Skorts for kids - some suppliers (like Canterbury) say they are unisex - other suppliers (like Slazenger) say that they are exclusively for girls. Any opinions on this? I say they should be unisex.

Does it matter? I can't imagine many boys want to wear them, and if they do, why not?

If skirts are feminine then so are skorts a skirt / shorts combo.
Up there with collottes, no manly man is picking them up in Burtons.

They are skirts with a bit in the middle to make it easier for girls to be active without showing their underwear. Lets face it, skirts are a bit of a silly design. Therefore they are for the same people as skirts are. Yes males can and do wear skirts, but its not the conventional norm. Whether that matters to an individual boy is up to them, but they're certainly not marketed at boys. And why would a boy bother wearing an essentially compromised design fixed somewhat by the addition of shorts, when he could just wear some shorts? Unless he was making a point of course or pretending he was a girl.

Are there boys who want to wear skorts? Obviously they can. But that doesn’t make it a unisex item.

Well they are for girls aren't they? But nothing stopping boys wearing them if they want to.

I think a skort should be unisex if skirts are unisex, given they are basically the same thing.

there are no heterosexual boys wearing skorts.
