Find the perfect skirt with the Skirt Box

February 16, 2017 by MCM Mama 40 Comments

Disclaimer: I am a Skirt Sports ambassador but I was not asked to write this post. Links below may be affiliate links.

Recently, Skirt Sports came up with a fun new idea: the Skirt Box. Basically you get their top five skirt products to try and then you get a discount based on the number of items you keep. Usually, you will get the Lioness, the Gym Girl Ultra, the Happy Girl, the Lotta Breeze capri, and the Tough Girl tights. After you order, Skirt Sports contacts you and figures out the best Skirt Box for you.

Deb from Confessions of a Mother Runner and I thought it would be fun to show you what those skirts look like in real life. Deb and I both wear a size small, but our figures and personal style are quite different. As you can see from the photos, she’s an inch or so taller than I am (and has amazing hair), but I have long legs for my height.

Meet the Skirt Box skirts!

1. Skirt Sports Lioness Skirt – this is one of Skirt Sports shorter skirts with 4″ shorties with grippers. Deb loves this skirt, but it’s a little short for my preference.
Skirt Box: Lioness
2. Skirt Sports Gym Girl Ultra – this is one of Skirt Sports’ top sellers. It’s a bit longer than the Lioness and has 5″ shorties. I love this skirt and wear it whenever it is hot out (which is often in Virginia.)

3. Skirt Sports Happy Girl – this is currently Skirt Sports’ longest skirt with 7″ shorties. I own a crazy number of these and wear them for running and casual wear. This was the first time Deborah had ever tried one on!

4. Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze Capri – I live in this capri for 6 months or more of the year. It’s my go to when the temps are between 35 and 65 (aka much of the fall, winter, and spring in Virginia.) The skirt part is similar in length to the GGU, but it has lightweight capris attached.

5. Skirt Sports Tough Girl – this skirt plus tights is a combination of a skirt like the one attached to the Lotta Breeze Capri and a pair of boot cut tights. It’s a cute “around town” skirt, but I’ve never actually run in it.

Bonus skirts:

Cascade Skirt – this is one of Skirt Sports’ newer skirts. The shorties are a little longer than the Gym Girl, but the skirt is shorter and slightly ruffled. It’s a cute skirt, but Deb would make the shorties shorter and I would add another ruffle to make the skirt longer. (See, we really do have different styles.)

Redemption Capri – this is a great capri. I think Deb has all the colors (I prefer the Lotta Breeze because Pockets!, but I’ve heard a rumor that soon the Redemption Capris will have pockets!)

As you can see, Skirt Sports has options for everyone! You should check out the new Skirt Box if you aren’t sure what style would work best for you. Check out Deb’s post on her thoughts about the skirts.

I’m linking up with  Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for Friday Five 2.0.

    LOVED this post and the video. I have never worn a skirt but definitely going to check it out. You say you wear an S ? Is it tight around the waist ? I like a low sitting waist. For Athleta gym pants (and capris in general) I usually buy M.

      I find that the waist sits below my belly button. I wear a small in Athleta capris, so a medium might work for you. Check their webpage for the size guide – I’ve heard that it’s really accurate.

      I’m still on the fence about the Cascade, but my Gym Girl collection is starting to approach my Happy Girl collection LOL.

      You are a perfect candidate for the box then! I love all of the skirts (even the ones I will never wear because I like a little more coverage.)

      The capris are my winter go to this year. I have 7 pairs and I can barely make it through the laundry cycle with enough (I hang dry.)

      You should do it! At most it will cost you $10 (but I’d bet you end up with at least one skirt LOL).

    That’s nice that you can try on everything. I have long legs and a bit of a bootie, so I like things a little longer. There are definitely some options that seem reasonable for my shape.

    I like that the one skirt does have the elastic around the under shorts, I do find that sometimes the short tend to ride up for me so that is definitely a bonus.

    Cute video! It is funny how the same size can look so different on each person 🙂 I think the box is a fun idea as long as it is easy to return the ones you did not want. Great skirt review!

      I know. The skirts always look shorter on me because my legs are long and I’ve got a booty LOL. And yes, returns are easy and free with the Skirt Box.

    I haven’t been able to embrace the running skirt, but the patterns are cute! I tried some on at Kohl’s last month, and despite the amazing clearance prices, I just couldn’t pull the trigger. I do like the capris though!

Coffee with a side of rain

Apparently I only write coffee posts when I’m in Michigan. I guess my body is hard wired to wake up early, but the college kid has no interest in an early wakeup call. I’d run, but it’s raining and I did not bring the right running clothes, so here I sit. I’m joining Deb and […]
