The fit of a pencil skirt is very important to make us look attractive and be comfortable. How many times have you seen a woman wearing one but it doesn't fit properly? It is either too flared....
Or it doesn't hit at the right place on your leg....
Or it is too tight and cups your bottom...
Or pulls across the front....
Happily, women with curves can wear them beautifully....
These skirts can be informal....
Or professional....
Or even dressy....
Some come with matching suit jackets but these are usually the skirts that require tailoring. I worked with a woman who wore her suits straight off the rack and they always looked awful, making her look dumpy and boxy.
Having the skirt altered changes the look of suits and how professional and put together you look wearing them.
So go out and buy a well fitting dark pencil skirt this season. Check for how it pulls across the front, how it fits across your butt, that the length suits your height and that you can sit comfortably in it. A word of advice: I never buy skirts that button all the way down the front because when you sit, the buttons pull and you have a lot of gaps between buttons that show too much you.
Your pencil skirt can be worn with a variety of tops, cardigans and jackets and a great variety of shoes.
Once you wear your dark pencil skirt, you might want to consider buying a printed pencil skirt next, or a basic color (red, green, tan) as an additional staple piece. You will find it is a "go-to" wardrobe piece you will wear often. And please let me know if you do... or not.
I'd love to hear how this works for you.
Until next week, I remain,
Stylistically yours,
Sooz
