They are the silhouette you like! The back is super cute too. They come in a few solids.

Reason being, the frequent washing necessary for gym wear will wash out the dye. </p> <p>I didn’t reply earlier to your post because you said you wanted organic fabric? I wear gym skirts all the time, for all my workouts. Haven’t worn leggings in years and I’m very happy about it. Skorts suit my body shape so much better. Mine are from Skirts Sports. But they are not organic fabric. Some sort of techy poly fabric. But they work for me. I’ve had mine for years. Indestructible.</p> <p><a href="https://skirtsports.com.au/" rel="nofollow">https://skirtsports.com.au/</a></p> <p>I’ve also tried gym dresses, from here. But the fit didn’t work so well for me. I find a skirt is usually an easier fit. </p> <p><a href="https://nuu-muu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://nuu-muu.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265602 Wed, 01 Jun 2022 09:53:40 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, Jenn. I’m starting to think that if the yellow shorts work out, I might let that be the end of the acid yellow skirt search. I have a different workout top with black trim that’s been asking for a partner for a long time. There are plenty of black workout skirts out there. I could get one of them, give up the obsessive search for yellow *and* work out in a skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265580 Tue, 31 May 2022 22:31:50 +0000 Jenn 2265580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn’t try to dye if you want a specific color match. Not even starting from white. It’s just too hard to get it right. Even master dyers do some testing on fabric samples first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265546 Tue, 31 May 2022 16:54:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And one I cannot wear to work out in and really don’t need, even if it is organically-grown cotton. <a href="https://www.sportscheck.com/blutsgeschwister/blutsgeschwister-fullmoon-circle-a-linien-rock-damen-p50496729a04b26/color-strisce-colorate/" rel="nofollow">https://www.sportscheck.com/bl.....-colorate/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265543 Tue, 31 May 2022 16:47:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found one for Rachylou! </p> <p><a href="https://www.sportscheck.com/hagloefs/hagloefs-lim-barrier-skirt-outdoorrock-damen-p423524e6d3dafd/color-pumpkin-yellow/" rel="nofollow">https://www.sportscheck.com/ha.....in-yellow/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265484 Tue, 31 May 2022 11:06:13 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m starting to think of finding a white skirt with built-in shorts I like (I know they are often called skorts, but prefer to reserve that for the hybrid, shorts in the back with a flap just over the front) and trying to dye it. No clue which workout fabrics hold dye well.</p> <p>Here are some possibilities (hat tip to Jenn for the Athleta mention in her sustainable brands list) </p> <p><a href="https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=566723012&#038;pcid=999&#038;vid=1&#038;searchText=Skort+#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://athleta.gap.com/browse.....ge-content</a></p> <p><a href="https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=657675022&#038;pcid=999&#038;vid=1&#038;&#038;searchText=Skort%20#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://athleta.gap.com/browse.....ge-content</a></p> <p>There is also a yellow one—but I’m not sure it’s the right yellow. Wonder if that could be corrected, a la Merwoman’s sweater. Not my favorite option; I was thinking more sleek/fewer pleats. <a href="https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=657545062&#038;pcid=999&#038;vid=1&#038;&#038;searchText=Skort%20#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://athleta.gap.com/browse.....ge-content</a></p> <p>This one is my favorite shape but it’s made for girls, with less of a difference between waist &amp; hip—could alterations fix that, when the waist would have to be taken in 5”? And again, idk how well the fabric blend would hold the dye. <a href="https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=981516002&#038;pcid=999&#038;vid=1&#038;&#038;searchText=Skort%20#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://athleta.gap.com/browse.....ge-content</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265314 Mon, 30 May 2022 11:36:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a good way of looking at it. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265310 Mon, 30 May 2022 10:57:25 +0000 merwoman 2265310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s disappointing when we can’t find IRL something we’ve pictured in our mind. Those shorts look like a great placeholder while you put the search for the perfect skirt on the back burner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265307 Mon, 30 May 2022 08:32:25 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman, that is your color, and you honed right in on it. Gosh, those are so tempting! I keep going back to Lulu’s site. But since I turned down the first one because it’s nylon, it would be inconsistent of me to get one from elsewhere that’s the same material (even though the color is perfect—much better than what I posted at first). </p> <p>I really like the idea of a skirt. Haven’t been able to find one in that color and in “sustainably produced” fabric. I’m considering yielding and getting these shorties instead. Recycled polymid. <a href="https://mobile.yoox.com/de/13711555OD/item#cod10=13711555OD&#038;sizeId=-1" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.yoox.com/de/137.....;sizeId=-1</a> It gets 3 of the four variables right: a shorter option for warm weather workouts, the color, decent fabric. But it fails at being a skirt. Guess I’ll pass/keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265271 Sun, 29 May 2022 23:38:37 +0000 merwoman 2265271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you consider Lululemon Fash? A variety of offerings in that magical neon colour.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-gym-skirt#post-2265254 Sun, 29 May 2022 20:27:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, cute indeed—but with the yellow &amp; grey top?

I like the idea of a skirt, but not if it looks like a classic tennis or golf skirt. These have been showing up in my social media feed a lot; I’ve never heard of them otherwise. </p> <p><a href="https://thehalara.com/products/everyday-2-in-1-tennis-skirt-lucid?pmui=10.1.product.AggregateSPU.1.everyday-2-in-1-tennis-skirt-lucid&#038;pmuih=everyday-2-in-1-tennis-skirt-lucid&#038;variant=40966999965862" rel="nofollow">https://thehalara.com/products.....6999965862</a></p> <p>What do you think of the yellow skirt to go with the top? I think I’d rather have sour lemon or neon, but haven’t been able to find one. The brand isn’t on the “bad” lists I’ve seen, but I don’t see anything that says they’re super sustainable either. There aren’t many negative reviews, but the ones that are there have real concerns (ie not “I bought the wrong size”) </p> <p>Thanks for helping! </p>
