From being something that women just used to wear to the workplace, the pencil skirt is quickly becoming a stylista’s favorite piece for a quick primp and posh street style look. There are tons of looks that you can pull off using a pencil skirt. What I really like about these skirts is that they work well and look great on just about any body shape / type. If you’re looking for a skirt you can wear that will give you that sexy look and feel without necessarily showing off your legs, go for a pencil skirt. It’s a skirt that can easily take you from day to night / desk to dinner, too. Check out these fun and stylish ways to wear pencil skirts.

  • Wear it with a casual top – since a pencil skirt generally looks dressy and posh, wearing it with something casual up top is the best way to go if you want to achieve a cute and easy street style look. Choose and pair it with something that you would usually wear with boyfriend jeans, shorts or any other street style bottoms and finish the outfit off with either heels for a more sophisticated look or sneakers to get a full on street style attire.

  • With any shirt tucked in – pencil skirts are almost always high waisted so if you’re someone who likes to emphasize and flaunt her curves when dressing up, this styling trick is for you. Tuck your shirt into your pencil skirt to get a really sexy look that will make your curves the focal point of your outfit. This works well with just about any top, especially button down shirts and blouses.
