Make It Skort | Solstice

The color is so fun! This is my third Make It Skort. I wear this as everyday clothing vs what I wear at the gym or running.

I love the soft, double lined waistband in contrast to the more technical feel of the skort body. It's got 4 pockets total and I can't wait to see how much I can store in them as I'm out and about. The shorts inside to fit noticeably less tight than the same S size in the Earned It Shorts. I could potentially size down in this style and have a similar fit. The color is also so fun and cheerful! Definitely a blend between purple and pink. I have the matching top in the same print so I will most likely wear that outfit on rotation in the future. So glad I finally got the courage to try this skort out! I'm sure it will perform beautifully! 10/10 would recommend, especially for the high waisted lovers out there!

I’m 5’3” 145 lbs and the M fits comfortably, not too tight or too loose, The length of the skirt and where the waistband falls is just great, and I’ve happily used all FOUR pockets. Especially like the ones in the shorts for things I don’t want falling out or easily accessible like my phone or cash. I turn 69 this month & wore these last Sunday kayaking & swimming.

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect-for-me skort. This one almost hits all the marks!

Pros
-6 inch inseam shorts (chub rub is real)
-the inner thigh of the shorts seems to be reinforced by doubling up the fabric(thick thighs rejoice!!!) & this means the stitching isn’t just one line down the middle of the inner thigh (where my thighs have eaten through other skorts stitching)
-the waist band is comfy and didn’t roll up/down under a backpack
-cute colors!! (Even though I wasn’t able to order the color I initially wanted, I still like the one I ended up with)
-the skirt part seems to repel water really well

The negative
I took it out for a 6 mile hike today to test it. Unfortunately the shorts do ride up a bit for me. Not a lot, but enough for me to chafe at the bottom of the shorts where they’ve ridden up about an inch. I think if these were 7” inseam they’d be perfect 🥺

All that to say this skort will be a regular part of my rotation. I am curious how it will hold up on a long backpacking trip (my previous backpacking skort from a different company had me using my emergency sewing kit after only 50 trail miles on the PCT 🥲)

I ordered a size medium and am quite happy with the fit. I’m 5’7” 170lbs. Waist is 31.5” and hips are 42.5”. Thighs are 26” in diameter and the shorts fit comfortably.
