Product Insights
The Twik Side-Tie Skort pairs a lightweight 55% viscose/45% linen blend with a smooth-front hidden side zip and adjustable side ties that reshape the waist and side slit, while the built-in shorts—not the outer shell—dictate security during walking, stairs, and sitting. At 28 cm waist-to-hem, it runs 4 cm shorter than a 32 cm Lewkin Essential Mini Skort, and the fabric stays cooler and drier than polyester in dry heat but turns clammy in sustained humidity. Soft from first wear and draping fluidly, it creases less permanently than pure linen, though care requires cold delicate washing, no tumble drying, and low-heat ironing. The tradeoff is storage: the back welt pocket is trompe-l'oeil decorative stitching only, offering no functional pocket for a phone or keys. As Simons' first in-house brand since 1952, designed exclusively in Canada, this skort delivers breathable, tailored versatility at 9.99 CAD.
Verified claims
- Length
- 28 cm (11 in) waist-to-hem fit is 4 cm shorter than a 32 cm Lewkin Essential Mini Skort.
- Built-in shorts
- The built-in short's leg opening and inseam, not the outer shell, decide security during walking, stairs and sitting.
- Adjustable ties
- Tightening the side ties pulls in the waist and changes the side slit fit.
- Smooth front
- Hidden side zip creates a smooth front, avoiding the gathered look of elastic waists.
- Movement security
- Tie tension shapes the outer skirt; built-in shorts control coverage and security.
- Cooling performance
- Stays cooler and drier than polyester in dry heat, but turns clammy in sustained humidity.
- Material
- Lightweight 55% viscose/45% linen blend gives breathability and softness at a polyester price.
- Care
- Requires cold wash, delicate cycle, no tumble drying, low-heat ironing.
- Wrinkling
- Creases less sharply than pure linen, leaving soft folds rather than crisp lines.
- Trompe-l'oeil pocket
- The sewn decorative back welt gives a tailored look, not a working pocket.
- Fit
- The side zip and hidden short keep the 28 cm skort secure when walking or sitting.
- Fabric feel
- Linen-viscose blend feels soft from first wear and drapes fluidly.
- Brand heritage
- Twik designed this skort in Canada.
- Breathability
- This is a genuine warm-weather piece, not just a cover-up: the lightweight linen-viscose fabric feels cool on skin and keeps skin cooler and drier than polyester in dry heat.
