Ditch your outdated high-low skirts for a sophisticated alternative

A pencil skirt seems like a neutral staple, and it can certainly work well in that capacity. However, these days, choosing a pencil skirt to add some flair to your ensemble can be a totally unexpected way to add detail to your look. Don’t think of a pencil skirt as a business casual suit piece, turn this basic on its head. Invest in a pencil skirt that, when paired with different pieces, can become the focal point of many different ensembles. A faux leather variant like this or something with a bold, eye-catching print like this unique midi skirt are great pieces to add to your wardrobe and mix and match to create many different, easy-to-wear outfits.

Pair your statement pencil skirt with everything from a crop top or tank top to an oversized tucked-in t-shirt or collared shirt. The styling options are a lot wider than you might think, and pairing this rock style with unexpected tops and accessories can give it that fresh, modern vibe we all want to give to resurgent retro trends.
