I was wondering about this also and it will be interesting to see if the trend catches on. I don't know if I'd wear one for running but I do for tennis and always have. I guess I could save money on workout gear if I didn't have to buy separate clothes for all my different activities!! I will always wear skirts for tennis. It's just a matter of comfort...not a fashion statement.

Doubtful I'd wear the running skirt but who knows? (Never thought I'd be running in the first place!)

ough, aye!

those skirts must be at least $60!

Sounds cute...but there's nothing 'cute' about running! lol...chaffing would become an issue, too...ewww

I am considering getting a running skirt, primarily as a joke. My female friends accuse me of not being feminine enough, to which I reply, 'yeah, well, I can kick your a$$.' It would be much more humorous to reply, 'yeah, well I ran this morning in a f*$%ing skirt, in your face!'

Umm... anyway... I would have to try one on first - I wouldn't just order one out of a catalog.

I'm not sure what to make of this new "fashion" to tell the truth. I have yet to see anyone is a running skirt in my area. It will interesting to see if any show up in the Boston Marathon - I admit I sometimes look to see what's being worn. I can't see where they would be that easy to run in. OTOH, the shorter running skirts might be easier to run in than the fashion trend of the last couple of years of "shorts" that are baggy and practically knee length but are so low on the hips I actually have seen shorts slip down far enogh that it was apparent the wear had not shaved the bikini line -ewww.

It's hard to tell from the picture exactly how short these skirts are or how easy they would be to run in compared to what's currently out there. There was a thread a while back where someone said they had difficulty getting something to run in that was really built for performance, not fashion. I remember the standard basic running short used to be a full split short with maybe a one inch inseam - no rot restriction to leg movement and not a whole lot to bunch up, and the elite racers wore bikini-style bottoms that came up just over the hips - no worries about them slipping down, and zero restriction on movement.


Irunslowly,
LOL! I love your idea of the advertising!
"Why not wear a skirt to run if the nice, thin, breathable panties are there? In fact, I can envision stylish underpants with ruffles (in toddler-wear they're called "rumba pants") Then, when we run in our little skirts and they flap up; everyone can see our cute little panties. OR.... we could sell that space for advertising!"
