I think skort has a panel right across the front to look visually like a skirt, while culottes do not have that - just wide, loose short legs.

Oh, and I baked both bread and blueberry cake today. That's for those filling out the "horse gender card."

So which would be "in fashion" today?

And My "horse gender card" is filled. Now I'm wondering if you are related to a royal equine blood line.

Are you telling me that I'm making a royal ass of myself?

Well as far as I'm concerned skin is the ultimate fashion statement. Then again I'm in the minority here.

Neither skorts, nor culottes are fashionable in the UK today, nor are the long trousers with a short wrap round skirt attached that used to be popular about ten years ago. The nearest equivalent is a Goth fashion to wear a tightly fitting jersey skirt over jeans.

I don't know about "fashionable" but I suspect it's an age relative concept.

I don't see many Skorts on adults, although I do see a few, but my elder granddaughter and many of her classmates and friends wear skorts fairly often. I suspect there is an element of parental suprvision and practicality involved in fifth and sixth-graders wearing skorts instead of mini-skirts rather than "fashion," but at least here in the high desert, the skort is far from dead or passe for young girls.

What is fashionable in the UK is not necessarily fashionable in the US and vice versa.

Skorts are passé here. The proliferation of cheap clothing stores has meant a very fast change from what is fashionable to what is history. A trend used to appear in London, spread slowly to other parts of the UK and then vanish. The process used to take years. Now it takes months.

I collect Victorian cartes-de-visite. I can usually date them by the women's fashions. If it is a London CDV then I can use a fashion history book as a source for the date. If the CDV was taken by a provincial photographer I have to add 3 to 5 years to the date of the fashion.

TV news pictures showing events today in a provincial town show clothes similar to those being worn in the suburbs of London. Only the avant-garde in London are ahead of the provinces.

While you're all here, can anyone explain the difference between culottes and a skort?

About 30 years....
