Nike One Dri-FIT Women's Tennis Skort

A skirt with shorts sewn in, so: skort. Silky woven outside, ultra high at the waist, a gusset, one pocket that takes a phone. Then Stamford, and a Presbyterian church that is a fish in plan with twenty thousand chips of faceted glass. Whatever. Kinda incredible.

Stop one

the Palace Theatre on Atlantic Street, a 1927 vaudeville house brought back to life in 1983

Nike One Dri-FIT Women's Tennis Skort: So, yeah, it is just posing by the Palace Theatre, fine, I guess. It opened in 1927 as a vaudeville house and was brought back to life in 1983, which I only know because apparently my brain stores theater restoration trivia now, whatever.

02

Stop two

Mill River Park, twenty-three acres and cherry trees descended from the 120 given to the city in 1957

Nike One Dri-FIT Women's Tennis Skort: Here it is in Mill River Park, looking athletic near twenty-three acres of actual park, fine, I guess. The cherry trees are descended from the 120 trees given to Stamford in 1957, not that I was trying to sound like a plaque or anything.

03

Stop three

the First Presbyterian Church on Bedford Street, fish-shaped in plan with twenty thousand pieces of faceted glass

Nike One Dri-FIT Women's Tennis Skort: The skort is at the First Presbyterian Church on Bedford Street, which is fine, I guess, if you like buildings shaped like fish. Its plan is literally fish-shaped and the sanctuary has twenty thousand pieces of faceted glass, which I said way too confidently, so moving on.

Stop four

the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, a working farm with a 22-inch telescope in its observatory

Nike One Dri-FIT Women's Tennis Skort: It is at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, a working farm, because apparently even outfits need a field trip, fine, I guess. There is also an observatory with a 22-inch telescope, which is objectively cool, but do not make it weird.

Nike One Dri-FIT Women's Tennis Skort

Written for this world alone.

Fine. It's a skort. I mean it's a skirt with shorts sewn into it so it's a skort, that's literally what the word is, I don't know why everyone acts like it's a whole thing.

Anyway. The outer part is a woven polyester, and it's the silky-smooth kind rather than the crunchy kind, which — okay, that actually matters, because the crunchy ones make a noise when you walk and everyone can hear you. The shorts underneath are a polyester-spandex lining so they stretch, plus there's a gusset lining, which is the panel that stops the seam doing the thing.

It's ultra high-waisted. Not high-waisted. Ultra. It sits up properly so it doesn't slide down when you're moving, which is the entire reason anyone buys anything, they just don't say it out loud. Dri-FIT moves the sweat off you so the fabric doesn't stick. There's one drop-in pocket and it fits most phones. It's machine washable.

There's reflective graphics on it.

Whatever, it's a good skort, I don't know what else you want from me.

Stamford. Okay so this is going to sound like I care but the First Presbyterian Church on Bedford Street is shaped like a fish. In plan. From above, the actual floor plan of the building is a fish, and it's got twenty thousand pieces of faceted glass in it, and they didn't have to do any of that. Twenty thousand. Somebody counted.

Also the Palace Theatre on Atlantic Street was a 1927 vaudeville house that basically died and then got brought back in 1983, which is — fine, that's a good story, I'm not going to pretend it isn't.

You'll wear this everywhere from a hot court to just walking around, and while you're here — Mill River Park is twenty-three acres and the cherry trees there are descended from a hundred and twenty that got given to the city in 1957, so those are grandchildren trees basically, which I'm not going to make a thing about.

And the Stamford Museum and Nature Center is a working farm that also has a twenty-two-inch telescope in an observatory. A farm. With a telescope. I mean. Sure. That's cool, I guess. It's cool.

"Ultra high-waisted, not high-waisted. It stays up when you move, which is the entire reason anyone buys anything."
