How to choose a skirt, dress or jumpsuit for the occasion

In this category, you’ll find technical clothing for being active as well as comfortable summer pieces for days off. Outdoor skorts, lightweight outdoor skirts and sports dresses are made of stretchy polyester with DRYFOR technical fibre – they wick sweat and dry quickly. Summer dresses and jumpsuits are mainly made of cotton, modal or viscose, and winter skirts are insulated with FURTHERM synthetic fill.

For hiking and day trips

A skort is a skirt with built-in shorts: it looks like a skirt, but you move as freely as in shorts and don’t have to worry about anything showing. Outdoor skorts are made of a very light, stretchy and breathable fabric with DRYFOR fibre, so you hardly feel them on a hike and they dry quickly. For the water and easy day trips, lightweight outdoor skirts in a stretchy fabric work well too.

For running and sport

Sports dresses are made of stretchy polyester with 15% elastane, and DRYFOR technical fibre wicks sweat away quickly. They are suitable for running, day trips, inline skating and everyday wear in summer. Some models have a built-in sports bra, others an inner one-piece liner that includes a bra.

For the city, the water and holidays

Short summer dresses are mostly 100% cotton, some with added elastane – simple, pleasant on the skin and suitable for every day and the beach. Long dresses are made of modal or viscose: these fine fibres drape well, are airy and feel pleasantly cool in the heat. For days off, there are also skirts in cotton with elastane and a modal skort, both with an elastic waist.

Jumpsuits

A jumpsuit is a practical alternative to a dress – a single garment you can move freely in. Cotton playsuits (jumpsuits with shorts) are made of 100% cotton and suit hot days, work and days off. Modal jumpsuits drape softly and feel cool, with shorts or long legs – they work for the beach and the city.

For winter

Winter skirts are insulated with FURTHERM synthetic fill made of hollow polyester fibre, resist wind and mostly have an elastic waist. You wear them over leggings or trousers when you want to keep your hips and thighs warm too – for cross-country skiing, winter hikes and the city. They differ in details such as stretch panels, a side zip or a high waist in insulated softshell.

How to choose the material

Polyester with DRYFOR fibre – a light fabric that wicks sweat and dries quickly. It is the basis of the skorts, outdoor skirts and sports dresses.
Elastane – an addition that makes the fabric stretchy so that it doesn’t restrict your movement. Sports dresses contain 15%, some cotton dresses and skirts 5%.
Cotton – pleasant on the skin and absorbs moisture well, but during sport it soaks up sweat and dries slowly. It suits summer dresses and jumpsuits for every day.
Modal and viscose – cellulose fibres that are fine, smooth and fluid and feel pleasantly cool in summer. They are more delicate when wet, so wash them gently.
FURTHERM – synthetic insulation made of hollow polyester fibre; it keeps you warm even when damp, dries quickly and is easy to wash.

How to care for skirts, dresses and jumpsuits

Always follow the care label. Wash technical skorts and sports dresses at a low temperature without fabric softener and dry them laid out loosely. Wash modal or viscose dresses and jumpsuits on a gentle cycle, don’t crumple or wring them, and let them dry on a hanger. Wash cotton at the temperature stated on the label – at a higher temperature it may shrink.

Technologies and materials

DRYFOR®

A functional fiber that excellently absorbs body moisture and wicks away sweat. Thanks to the micro-grooves on its surface, moisture is efficiently carried to the outer side of the fabric where it evaporates quickly, keeping your skin dry and comfortable. This property allows the material to provide perfect body temperature regulation.

FURTHERM®

Breathable thermal imsulation. Keeps the body warm and comfortable. In bad weather conditions accumulates body heat and releasing it back in need, helping to maintain the required body temperature. It guarantees comfort and convenience in all activities.

POWERFLEECE

Lightweight, highly elastic material, microbrushed on the inside for increased thermal insulation and outstanding comfort. On shell side is very smooth and nice to touch, it offers excellent thermal insulation and protection against the windchills.

Frequently asked questions

What is a skort and when is it useful?

It’s a skirt with shorts sewn in underneath: from the outside it looks like a skirt, but it gives you the freedom of shorts when you move, and nothing shows. It suits hiking, day trips and summer sport – NORDBLANC outdoor skorts are made of light, stretchy and breathable polyester with DRYFOR technical fibre, so they dry quickly. For days off, there is also a skort in soft modal with an elastic waist.

Do women’s sports dresses have a built-in bra?

Some do. Certain NORDBLANC sports dresses have a built-in sports bra, while other models have an inner one-piece liner that includes a bra. The dresses are made of stretchy polyester with 15% elastane and DRYFOR technical fibre, which wicks sweat, so they suit running, day trips and inline skating. Whether a particular model has a bra is stated in the features and description on the product page.

What is a women’s winter skirt for and how do you wear it?

A winter skirt is an insulated skirt that you wear over leggings or trousers to keep your hips and thighs warm in the cold. NORDBLANC winter skirts are insulated with FURTHERM hollow polyester fibre, the outer fabric resists wind, and most models have an elastic waist. They are suitable for cross-country skiing, winter hikes and walks around town.

Cotton, modal or viscose – which fabric should I choose for a summer dress?

Cotton is pleasant on the skin, absorbent and easy to care for, which is why it is the main material of the short summer dresses and cotton jumpsuits. Modal and viscose are cellulose fibres that drape softly and feel pleasantly cool in the heat – you’ll find them in the long dresses and some jumpsuits. For sport in warm weather, choose sports dresses in polyester with DRYFOR technical fibre, which wick sweat and dry quickly.
