Jennifer Lopez [1] is ushering in the spring season with a micro-mini trend that begs the question: is the skort back? She posed wearing a yellow and white striped nautical-themed skort from Zimmermann, resurfacing the controversial '90s trend.
Lopez shared a video [2] to her Instagram account to announce the launch of Delola [3], her new sparkling spritzer company inspired by her love of the Italian coast. The actress styled her Zimmermann skort alongside a white button-down shirt that was tied at her navel. She accessorized with gold statement jewelry including a wide curb link cuff bracelet and hoop earrings. In another shot, she stares into the camera in a bright yellow button-down shirt and triple bow drop earrings.
The skort is exactly what it sounds like: a skirt, most often short in length, with a pair of shorts underneath. Sometimes the shorts can be seen from the back with a skirted front, and sometimes they're hiding below. Either way, it allows for the wearer to go a little shorter in length with their skirt, knowing the shorts will provide coverage. Consider the addition of leg holes a wardrobe-malfunction buster. Though it originally surfaced in the 1960s, the skort came back with a vengeance in the '90s, so it's certainly due for a resurgence. And Lopez is just the stylish celebrity to bring it back.
Lopez is having quite the spring season, not only lending her face to campaigns for the likes of Coach [4], Intimissimi [5], and her own JLo Beauty [6]; but also launching a partnership with Virgin Voyages [7], announcing her forthcoming new album [8], and just wrapping promotion of her latest movie, "Shotgun Wedding [9]."
Ahead, check out Jennifer Lopez [10]'s take on the polarizing look — and get ready to celebrate a summer full of skorts.
