Despite sizing challenges and endless trips to the tailor, being petite has its perks. For one, a short hem is almost always guaranteed to fit and flatter my 5-foot-tall proportions, but I have a hard time trusting them on an especially active summer outing or when a gust of wind happens to blow through.
Fashion expert Dawn Del Russo and I agree that skorts are the only way to go, considering “you can move about the day without worrying” about overexposure, she said. Plus, built-in fabric shorts make them feel secretly as comfy and block pesky chafing on sweltering days while looking as dressed-up as skirts.
Below, shop Del Russo’s top pick from Quince, along with more effortless styles I’m adding to my travel, work, and weekend rotation.
