Like many of you, I grew up wearing skorts! They were essential when playing on the monkey bars as a kid. Not to mention it was cool to have shorts built right into my favorite skirts. I’d always loved them and was excited when they became popular for women recently, especially workout skorts! They are ideal for long walks, running, golfing, tennis, and more. I love that they add a little femininity to the classic running shorts and activewear in general. Dylan Dreyer is one of the many celebrities who wear workout skorts golfing, and since I love her style, I knew had to order one!
