A hybrid garment is a combination of two different types of clothing, such as a SKIRT and shorts. The term 'skort' is a portmanteau of the words 'SKIRT' and 'shorts' and is used to describe this type of garment. Skorts are usually designed with a SKIRT-like appearance on the outside, but with shorts underneath. They are popular among athletes and those who want to maintain a modest look while still being able to move freely.
