High-waisted pencil skirt

Pencil skirts are considered classics and can be seen in the wardrobe of millions of women. The most popular version of such a skirt is the classic knee-length model, but these days many women of fashion choose a similar skirt, sewn with a high waistline.

With this wardrobe item, you can create both a casual look and an outfit for a gala event or a party.

• The skirt of this style fits the hips and is slightly narrowed downwards.
• Due to the higher waistline, such a skirt visually stretches the figure, draws attention to the chest and makes the waist visually slimmer.
• Its length is often average (slightly below the knees or slightly above the knee), but there are models with mini lengths and elongated skirts up to the middle of the lower leg.

• In many models, for the greater convenience of the owner, a small incision is provided in the back (less often there is a slit in the front and on the side).
• Most often, a pencil skirt is characterized by a lack of decoration, but nowadays, patch pockets, lace inserts, frills, embroidery, lacing and other elements are often used to decorate such a skirt model.

A skirt of this style is suitable not only for slender beauties, but also for girls with curvaceous shapes. Of course, long-legged girls with a proportional figure have more scope for experimenting with a pencil skirt. They can afford any color and any fabric, and also do not limit themselves in length.

When overweight, it is preferable to model from a dark material that will not be too tight.... Models with large patterns or pockets should be avoided; it is better to choose a plain skirt or a product with a small print.

Choosing a V-neck top for such a skirt will stretch the silhouette and accentuate the bust, which at the same time distracts from wide hips. The addition of a pencil skirt with a strict jacket or a loose cardigan can also smooth out the disproportionate figure. And don't forget about high heels, because these shoes also help you look slimmer and a little taller.

For this style, the most common way with a high-waisted pencil skirt is to combine a tight black or dark gray skirt with a white, tailored shirt or blouse tucked in. The business image allows for a minimum of accessories that should be discreet.

The variety of everyday options for a pencil skirt with a high waistline is quite large. Knitted and denim models are very popular, especially in summer. For cool weather, checkered skirts made of dense material are often chosen, paired with a pullover, sweatshirt or knitted sweater. Going on a date, complement a bright pencil skirt with a delicate top or light blouse.

One of the now popular options for a universal high-waisted skirt is a model made of leather. With it, you can create different looks, for example, for a party or going to a club.

• Choose bright accessories to create an eye-catching look by wearing a strict skirt. It can be a wide belt or a bag in a juicy shade.
