skort

Two garments combined

A skort is a garment that looks like a skirt from the front but has shorts built in underneath or is constructed as shorts with a front panel.

Popular in tennis, golf, and school uniforms, skorts offer the appearance of a skirt with the practicality and modesty of shorts: She wore a skort to the tennis match.
