How to Wear Pencil Skirts

A pencil skirt is quite versatile - and with the right accessories and styling, you can easily transform it from a plain librarian look into something more chic and fun. They are everywhere you turn, in every fabric, colour and print. They’re a classic piece that will never go out of style, can be worked for any occasion. No matter if you are young or old, you’ll always feel good and comfortable wearing pencil skirts.
Pencil skirts are made to hug curves and craft a statement. From work to evening, their versatility establishes them as a wardrobe staple. Every woman’s closet should have one.
Two important details that you must pay attention to when it comes to a pencil skirt is the length and the fit. A pencil skirt is usually most flattering when the hem ends around the knees. It can be slightly above or below but usually not any shorter. You can also play with patterned pencil skirts or try master the colour blocking trend. The skirt should also be fitted around the waist and hips but not too tight.
If the waistband is a bit too snug and difficult to sit then it’s too tight. You know a piece is too tight when you start to see horizontal lines form across the hips. Fit is critical for work as you want to be comfortable – so make sure the length and fit are perfect so you feel stylish and confident. You shouldn’t have to fuss with your clothes at the office because what you need to be focusing on is the work in front of you.
If you wear a high waist skirt or a skirt with a thicker waistband then a blouse would look best tucked in.
Personally, I always wear my shirts tucked in when wearing a pencil skirt. There are many positives to wearing your shirt tucked in: it creates a slimmer waist, makes the look more sophisticated, which is especially appropriate for the office, and for the petite gals it creates the illusion of longer legs.
It fits any time, age and fashion.
