Everyone likes to have their cake and eat it too, right? Apply this thinking to this summer's mini-trend of drapey shorts and you get...the skort. Balanced out with a boysish button down or simple loose tank top, a flouncy culotte lets you get away with a barely-there hemline without the potential for indecent exposure. (In other words, feel free to walk over a subway grate or ride a bike.) Take a peep at this round up of our 15 favorite skorts, and you'll find that yes, you can have it both ways sometimes.-Julie Chen
