As most of you are aware, I have been a Skirt Sports Ambassador for a few years now. However, this post was completely my idea and I have not been compensated for it. All the skirt love is my own. Now that we got that out of the way, Skirt Sports has a fun new Skirt Box idea to give women a chance to try the 5 most popular styles on and keep what they like. My friend and fellow ambassador, Erika (MCMMamaRuns), and I have teamed up to create our own Skirt Box to share with you.
Erika and I have always joked how we have such different body types, but at the same time, wear the same size in our Skirt Sports skirts. We thought it would be fun to show how we both look in those 5 most popular styles and share why we love the ones we do. One of the underlying philosophies of Skirt Sports is that their clothes are designed to fit “real women” and real bodies. This is our attempt to show you how the same skirts look on 2 completely different body types.
My Own Skirt Box
The Lioness
My personal favorite skirt! With it’s short, flirty pleats and built in shorts, the lioness is fun and flattering. I love the 3 built in pockets and wide waistband. As soon as the temps go over 60 degrees, you will find me running around in my Lioness. (skirt length 12″ in front 13″ in back)
The Gym Girl Ultra
Slightly longer at 14″ with built in shorties of 5″ the Gym Girl Ultra is the most popular Skirt Sports style. It’s universally flattering, comes in tons of colors and the shorts stay right in place for chafe free running. I like this length skirt for cross training routines and spin classes.
The Happy Girl
Looking for a little bit of a longer skirt, the Happy Girl is 17″ with a built in 7″ shorties. With 3 pockets and a built in music port, the Happy Girl can take you from your workout to running errands in style.
The Lotta Breeze Capri
The best of both worlds The lotta Breeze Capri with a 13″ skirt over 17.5″ capri. With a wide waistband and 2 built in pockets.
The Tough Girl
Made for chillier runs, gym workouts or just for going out and about. This cute Tough Girl has a 13″ skirt on top of a flattering boot cut legging will take you wherever you need to go.
If we have not convinced you yet-Erika and I made a short video about why we love our favorite skirts. We would love for you to check it out. Please check out Erika’s post too to read her take on the skirts.
Which style skirt looks good to you? Would you want to check out the skirt box?
Linking up today with
Friday Five-Fairytales & Fitness and Running on happy
FitnFashionable Friday- Fitful Focus
OMG this was such a great post. LOVED it and LOVED the video. I have never worn a skirt I am always afraid the rubbing material will chafe. But going to check it out anyway ! Can you tell me how do things size ? What size do you get and is it pretty true to size ? For Athleta, my pants are an M. What would you suggest here ?
So both Erika and I are wearing a size small. I think Athleta sizes are a little bigger but if you like a little bit of a roomier fit I would go medium. The skirt box might be a great idea for you bc then you can try all the styles you want. Feel free to message me if you want to talk sizing or style happy to help
Cute skirts. I love the patterns and built in boxes.
Ah thanks fun to do!
The lioness is so cute! I love the flippy aspect of it–like being back in high school (especially for me, because that style had come back in a big way then) but without the angst or social stratification. LOL
Have a great week, Deborah! (and Ericka)
yes exactly! It would look super cute on you too. I was having trouble getting your site to load this morning will try later.
What a fun box! I’m pretty sure what would happen would be I’d love them all and find a reason to keep them all! lol! What a fun post!!!
Well…that may have happened to both of us
I’m not sure what I’m most excited about, the skirt box or watching the video and getting to hear your voices! 😃 I have both of the skirts you two are wearing in the video, same pattern too!
I am definitely a GGU fan, though I’m always ready to branch out. I’m even coming around to the Tough Girl or Lotta Breeze look!
I’m afraid if I got the skirt box I’d end up keeping ALL THE SKIRTS!!!
Well yes! These are actually all things we both already owned oops. I had never tried the lotta breeze until I tried hers and now I love it. Branching out is fun and all the new patterns are super cute.
What a great idea.
I mostly wear the GGU and Lotta Breeze. And Tough Girl in the winter.
We did have fun! I tried the tough girl for the first time and loved them
The video was so fun! I don’t wear running skirts but I love all the different prints and patterns. It makes it easy to pull together an awesome running outfit – head to toe!
Yes it does! I also really love all of their capri and tights as well
A skirt box is a great idea! I wish I still had my original Skirt Sports Skirts from 10+ years ago. They came in colors like Sangria and Root Beer. :p
How fun I don’t even remember those!
These all look great on you! I especially like the one with pleats. I don’t really wear skirts though, and have never worn one for working out!
Well we might have to change that! Let me know if you want to chat about styles happy to help
I love the Lioness! You two are so cute!
ha ha thanks I think I need some more video practice 🙂
I absolutely love this! I like that these skirts do very well on different body types and yes Real Women body types!
Your video is so fun and it’s nice to hear your voices! Makes it even more personable! I’d love to see more from you two! I get so nervous doing videos but you two rocked it!
Headed to check out this skirt box!
Thanks Ladies!
OMG I was so nervous with the video but Erika is so chill so it was fun. Let me know if you have questions about the box
What a fun idea! Love it! You look great in all of them! Cute video- fun to hear your voice! TGIF!
Thanks I am so not comfortable on the video
Very fun! I think the Gym Girl Ultra would be a good option for me – tall, long legs, curvy. It’s hard to find something that covers the booty!
That would be a perfect one for you! I hope you try it. I have a discount code I can share just message me if you’d like it
How cool to hear you guys!
I have often thought of doing this sort of post way before the skirt box came out, except I just never seem to get around to it. I never thought of doing it with Darlene, however — we definitely have different body types. Not sure I could convince her. And there’s another ambassador in our area (I’ve only met her once — maybe we need a SS lunch!).
Well I think you absolutely do!
This post & video was such a great idea 🙂 I love the skirts but haven’t tried the capri/skirt combo yet. Very cute!
They are really cute on and perfect for spring
You guys are adorable. I love the idea of a skirt but I’ve never been a skirt kind of girl so I’ll probably stick to pants/shorts. But if I do go skirt, y’all are the first I will come to for recommendations!
We are here if you have questions! Never say never
I love that you teamed up to do this! I think I got the Gym Girl? I only wore it once before it got too cold! The Happy Girl does look great for post-run errand-running.
I think the gym girl is the one you have yes. I bet you can wear it this weekend!
Though I’m not into the skirts for running, I do like the idea of creating the box. And what fun to compare how different skirts look on different people!
It is always fun to see how they look differently on everyone
You gals are SO adorable!! I think I like the length of the the Lioness, but prefer the straight cut of the Gym Girl Ultra…does such a style exist like that? (asking for a friend…) 😉
The gym girl is only sightly longer so I would say go for that if you like the straight style. All the new spring ones are coming out. You would look super cute in one
LOVE the gym girl ultra skirt and the pattern you chose! Super cute!
They are fun to wear thanks
A skirt box is such a great idea! Ive never tried a running skirts but I always say I will one day. Looks like they have so many great options!
so many cute options! Please let me know if you want any help picking out the right one for you
My favorite style is the gym girl!!!
It’s a classic and has the most patterns available too
So cute! The Skirt Box sounds like a fun idea, and I love your skirt collection 🙂
Thanks it’s easy to go overboard for sure!
I’m not much of a skirt person but I like the blue one in the middle top photo. Thank you for testing them out and I love this idea.
That’s one of my favorites too. If you ever want to try one out you know who to ask 🙂
The gym girl ultra is super cute, and you totally rocked it!!!
Thanks we had fun doing it
I had so much fun doing this. We need to get together more often.
We definitely do! I need to work on my video skills 🙂
Ive never worn a sport skirt before, but these are cute! Kinda reminds me of playing tennis! I wonder how they would affect chaffing, etc. while running?
I do not have any chafing at all with their skirts. I have with other brands. If you ever want some guidance on which style might work for you, let me know happy to help
Its clear that you and Erika had a ton of fun showcasing all of the styles. Life is always more fun with friends!
Yes always!
I haven’t tried this brand yet but would love to! Great video!!!
Thanks! I have gotten rid of all of my other skirts because they truly are the best. Hope you give them a try
The Lioness is super cute! This was a great idea for people to be able to see the different styles, You two look great
That’s my favorite one! Thanks for checking them out
These all are so adorable! Thanks for sharing your review!
Thanks so much for stopping by
maybe i should look into getting me one.
Well of course I agree! Let me know if I can help you with any style or fit questions
Obviously I adore this post! You ladies look fab! And of course now I see some prints that I don’t have that I need to add to my collection!
The collection keeps growing doesn’t it?!
They all look good to me! You ladies look fabulous! 🙂
Aww thanks it was fun to do
I’ve never worn a skirt but I think there so cute!! I loved this post because it answered some of the questions I had!
Oh great and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out and ask. Happy to direct you the perfect skirt
So many great skirts! I always feel like pleated skirts are the most fun so I’d have to go with the lioness.
That’s my fave too!
I think I prefer the solid blue one!
It’s one of my faves too! Would look super cute on you too
The lioness is definitely my favorite of all the skirts. I may even buy one!
Mine too! Of course I think you should get one. Let me know if you have any questions happy to help
