The Workout Skirt

Tennis players know what's up - working out in a skirt is perfect!  They look adorable yet seriously sporty, they are really comfortable, wick moisture, and move with your every move.  If the shorts underneath offer support and compression then you have the perfect bottom for working out!

Some questions to consider when considering a skirt to workout in:

1.  How short of a skirt are you comfortable wearing?

This is important.  The shorts underneath will ideally be on the tighter side.  This helps you look slim and helps keep the skirt in place during your workout.  Since the shorts are tight they need to be long enough so they don't dig into your legs causing "sausage legs"!  The length of the skirt should be slightly longer than the shorts underneath

2.  Does low-rise work for you?

The rise of the shorts of the skirt will vary greatly among brands.  I often think the low-rise skirts are cute but then I do the jump test in the dressing room.  If they fall down or become very loose, they go back to the rack because I don't want a skirt that falls down when I'm running, Spinning, etc.  If you like low-rise, find the widest part of your hip and find a skirt that sits above that point.  This way it should fall passed your hips.   

3.  Do you favor a little swing in your skirt or are you a clean lines kind of girl?

This is a personal aesthetic choice and will probably be the initial factor in deciding which skirts make it to the dressing room with you.  Skirtsports.comhttp://skirtsports.com/ has many skirts to choose from.  ellasport's Workout Skirt is on the longer side and it sits approximately one inch below the natural waistline.  The skirt has a slight A-line shape and is slightly longer than the compression shorts that are (attached) underneath.  It's a great choice for running.
