Pencil Skirts Trend with knee-length skirts

Pencil Skirts

These knee-length skirts are fitted to the body from the waist to slightly above the knee, usually in stretchy fabrics or with a slit at the back. They are for you only if you are skinny or slim, because they curve in at the hip, emphasizing the hips and the derriere. The black leather Roberto Cavalli skirt is a classic pencil skirt that could be worn to formal occasions for sensual elegance. Great for a svelte figure.

You can wear the high-waisted white Danielle Scutt if you want to show off the curve of your hips, and shorten your torso. To gently play the hips down a little, you would need a shape like that of the golden hipster pencil skirt from Blumarine which is perfect for a smaller frame with a short torso.

The woolen black pencil skirt teamed with the jacket is perfect for office wear, especially for thin women. Though the pencil is commonly worn plain, you can also wear embroidered versions like the charming 6267 pencil skirt flared at the knee. This would look especially good on you if you are trying to distract attention from a long torso or small bust, because the entire attention will be focused on your lower body. Pencil skirts usually look nicer with close-toed heeled shoes including patent leather point shoes. As can be seen from the pictures, a little strap detail at the ankle is flattering as well. These skirts usually do not look nice with boots.
