Skorts continue to be hugely popular, sported by most players on all of the women's tours and a staple in club golfers' wardrobes. But which skort works for you?

We believe comfort and confidence are really the winning combo in this category. Not too short but flattering enough to make you feel athletic enough to saunter onto Centre Court. Wrong sport we hear you cry? But perhaps a skort should have multiple purposes. It could indeed be worn on the tennis court, or with a T-shirt on a day out with the kids.

A skort is a key piece when women are trying to stay active and not flash one’s knickers whilst tackling a toddler or lining up that putt, yet still feeling a splash of femininity has been added into the choice of outfit for the day.

There are so many different colors, designs and fabrics to choose from, and some also come in different lengths. These are all the things we’ve taken into account when testing and compiling our guide to the best skorts in golf. It's also worth checking out our best women's golf shirts guide to get that winning combo. Additionally why not check out our other buying guides on the best golf rain jackets or best golf vests.

Why you can trust Golf Monthly Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

How we test

We test golf apparel in the same way we test all golf equipment, by using products properly. In relation to tops this means putting them to the test out on the golf course to see if the design is well thought out, if the garment interferes with the swing in any way, and simply if the top is actually usable. We would also wear the tops off the golf course as well because versatility to use a garment anywhere is a great way to get value for money. The final point we wanted to mention here is no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our thorough testing team tells it how it is.

How to choose the best golf skort

When looking for the perfect skort it's important you tick the boxes that are right for you. Everyone is different and some like them longer some like a butt skimmer. There are so many on the market it's worth shopping about and going for a dark plain number, a bright sporty one and perhaps throwing a jazzy pattern in for days where you just need to smile.

What length are you after? Do you want a pencil fit, sporty fit or a more A-line skort? Does the skort match up with your shoes or any other items in your wardrobe? Not that this is essential as far as I'm concerned- retail therapy is always a happy therapy.

The amazing news is it isn't just scorching summer days the skort is limited to. I wear mine with a pair of warm leggings to brighten up a windy Autumn day on the course. Be inventive with your golf outfits and give it a go with perhaps a pair of Adidas Cold.RDY leggings underneath.
