How to Wear Leather Pencil Skirt

A fashion item that’s becoming more and more popular over the years, the leather pencil skirt is turning into a staple office wear, evening wear, and for certain color picks and with what you wear it with, even a daytime and summer wear. Leather pencil skirts are truly versatile apparels that, if a woman’s wardrobe is without, misses one out from all the fashion opportunities and great looks one can create from it. If you’re quite weary how to don the leather pencil skirt, let me tell you how.

1.       Find the right skirt length for your specific body type. Leather pencils can come in many forms. If you’re the tall and slender type, go for the pencil cut a little above the knee. Most body types that do not fall in the same category as the latter and would opt for the on-the-knee leather pencils and the ones below the knee.

2.       Find the right cut and design. This is an important element to looking your best. As women are build differently, specific skirt designs will go well only with certain shapes. Pear-shaped women should stay away from pleated designs, as such is only best for the petite ones for some added frame. Smooth tailored designs would do the trick. Remember, A-line cuts flatters almost all shapes, you might want to try it out. However, if you are slender with some pretty good height, you can flaunt on knife-pleat pencil or the more flared cuts.

3.       Find the right color. Most leather pencil skirts out there come in the most basic black and brown. As they’re the most versatile and would stretch one’s wardrobe quite amazingly, having one in such color would be a smart option. Yet, going for more adventurous color options like white, blue, pink and the striking red would acquaint you with fashion possibilities more than you ever thought you could explore.

4.        Find the right top. If you have your leather pencils in black or brown, finding the right top wouldn’t be much of a headache. Paired with a tank, a dressy blouse, jersey top or even your simplest tee, as long as it looks good in front of the mirror, a little more attitude will pull off your ensemble. Make sure your top’s fabric is appropriate for the season, time and venue. If you wanna go an extra mile with your leather look, you can top it off with a nice jacket, and you’re sure to turn some heads.

5.       Find the right shoes. When worn to work, plain black pumps is the classic must-go-with for your leather pencil skirt. Yet winter and fall trends show how this skirt would look truly edgy with tall boots. And for sexy nights, strappy sandals with a bit of accent will look sophisticated.

6.       Find the right time and place to wear it. With the skirt’s versatility, you can practically take this trend from work and transition easily to your night out. Perhaps slip on your pumps with the skirt during the day at work and switch to your sexy stilettos when meeting your girlfriend for dinner. Lighter fabrics, when teamed up with leather skirts, makes the whole ensemble appropriate for daytime and even for summer. Evening and winter looks calls for the tall boots and nice-fitting jackets. Finding the right time and place to wear it would somehow sum up the kind of top you pair it with, your footwear, accessories and not to forget, how you wear it.
