In English they call it skortcrasis between words skirt And shorts, therefore a perfect hybrid between two symbolic garments of summer fashion. The declinations of this trouser skirt, also called pant skirt, are multiple and belong to the most disparate aesthetics. The supermodel and founder of the brand Helsa Studio Elsa Hosk he prefers a sartorial taste, essential and clean, made of decisive cuts and neutral shades. The short or medium-long trouser skirt of his brand is inspired by the typical school uniforms of colleges and private schools, revisited thanks to reduced lengths and oversized pockets.

The miniskirt according to Emily Ratajkowski
One of the most common and beloved silhouettes of the culottes is the so-called version wrap: a wallet design that wraps around the figure, hiding the shorts component of the item. This is precisely the declination chosen by the American model and author EmRatawhich demonstrates how to raise the skort making it suitable for even more formal occasions.
Ratajkowski combines her short culottes (by Zara) with a black second skin bodysuit, a belt with golden buckle by Khaite and leather knee-high boots. The autumn version of the outfit involves adding a biker jacket in shades of brown and an It Bag like Dior Saddle Bag to elevate everything. For the summer, the boots can be replaced by strappy sandals, heeled flip-flops or canvas sneakers, depending on the event. On the other hand, the 90s sunglasses by Fendace should be copied. A demonstration of how the short trouser skirt can be used in different seasons and temperatures, thanks to the right combinations.
