says yes. This mini-skirt silhouette exposes the "hidden" ribbed shorts, making for a subtly futuristic look that we love.

This is our platonic ideal of a tennis skirt: pleats, summery green hue, swingy silhouette. The length is *just* short enough to feel flirty, while keeping the vibe classic and composed. And yes, the inner shorts have pockets. If you've been looking for a timeless tennis skirt that will truly never go out of style, this is it.

On the other hand, if you're ready to balk the traditional look, this is for you. ON's Court Side Pleat Skirt winks at convention with the inclusion of peekaboo pleats, but then delivers a look that's all youthful energy. The colorful rainbow motif reminds us of airbrushed tee shirts—the true symbol of summer fun. The built-in "tights" include two pockets for your phone or a tennis ball.

For fans of spontaneous summer plans. ABYSSE's Skeeter mini skirt is truly ready for anything—it's made of UPF50+ material, giving you great protection from the sun, and it doubles as a swim skirt, so it's quick-drying and ready to take a dip whenever you are. The built-in briefs offer coverage whether you're swimming or serving. Oh, and the comfy, high-stretch fabric is made from recycled materials.

The perfect day-to-night skort DOES exist. BO+TEE's mini skort has a cool crossover waistband, giving this piece a "dip" effect at the waist that's sure to turn heads. We'd take these for a spin on the court, then out for a night of dancing.

Merino, for summer? Groundbreaking. Believe it or not, We Norwegians Team skirt is knit with 20% merino wool and 80% cotton—a winning combination that's breathable and naturally temperature-regulating. This classic shape features a wide waistband for a super-flattering fit that you'll return to season after season.

Jungmaven has long been a favorite of ours, thanks to their super-soft hemp fabrics and ethical manufacturing practices. Naturally, their Court Skort lives up to all the brand's promises—it's thoughtfully constructed with shorts underneath, and made from substantial 10 oz. jersey that brings together the heft and handfeel of hemp and cotton, with the sporty stretch of spandex. Available in sizing up to 2XL.

The sporty skirt your Sambas have been waiting for. adidas puts its signature 3-stripe motif on this effortless skirt, bringing a graphic pop to a throw-on-and-go style that you'll wear on repeat this summer.

It's all about the details. While Sierra Madre's collections are made with golf in mind, we'd be hard-pressed to think of anywhere we *wouldn't* wear this adorable skort. The button details add just the right amount of visual interest, and the sweat-wicking fabric in the built-in shorts just makes sense. Other features—like a built-in golf glove strap and zipper pockets—are the icing on the cake. Available in sizing up to 2XL.

RHONE is quickly becoming our go-to for activewear, and it's easy to see why. The Course to Court Sport Skort (try saying that three times fast...) is made with UPF50+ material, has odor-block technology for long days in the sun, and comes in no fewer than nine must-have colors...all of which coordinate across RHONE's other offerings for an instant capsule wardrobe experience. The skort comes in two lengths, sizing up to 2XL, and is fitted with plenty of pockets for all your essentials.

When you think Wilson, you probably think of their omnipresent tennis balls—but you might be surprised to know that their tennis gear is anything but commonplace. This skirt is a fan favorite for its comfy construction, quick-drying and odor-blocking material, and of course, the built-in high-rise shorts.

The skirt we'd wear every single day of summer. Alo's Grand Slam Tennis Skirt has the structure and crisp pleats we crave for all our summer looks, whether we're working out, grabbing brunch, or hitting up a rooftop bar at sunset. The extra-wide waistband is made with their beloved Airlift fabric for a smooth feel, and the built-in shorts offer some compression as well.

Another Beyond Yoga pick proves that the brand never misses. This crossover skirt features a fun slit at the leg, revealing the shorts underneath. The fabric is sweat-wicking and has four-way stretch for all-day comfort—and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention how on-trend this fiery red hue is.

The activewear that doesn't know it's activewear. L'Etoile Sport's floral skort is cute enough to wear on a date or even to the office, thanks to its unique performance floral lace and soft flare silhouette. The gusseted shorts underneath offer four-way stretch and UV protection, too.

For the ultimate sporty vibe, contrasting binding is a must. This eye-catching skort from Addison Bay has sharp box pleats accented by a graphic pop of white trim, lending a preppy-with-a-twist vibe that's totally irresistible. And did we mention Addison Bay's sizing goes up to 2XL? A total win-win.
