Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between the Mesh All Day Active Skirt and the Recycled All Day Active Skirt?
A:Great question! Both skirts are designed for movement, modesty, and versatility—but the fabrics are totally different.
The Mesh All Day Active Skirt features a lightweight, breathable mesh overlay. It’s perfect for high-intensity workouts, warm-weather hikes, or simply when you want that airy, flowy feel. Think of it like the ultimate mix of sporty and breezy.
The Recycled All Day Active Skirt, on the other hand, is made with a sustainable, structured fabric using post-consumer recycled materials (like water bottles!). It's soft, durable, and slightly more fitted than the mesh style. It’s ideal if you’re looking for something a bit more streamlined with a smooth finish. Both are moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and made for movement—you just get to pick your vibe.
Q: Are there shorts attached?
A: No—and that’s on purpose! Our skirts are designed as stand-alone pieces so you can style them however you like. Whether you want to wear bike shorts, leggings, swim bottoms, or nothing underneath (hello, beach cover-up!), you’re free to customize based on your activity and comfort level. This gives our customers more flexibility to mix and match pieces based on their lifestyle.
Q: Why don’t you make them with attached shorts or leggings?
A: We get asked this a lot! The short answer: freedom and function. Women use our skirts for everything—yoga, running, hiking, swimming, even everyday wear. Everyone has different layering preferences, so rather than lock you into one fit or fabric, we let you choose. Some people want compression, others want lightweight or moisture-wicking shorts, and some already have go-to layers they love. This approach also makes the skirts more size-inclusive, travel-friendly, and adaptable to every season.
Q: Is the Mesh All Day Active Skirt see-through?
A: No! While the Mesh All Day Active Skirt is made from a breathable mesh fabric, it is not see-through. The mesh features tiny performance-knit openings that allow for airflow to help keep you cool, but they're small enough to provide coverage and maintain a polished look. It gives you the lightweight, airy feel of mesh without being transparent, so you can feel comfortable and confident whether you're working out, hiking, traveling, or running errands.
Q: Do your skirts and dresses have pockets?
A: Many of our styles do! Product descriptions will let you know if a particular skirt includes pockets. We know how important they are for carrying your phone, keys, cards, or tennis ball while you're on the go.
Q: How can I wash it?
A: Super simple! Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then lay dry. No bleach, no dryer, and definitely no dry cleaning. We recommend turning the garments inside out to protect the fabric and extend the life of your piece. These materials are high-performance, so they’re built to last with the right care. For the planet and your closet—wash less, wear more.
Q: Can I wear your skirts for running and working out?
A: Absolutely! Our modest workout skirts were designed to move with you. They're perfect for walking, running, hiking, tennis, pickleball, golf, yoga, strength training, and everyday life. The lightweight, stretchy fabrics won't hold you back, and you can choose the shorts or leggings that work best for your activity.
Q: Can I swim in it?
A: Yes, yes, yes! Many of our skirts double as amazing swim skirts. The fabric is moisture-wicking and quick-drying, so it works great for dips in the ocean or pool. Just rinse it out after swimming—especially if you’ve been in chlorine or salt water—to preserve the quality and stretch. Because our skirts aren’t lined with built-in shorts, they’re also perfect to throw on over a swimsuit for extra coverage before and after your swim.
Q: Is this good for sun protection?
A: Absolutely. Many of our fabrics offer UPF protection, which means they help block harmful UV rays from reaching your skin. While not a replacement for sunscreen, our skirts and tops provide a physical barrier that’s perfect for long hikes, beach days, and outdoor workouts. Plus, the extra coverage on your legs and arms keeps you cool while minimizing sun exposure.
Q: Will the fabric make me hot?
A: Not at all. Our performance fabrics are lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying. They're designed to keep you comfortable whether you're hiking in the summer, traveling, or working out.
Q: Does the fabric wrinkle?
A: Very little! Our performance fabrics resist wrinkles, making them perfect for travel. Simply fold them into your suitcase or gym bag and they're ready to wear.
Q: Can I wear Transcendent Active every day, not just to work out?
A: Definitely! Our customers wear their Transcendent pieces everywhere—from school drop-off and errands to travel, hikes, vacations, and brunch with friends. That's exactly how we designed them: versatile enough to take you from your workout to the rest of your day.
Q:Can I travel in Transcendent?
A: Please do! In fact, Transcendent will become your favorite travel essentials. The collection is lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, easy to pack, quick-drying, and versatile enough to wear sightseeing, hiking, at the airport, or out to dinner with a quick change of accessories.
Q: What size should I get?
A: We want you to feel amazing in your clothes, so sizing matters. Head over to our Size Chart to check your measurements. If you’re between sizes, we usually recommend sizing up—especially if you like a bit more room for movement. Our pieces are designed to fit close to the body but never restrict your flow. Still not sure? Send us a message and we’ll help you find your perfect fit!

A:Yes! We believe every woman deserves beautiful, functional modest activewear. Many of our styles are available from XS through 3X.

Q: Do you offer wholesale or can you come for a pop-up?
A: Yes! We love partnering with boutiques, fitness studios, schools, races, retreats, and community organizations. We’d love to pop up at your event, school, retreat, or community space. We’ve done everything from yoga festivals and races to Shabbatons and private shopping events.

Q: Where are your products made?
A: Every Transcendent Active piece is proudly made in America. We manufacture in Los Angeles while designing every collection in New Jersey. Keeping production local allows us to maintain exceptional quality and support ethical manufacturing.
Q: Are your products sustainably made?
A:Yes. Sustainability is one of our core values. We incorporate recycled fabrics whenever possible, produce in small batches to reduce waste, and create timeless styles you'll wear season after season instead of replacing every year.
