Do you like them?  Personally, I don't.  They all seem too short for me (5'6") and the double material--shorts plus skirt--is too much for the summer IMO.  I much prefer wide leg shorts aka culottes.  I have a couple of Slinky's Bermuda shorts with 11 inch inseams and I find them to be very comfortable and cool.

I was surprised myself that I like them. The shorts under the skirt make for clean lines and no shape-wear required. The skirts tend to be shorter since you have the shorts to remain covered and modest.

 

Of course the material matters - I like the skorts from Eddie Bauer for a very casual look.

I recently bought two of Susan Graver's liquid knit skorts "as is" and I really like them. I'm about 5'3" and they hit right at the top of my knee. I like the shorts underneath knowing that the skort isn't see through and they are very light weight. Easy dressing with a simple tee and sandals for church in the summer.

I am 5'6" and find the Susan Graver skorts perfect even in the hot Las Vegas Summer sun. The length is longer then Bermuda shorts for me. Also very slimming, yay!

I don't think they are comfortable at all.  Shorts under a skirt are too much for me,  I'd rather wear the shorts or the skirt by itself.  

 

I am 5'1" so they are not too short on me.  Mostly, they are too long and look frumpy.

I love them! I got Susan Graver's last TSV skort and it is by far my favorite, in the heat. They just feel great on especially in the 80 degree weather. No joke. I have some of her french terry ones that are good too, and some D&C knit ones that are great. But I hope SG brings in more of her last TSV in different colors/prints (maybe smaller print).

I think skorts are cute, but I do not wear them. I like to wear dresses and skirts below the knee or long pants.

I wouldn't wear them.  I wear shorts to the beach or to a picnic, but I wouldn't wear something that looks like a mini-skirt.  Last time I wore a short skirt, I was in my 20's.

I'd rather wear a loose-fitting, longer skirt with my Skimmies underneath.

I haven't worn them in decades. Found them to be uncomfortable.  Not being a twig, the inner part of the short's would always crawl up to my crotch.  With plain shorts that  situation can be quickly fixed. Not so easy with the extra fabric of the skirt.
