10 Ways with a Pencil Skirt - You've come a long way baby

THE CLASSIC

Tailored jacket & simple top - everything in neutrals

ENTRY LEVEL CORPORATE

Want to make this more promotion ready? Change the tights
for nylons, swap the peep toes for closed toe & add a smart well fitting jacket.
PEPLUM

Dress pencil down with a peplum shell but be careful of what jacket you add.
This is Dior BTW.


This is Lanvin


That 60s VIBE

DSquared2

TONAL 

Pick colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel. 


FLORAL

TIP: A small floral in a fitted garment hides many lumps & bumps.


Nothing says summer like a large scale floral. Here is is mixed with a mint gingham.
For beginners mixers, keep the scale of the mixed prints different. 

PANELLED PRINT

Prints in vertical panels can take off pounds.
BTW, the midriff may be the latest erogenous zone,
but only for the young or very trim.

SEQUINS 

BTW, this rocks the graphic statement tee,
the oversize clutch & the contrast pump.


Another way to rock sequin pencil - with gingham skirt,
chunky pearl necklace, statement bag with a high waist.

EVENING 

Keep the top a bit bare & loose and
always satiny or silky. Add bling.

EVERYTHING COMES IN DENIM

This one is Chanel.
Dress it up with heels, a silky blouse & a sharp bag.
Dress it down with flat, a tee & a casual bag. 

oh, and the BADLY FITTING PENCIL

Crumply around the waist & too loose around the sides.

  1. I love pencil skirts, suits my narrow shape well adding curves where needed. I do struggle finding the right length and waist rise due to height deficiency though!!
