Long pencil skirt
The cut of the pencil skirt is made in such a way that it beautifully fits women's hips and becomes narrower to the bottom of the product. This model gives harmony and elegance to any woman. However, a long skirt can get in the way of walking, so designers often make adjustments and add a slit or scent.
High-waisted
The peculiarity of the high waist is that it allows you to make the silhouette more proportional.
The high waist of the pencil skirt brings it a little closer to the dress. It perfectly emphasizes the hips and seems to flow down smoothly, giving femininity and charm. The style looks elegant and soft at the same time. With the help of such a thing in your wardrobe, you can create a lot of looks from business to festive.
A variety of fabrics will help you optimize your choice. The fabric that combines wool and elastane fits very well on the figure. The jersey skirt does not restrict movement at all. In it, a woman will feel very comfortable.
The high waist of a pencil skirt, together with high-heeled shoes, can turn a woman of medium height into a tall beauty. Depending on the color scheme, an image is created for business meetings and work in the office or for a gala event.
Who suits
Since a long pencil skirt makes the figure slimmer and taller, it should not be worn by too thin girls. If you are the owner of wide shoulders and narrow hips (inverted triangle figures), then you also should not get this style for your wardrobe. Visually, it will further reduce your hips.
High-waisted pencil skirt is not recommended for women with rounded shapes. She will focus on a rounded tummy.
For a silhouette in the shape of a pear and the letter "X" (or hourglass), the high waist of the pencil skirt serves as a kind of corset and perfectly hides the flaws and extra pounds that have accumulated at the waist.
A mid-length pencil skirt requires shapely legs from its owner. Therefore, if your calves are not beautiful enough, the long model is quite acceptable.
Overweight women are not recommended fabric with a large pattern and the presence of pockets. It is better if the skirt is dark and the print is small. You can go for a little trick and wear a blouse with a V-shaped cutout. It will draw attention to itself, and others will forget about wide hips.
If your figure resembles a rectangle, then you definitely need to get a pencil skirt. It will visually make the waist thinner and the hips wider.
Paradoxically, a long pencil skirt can make a small woman even shorter.
What to wear with?
The high waist visually lengthens the legs, therefore, shoes without a heel (sandals, ballet flats) are perfect for this style.
If you need to create an office look, then put on high-heeled pumps and a loose-fitting blouse (shirt or frill). It is better to tuck a blouse into a skirt.
If you have focused on a printed pencil skirt, then the top should be solid and in harmony with the color of the skirt itself. With the right combination, it will seem to others that you are not wearing a top and a skirt, but a dress. For this look, sandals with high heels are suitable. The high wedge heel looks no less attractive. If you decide to wear "gladiators", then keep in mind that such shoes require special wearing rules: there must be an open space between the skirt and the upper strap of such shoes.
A crop top fits well with a high waist. This summer option requires the wearer to have a flat tummy and a light tan. Too light skin will add a not very beautiful accent.
The bodysuit looks great with a pencil skirt. Plus, it's very convenient. A blouse can slip out of a skirt when bent over, and with a bodysuit you are reliably insured against such a nuisance, and your appearance will be flawless.
You can choose a cord or a belt as an accessory. He favorably emphasizes the waist. Accessories for a strict skirt should be bright.
For celebrations and dining out, focus on the rich colors of the skirt. Light silk blouse will give lightness and airiness. A velvet, silk or brocade skirt is an option for a restaurant, a satin and guipure skirt for a club.
