9 Pencil Skirt Outfits To Look Like You Stepped Off The Runway

A cult-classic look loved by all women alike is a simple button-down with a well-fitted pencil skirt. We suggest opting for a slightly oversized shirt that you can tuck-in for that flowy, semi-formal look while leaving a couple of top buttons open to maintain the same vibe of that French laid-back boss-lady, (yes we are talking about Sylvie From Emily In Paris). Keep it simple with a pair of heels and gold minimal jewellery and finish it off with a clutch in hand. 

This winter look is a must-try for all those living in colder regions. The pairing of a grey knit skirt with a maroon sweater is a treat to the eyes as the colours go well together while highlighting your make-up and features. For a cosier look, you can add in a shawl to look even more chic with an oversized tote bag that can fit in all your needs for a day out! 

The key to this look is the styling. Choose to only button up the top few buttons in the shirt while leaving the rest open over a well-fitted satin skirt. For accessories, opt for a shoulder bag or a sling with a pair of shades. You can also wear gold statement hoops or studs to complete the whole thing. 

Pro-tip: Best homegrown jewellery brands 

A very casual and simple way to style a pencil maxi skirt is to wear it with a stretchy off-shoulder top and a belt to create the illusion of a partial bodycon. We also suggesting opting for dainty jewellery and cat-eye glares for the model-like vibe with a small hand bag purse to carry essentials. This is a great look for a date or cafe outing. 

Pro-tip: Best micro-bags to buy 

If you want to look like a model off duty then a turtle neck has to be your go-to. Try a simple turtle neck on a denim pencil skirt with a coat for a winter look. For warmer weather, you can go with a sleeveless cable knit turtle neck that will accentuate the street-wear vibe. You can also your hair back in a sleek pony and take a handbag that goes with your boots. You can also wear aviator shades for a complete streetwear look. 

Show up shiny with a sparkly and bright outfit embodying Barbie. You can pair a ruched skirt in case you don't have a lace-up with a turtle neck or a button-up full-sleeve shirt of the same colour and texture, essentially a co-ord set. Pick out minimal jewellery to go with the fit and make-up that is equally minimal to let the outfit shine. What we love about this is that it is the perfect outfit for a girls-outing or a lunch-date. 

Pick a co-ord set or a set of matching colours and textures for a top and skirt to get this casual day-out look. You can also pick non-neutral shades to stand out and brighten your outfit. You can then elevate the entire outfit by choosing a matching bag and heels for a chic cafe look, further, you can leave your hair down for a more natural vibe. 

If you are feeling bougie for a night out then try to nail this tricky outfit with a black skirt that has cutouts on the waistline and a corset top to match. Pair it with pencil heels and silver statement jewellery for a richer look and play around with a fancy hairstyle and make-up to avoid the 'basic in black' monotony. Also since corsets are still all the rage, this will always be a winner.
