New Flanci skorts, dresses, crop tops and matching neck sleeve/ head buff

Written by Fiona

Anyone who follows me will know I am a big fan of Flanci skorts. I am fortunate to be sent lots of skorts in a wide variety of designs. I have even created a Flanci skort for my Highland Hill Runners club. Did you know that Flanci also sell crop tops and headwear to match your favourite skort, as well as dresses? I have been testing some of the new products.

Lots of new Flanci skort designs

You only have to go to the Flanci website and have a quick glance at the skorts section to see there are many, many different designs to choose from. Most of the designs are funky, fantastic, colourful and unique.

I have dozens of different skort designs and my latest favourites are Foxy Trails, Jelly Tots and a very bright Flanci Summer Challenge design. I also have a lovely skort with its very own “Flanci” design.

Reasons why I love the Flanci skort

  • So many fabulous eye-catching designs.
  • Comfort and fit is superb.
  • Wide waistband.
  • Legs are a good length and stay put (so many other skort brands have shorts that ride up).
  • High quality and durable fabric.
  • The shape, length and flare of the skirt is perfect (in my opinion).
  • Flattering design especially if you are not confident about how you look in lycra.
  • Two large side pockets for phone etc.
  • Zipped rear pocket.
  • Very reasonable price. Most are £42.99 and if you use the FIONA10 code you get a 10% discount.
  • Excellent customer service.

Flanci cropped tops and neck sleeve/buff

I am not normally very coordinated with what I wear. If I happen to put on a top that matches my skort, or socks the same colour as a head buff, it’s a coincidence, rather than a masterstroke.

So, I really like the idea of a crop top and neck scarf/ head buff to match my chosen skort. Some people might see it as a bit of overload but I like the fun styling.

Flanci cropped tops

The crop top – I am a small – is a really good fit and supportive enough for smaller chested women. The fabric feels smooth against the skin and the top is very easy to wear. I have not suffered any rubs or irritations, even when wearing the crop top on a hot day. T

The cropped tops cost £22.99. I like the crop top so much that I plan to buy a few more.

Flanci neck sleeve /head buff

The neck sleeve is a tube of soft fabric and can be bought in many different colours and designs. I wear it as a head buff. I prefer to wear a buff for running and different sports because it keeps my hair off my face and mops up brow sweat.

The Flanci buff, priced at £9.99, is not too tight, nor too loose. It is made with a lovely soft and stretchy fabric. It’s a great item to match with your favourite skort.

New Flanci dresses

A new product is the Flanci dress. Priced at £38.99, it is made in the a really nice silky fabric, similar to the skorts, but it doesn’t have inner shorts. I have the Totes Ace design, which I really like. I was sent a small and medium size to try and the small fits me well. I am usually a UK10.

The dresses are quite short on me. I have long legs and would prefer a bit of extra coverage. The skorts are similarly short as the dresses, but they have under-shorts so the short length doesn’t matter so much.

I am not likely to wear the dress for running – I like the inner shorts of a skort to reduce the chances of thigh chafing – but I might choose it on a warm holiday for walking, or over a swim costume when at the beach. It might also suit people who play tennis, or similar.

The designs I am offered as pre-order are:

  • Santorini
  • Phoenix
  • SUP-ER Day
  • Moove It
  • Dragonfly
  • Forget Me Not
  • Sea Urchin
  • Go Large
  • Totes Ace
  • Blue Peacock
