What's the difference between a skirt and a skort?

A skirt is a single piece of fabric that wraps around the waist and flows down, while a skort combines a skirt with shorts underneath for added comfort and coverage. Girls' black skorts or khaki skort uniforms are perfect for active students who need a little more freedom to move. Skirts, like pleated school skirts, provide a traditional look with a more fluid drape, while skorts offer a sporty and practical option. For more information on the differences read our blog The Ultimate Guide to School Uniform Skirts.

How do I measure for the correct school skirt length?

To measure for the right length, start from your child's waist and measure down to where you want the skirt to fall—typically just above the knee for a standard look. For a more precise fit, use our Sizing Guide.

Do school uniform skirts have knife pleats or box pleats?
