Activewear Skirts & Dresses for Women

Lorna Jane's activewear skirts and dresses for women start at a mini skirt and run all the way through to a maxi dress, so you can go as short or as covered as you like. Our dresses are made to go over your activewear or to wear on their own - these are for more than just wearing to and from the gym, they earn their spot in your wardrobe every single day. Cotton is our go to for comfy, and the whole range is packed with pleats, pockets and pretty much anything else you'd want from a casual dress or skirt.

Denim Skirts, Cotton Minis and Maxi Dresses

Stretch comes from the elastane in a blend, and the amount varies a fair bit here. The active living maxi dress runs 93% cotton and 7% elastane. Our ribbed dresses are at 4%, the cotton blend mini skirts at 3%. The pleated denim skirt has no elastane in it at all: it's 100% cotton. You'll find a light wash, a vintage wash and a two tone in our denim skirt range. The Relay Denim Pleat Skirt is the light one. It's perfect for the warmer months and falls just below the knee.

Can You Wear a Workout Dress as a Casual Dress?

Our active living workout dress is perfect for both work and play. Throw it on over gym wear for training, or as the centre piece for a trip to the shops. It has a relaxed fit, a higher neckline and a single side split through its maxi length.

Perfect for summer, this mini skirt offers a fresh twist on an old fave! The Lorna Jane Flash Dance Skirt is a must-have addition to your active wardrobe.

How to Style a Mini Skirt or Sports Dress

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Lorna Jane skirts and dresses have pockets?

Some Lorna Jane skirts have pockets and some don't. The Relay Denim Pleat Skirt has hand pockets, and the cotton blend mini skirts have four. Worth noting not every style has them, so check the features list on the product page before you buy.

What length are Lorna Jane skirts and dresses?

Lengths run from a mini through to a maxi. The Relay Denim Pleat Skirt sits just below the knee, the mini skirts sit above it, and the active living dress is a full maxi with a split up one side. Rise is a separate thing to length, and the cotton blend minis are cut mid to low.

How do you wash a cotton or denim skirt?

Cotton and denim wash the same way as the rest of your Lorna Jane activewear. Cold wash with like colours, pop it in a wash bag, and line dry in the shade instead of the tumble dryer. We tailor the washing instructions to suit individual products, so please refer to the label for more detail on how to care for your new garment.

Will the colours fade over time?

To prevent fading, a cold pre-wash helps hold the colour for as long as possible, and washing with like colours in a wash bag helps too. That goes for all Lorna Jane activewear and lifestyle clothes.
