Long on Skorts

Skorts have often been regarded as the tuna Mornay of fashion: comfortable yet tasteless. But with the flippy new styles sported at Wimbledon last week by the physically gifted (Anna Kournikova, center), the athletically gifted (Serena Williams, left) and virtual unknowns (Asa Svensson) alike, the skirt-shorts combo may be back. "I think it's cute," says Simon Doonan, creative director of Barneys and a noted style sultan. "I could see Carrie Bradshaw wearing one in Sex and the City with a pair of Blahniks." Kournikova's Adidas skort is already in stores ($45). Be warned, though: the new styles are low-slung with a very short skirt covering slightly shorter shorts; if you have thigh-esteem problems, stick to capris.
