I'm still torn on which length is best for me. I'm 5'4.5" with kinda short legs - typical cyclist muscular. The regulars hit just above my knee (hiding the muscular part), the petite an 1.5" shorter. The petite is a little more 'flirty' but at my age (approaching 50) I'm wondering if that's not appropriate. What say the wise women of TE?

My "boysenberry" skort just arrived!
It is everything I hoped it would be: a perfect fit and the perfect shade of rich deep purpley-wine.
Goes nicely with the navy tank top I ordered to wear with it (and with my other gray skort).
I don't think I'll order a third skort unless they go on some massive sale later. Two is enough to keep me happy for now!Last edited by KnottedYet; 05-03-2011 at 07:16 PM.

Wear it! (the short one).
I am 57 and I wear short skirts for casual wear. Not for work, but geez, all that cycling has to pay off. Show off those muscles.2015 Trek Silque SSL

Thanks for the rec - I got two based on the glowing reviews and I love them! I can see living in these this summer... I bought Dolphin and Asphalt, and I want an Eggplant and Lavender.

I've fallen in LOVE with skorts this year as well! However, my budget being the tight way that it is, I have to buy the cheapies. Target had one from Champion, and I'm really enjoying it. It's a bit short...well, okay, it's REALLY short!! haha! But, since cycling has given me kick-a** legs, I just show 'em off. The little shorts underneath are tight on my thighs as I, too, am gaining the cyclist's body of smaller waist and chunky thighs. But I am loving that, too!! haha!

I tried on that running skirt at Target too, and it's really really really short! My bike short tan lines were several inches down from the hem, leaving frighteningly white skin showing. That, and the smallness of the key pocket led me to not buy it.... But isn't it great to feel good in a short skirt!?!
