Unless you only want to wear linen pants and rigid denim shorts on vacation, your travel capsule wardrobe needs some comfy skorts. They’re not just for sports anymore; the style combines the coziness of shorts (typically biker style) with the flowiness of a skirt, making skorts versatile enough to wear off the plane and straight to your activities. They’re also lightweight enough that you can throw a few in a carry-on bag, without adding weight and bulkiness, unlike traditional denim bottoms.

Amazon’s fashion store is packed with an assortment of skorts, including cargo styles for hiking, tennis skirts with built-in shorts, and trendy pleated designs. Below, you can find the top 12 versatile skorts from brands like Skechers, The Gym People, Baleaf, and more, all for under $50.

Best Skorts Overall

Skechers Go Walk Pickleball Skirt

Built with slight compression in the waist, this skort is “comfortable and versatile.” Whether you’re playing a game of pickleball or on a walking tour, you can appreciate its four-way stretch, moisture-wicking fabric, and UPF 40 feature. 

The Gym People High-waist Asymmetric Skort

Unlike traditional skorts, this style has an asymmetrical skirt that’s longer in the back and shorter in the front. Underneath is a pair of fitted shorts with built-in pockets, so you can keep your money and ID tucked away safely when you wear it while traveling. And, the skort is dressy enough to pair with a nice top for dinner. 

Santiny Pleated Tennis Skirt

More than 2,000 of this tennis skirt-shorts combo have been purchased this month, with Amazon shoppers calling out the “extremely comfortable” feel. It has three pockets, including a back zippered pocket to store your ID or hotel keycard. One traveler originally purchased the skort to wear to play pickleball, but ended up wearing it to hike in Kauai, Hawaii.

Ekouaer Performance Skort

If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors, you’ll love that this skort has UV-protecting fabric that’s also stretchy and breathable. Amazon reviewers find you can wear it for a variety of activities, with one shopper wearing it at Universal Studios all day with no wrinkling, and another reviewer sporting it comfortably while playing pickleball.

Viodia Knee-length Skort

If you don’t want a mini style, opt for this knee-length skort that’ll provide extra coverage. It has several pockets for storing your must-haves, and the fabric has UPF 50 to block UV rays. One active shopper said they loved how the fabric “glides across my body when I move.” 

Iuga Ruffle Skort

Hot weather is no match for this flowy skort, and one shopper can attest to that after wearing it in 90-degree weather at a Disney theme park. Another reviewer liked the high waist that stays in place during workouts.

Mivei Hiking Cargo Skort

If you’re only carrying the essentials, you can ditch your purse and throw on this cargo skort. It has two zippered pockets and two Velcro pockets for storing small snacks, keys, cash, and more. One traveler wore the skort while hiking in Switzerland and said it was comfortable and didn’t ride up.

Baleaf Pleated Tennis Skirt

Baleaf’s tennis skirt is the epitome of business in the front, party in the back. It has a smooth, A-line front while the back has mini pleats that’ll elevate your look. It’s one reviewer’s favorite skort to wear while playing tennis, thanks to its fit, length, and adjustable waist.

G Gradual Golf Skirt

Besides being trendy, this golf skort is packed with pockets to store small essentials. There are two exterior pockets on the skirt for your phone and wallet, and two secret pockets built into the shorts underneath, which is perfect for storing your ID, credit cards, and keys (especially when you travel). 

Frtroin Wrap Linen Skort

Rather than deal with the rigidity of denim shorts, grab this flowy skort that comes with a shirred, elastic waistband and a relaxed fit. The ruffles will instantly dress up even your most casual T-shirt, so you can feel comfortable and stylish while taking vacation photos.

Willit Outdoor Skort

Whether you’re sightseeing or playing a round of golf, you can do it in comfort and style with this skort. It comes in nine neutral colors you can pair with most tops in your wardrobe, and it’s made from a material that’s moisture-wicking and UV-blocking. One golfer likes that the fabric has some stretch, making it easy to bend down and pick up a golf ball.

Aoudery Ruffle Tiered Skort

This skort brings a more romantic vibe to your look with its ruffled waistline, crocheted hem, and tiered design. One Amazon shopper wore it on a trip to the Bahamas and said after two days in their suitcase, the skort was still wrinkle-free.
