Skorts are divisive. Even in the midst of the Y2K revival, a skirt-short hybrid remains something of a head-scratcher, eliciting questions like, “But, why?” and “To what end?” On Tuesday, Taylor Swift set out to quell any lingering apprehension with a contemporary take on the throwback style.
Swift s denim skort featured an asymmetrical apron-like drape secured with a tie at the waist. The resulting silhouette was surprisingly polished, a blend between beach boardwalk and bucolic that Swift styled up with signatures like chunky Mary Jane loafers by G.H.Bass and an eyelet-bedecked Dôen peasant blouse. A retro raffia bag and claw-clipped updo finished the look.
Swift has worn two skorts this week: on Monday she wore a pleated and preppy Free People style, with an untucked button-down blouse, oxfords, and a black baseball cap. In short: Yes, the skort is officially back in rotation—so long as its provided support through thought-through elements and accessories.
