I’d always believed that wearing a miniskirt required a certain level of confidence (that I didn’t have), but as it turns out, all it took to change this mindset was to find an option that had shorts built in. When I discovered that the skorts of my youth had transitioned from the business-in-the-front (skirt) and party-in-the-back (shorts) style to regular miniskirts with spandex lining, it’s safe to say I was thrilled.
After becoming a fan of Vuori earlier this year, I was excited to recently be given the opportunity to try on the brand’s Halo Retro Skirt to see what all the hype was about, and it did not disappoint. At just $68, this functional miniskirt with built-in shorts has everything you need to see the sights in a new city, go out to dinner, or run errands without worrying about exposing yourself.
Vuori Halo Retro Skirt
This simple miniskirt is made from a breathable knit fabric that hides sweat stains even on a 95-degree day sightseeing in Brooklyn, NY. The high-rise fit and elastic waistband are ultra-comfortable without digging in, and the mid-thigh hem is flattering without feeling too short. But the undeniable highlight of this piece for me are the built-in moisture-wicking shorts that kept me covered and comfortable from the subway to the city.
Because this skirt was designed as sportswear, it’s naturally roomier and stretchier than other miniskirts, but you can dress it up with a kitten heel or dress it down with sneakers, making it one of the most versatile pieces in my closet. Since I’ll be traveling almost every weekend in August, this will definitely be the first thing I put in my packing cubes.
While I may be a new fan of the skort, veteran Vuori customers also have a lot to say about this travel-friendly item, which has an impressive 4.5-star rating on the site. One customer raves about the skort’s versatility, saying it’s “perfect for parties and everyday wear, but also great for hiking,” while another agreed that after “trying out so many sports skorts over the past few years,” this one has quickly become their “definite favorite.”
The skirt is currently available in limited sizes in the perfect pale grey and simple black, but if you’re looking for a wider range of sizes, the Halo Performance Skirt is also a great option and is available in a beautiful blue too. Rest assured that it will absorb sweat and moisture.

With built-in shorts, a super soft, breathable exterior, and a super flattering fit, it’s safe to say this skirt is the ultimate summer skirt to take on every trip you take in the future. And with a price tag of just $68, there’s a good chance you’ll buy one in every color by the end of summer.
