11 Fashionable Skorts That Will Kill Your Chub Rub

Feel limited to shorts in the summer months? While it's possible that you haven't come across a fashionable skort — or any skort — since the 1990s, that’s not to say they don’t exist anymore (or that they don't come with their own merits). Personally, I’m completely past purchasing overpriced and overrated lotions and potions to warn off the burn between my thighs that comes from walking across town in the scorching summer heat. Despite our best intentions, mini-skirts with bare legs, for many of us, can only mean one thing: chub rub.

My advice is not to dismiss skorts as an extra but breezy layer in the height of the summer heat. These nifty style solutions aren’t just a new way to dress your bottom half: The beloved skort can protect you from the bane of many of our lives that is some dreaded chub rub.

For those who have previously sworn by denim capris, shapewear, or even trousers and jumpsuits in the summer months just to protect their thighs, fear no more. There is a safe way to wear pleather, scuba, denim, and everything in between, whether you’re hiking to work or bracing the rush-hour subway train. No matter your personal style, aversion to anything above the knee, or the thickness of your thighs, I guarantee there’s a skort in this list for you. Here are my 11 favorites.
