why'd you change the design?
I prefer the old Active Pursuits skort design. The new scrunchy elastic band on this new design is uncomfortable, unflattering, and dated. The previous Active Pursuits skort design had style, function, and comfort.I have the old one in 2 colors and want it in more.
Disappointed
I bought two black AP skorts last summer (2024) and absolutely LOVE THEM! I am super disappointed in this years version. It’s only in one color, and the material is awful. As someone with thick thighs I finally had a skort with the inside lining that didn’t ride up, and the new active pursuits skort liners ride up constantly super bummed and I hope the skorts I currently have last a long time. Please bring back last year Active Pursuits Skort in black!!!!
best skirt ever
Absolutely perfect for summer. I’m currently 8 months pregnant. I sized up to a large and it’s so comfortable. It comes with built in lightweight shorts, they do ride up just a tad if you have thicker thighs, but I don’t mind. They have a drawstring, which makes me feel so better about purchases that last me longer than just pregnancy. My ONLY complaint is that I wish they had more neutral colors like white, brown, grey, and black! I would buy them all!!!! My pre pregnancy weight is 150 and I’m now 175 for reference!
Good improvements but the shorts ride up
The new design improved the breathability of the skort from the last design. The waistband stays in place and a flattering silhouette. I would have give them five stars, but the shorts ride up and I'm constantly pulling them down.
the lightest thing to hike in, ever
These could not be more comfortable go hiking in temps that get over 80 degrees. I wore these for an entire weekend hiking event, and not only did they dry super quick, they were way lighter than anything else I own. These are great to sit in a cold creek in on a hot day, bc not only do you cool quickly with the mesh shorts, they dry so you can get going. The best!!!!
My Summer Staple Piece
This skort is exactly what I have been looking for. Some style mixed with a whole lot of practicality makes going to the park and chasing my toddler around a breeze. Super light weight, easy to pack and wash, and is a great option for covering up a mom-belly postpartum. I sized up to get the skort a little longer so I could wear it high-waisted. 10/10 recommend!
a must for summer!
I picked this up at the anniversary sale. I wasn’t quite sure if I’d like it or not. Now I’m kicking myself for not buying more in different colors. I love this skirt. It’s so light and comfortable. Perfect for summer activities. I would definitely buy more if other colors were available.
Spandex shorts are anything but
The spandex shorts underneath the skirt are so thin and loose, not what you want in an active skort. Don’t buy.
