Product Insights
The Contemporaine Stretch Bengaline Skort uses 3% spandex to allow sizing down for a snugger fit while recovering shape through its spandex and nylon blend, and is priced at CAD 39.95—providing a fabric spec usually found at CAD 79—but requires cold washing and low heat drying to maintain stretch and color.
Verified claims
- Size guidance
- 3% spandex provides stretch for sizing down between sizes.
- Shape retention
- The ultra-stretch bengaline fabric is designed to hold its shape after multiple wears and washes due to the elastic recovery of the spandex and durability of the nylon, though at least one buyer reports the fabric enlarged and wrinkled after washing.
- Care
- Gentle care: cold wash, low heat or line dry to preserve stretch and color.
- Sizing flexibility
- If between sizes, the ultra-stretch bengaline's 3% spandex allows sizing down for a snugger fit, while staying true to size still fits well for a relaxed feel through the waist and hips.
- Value
- At CAD 39.95, this skort offers a fabric spec typically seen at CAD 79, making sustainable viscose more accessible.
- Comfort
- Buyers describe the bengaline fabric as very stretchy and comfortable, and one review calls the skort practical for both sport and city wear.
- Pockets
- One customer reports the skort is very stretchy but has no real pockets, so the slant pockets may not be practical for carrying small items.
- Value
- The ECOVERO viscose, nylon, and spandex bengaline fabric is a higher-tier material spec that in the broader market often appears at a higher price than this skort.

Comfortable skort for active days around town or light sports
Per an analysis of customer reviews, the comfortable stretch and flattering cut make this skort a versatile pick for active days around town or light sports. Reviews also flag two limitations for on-the-go wear: the pockets are decorative only, so you'll need a bag for keys or a phone, and the fabric tends to permanently stretch out with frequent machine washing.[1]
Active days around town in a skort that goes from sport to city
Reviewers describe this skort as a versatile pick for on-the-go days, with a flattering silhouette and stretchy fabric they found comfortable for all-day wear, whether for light sports or a casual city outfit. Note that the fabric wrinkles heavily, so per reviews it needs ironing after washing to look presentable — a drawback some reviewers flagged for travel or events without a steamer.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Stretch Bengaline Skort: Choose this if you want a comfortable, stretchy skort with a flattering silhouette for active days around town or light sports — reviewers praise how it transitions from sport to city wear. Be aware that the fabric reportedly stretches out permanently after frequent machine washing, so many reviewers suggest sizing down, and it wrinkles heavily enough to need ironing each wear. The pockets are decorative only, so plan to carry a bag rather than rely on storage for keys or a phone.[1] | Comfort-Waist Technical Fabric Skort: Choose this if you want an easy everyday skort: reviewers report its cut fits impeccably and its lightweight, ultra-stretch fabric (80% reprocessed nylon, 20% spandex) resists wrinkling and keeps its shape for errands and casual meet-ups. Choose it for versatility too — belt loops let one reviewer dress it up for polished evening occasions, and hidden zip side pockets plus a covered elastic comfort waistband add practical polish. Note that product photos show minor surface wrinkles and slight hip creasing, so the wrinkle resistance is not flawless.[2,3] | Piped Pockets Structured Skort: Choose this for a high-waisted, straight mini silhouette in a stretch structured fabric with a lightly satiny finish, offered in Honey/Camel, Royal/Sapphire Blue, and Red in listed sizes 0, 12, and 14. It suits shoppers who want tailored details like front piped welt pockets, a zip fly, belt loops, a silky stretch jersey short lining, and a 50% organic cotton blend shell measuring 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) in size 4. Note that the front pockets are slit-style welt openings with no visible pocket bags, so they may be more decorative than functional, and the black belt shown in styling images is not confirmed as included.[4,5,6] |

Fabric was coarse feeling. I purchased a similar item from Simons a few years ago which was much nicer.
