How To Choose a Great Pencil Skirt

When choosing a pencils skirt make sure that the hem is sitting just at your knee, not above or below it.

Always wear skin toned tights or stockings and neutral colored shoes.

Make sure that the skirt has between 2% and 5% spandex. This will mean it will maintain its shape, and ensure that the skirt doesn’t loosen up and droop or become saggy.

If you purchase a skirt that is 100% cotton or polyester you may find that there isn’t enough give. This is especially important if you plan to spend time sitting down.

Choose Your Colors Wisely

When choosing the color of your pencil skirt think about your body type.

Darker colors such as black and navy will make broader hips look slimmer.

As well, pastels and neutral colors, such as beige or tan, will go with just about anything.

Get a tailor or dressmaker to fit your pencil skirt properly.

That way you can step out in style and look great each time you wear it.
