Editing Skort (section)

==Women's sports==
The first noted skort-like clothing to be worn as tennis attire was done so by the Spanish player, [[Lilí Álvarez]], who wore a pair of culottes which had been shaped to resemble a skirt during her Wimbledon match in 1931. Skorts have become common in sports such as [[field hockey]], [[tennis]], [[golf]], [[ten-pin bowling]] and [[camogie]]. 

Skorts have also gained popularity in casual and athletic wear due to brands such as [[Lululemon Athletica|Lululemon]]. High-waisted skorts, skorts with ruffles or asymmetrical hems, and skorts made with patterned or textured fabrics have all become popular options.<ref name="auto"/>

===Camogie===
In [[camogie]], the requirement for skirt-like clothing is viewed by some as archaic.  A request for shorts to be permitted was rejected by governing body the [[Camogie Association]] in April 2024.<ref>{{cite news |title=Motion on skorts fails to pass at camogie congress |url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/camogie/2024/0406/1442074-motion-on-skorts-fails-to-pass-at-camogie-congress/ |access-date=4 May 2025 |publisher=RTÉ Sport |date=6 April 2024}}</ref> Skorts are criticised by a majority of players as being uncomfortable, and giving rise to concerns about exposure in media content. All players on both sides in a 2025 [[Leinster Senior Camogie Championship]] game protested by wearing shorts, but all were required to change to skorts, otherwise the game would be abandoned.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hickey |first1=Emma |title=Camogie players forced to change to skorts after protest-wearing shorts at Kilkenny-Dublin match |url=https://www.thejournal.ie/camogie-players-forced-to-change-to-skorts-after-wearing-shorts-dublin-kilkenny-6695248-May2025/ |access-date=4 May 2025 |publisher=TheJournal |date=3 May 2025}}</ref>
