The pencil skirt is one of the most iconic classic pieces in fashion. Since Chanel made pants a real thing for women, pencil skirts have been a way to stay in business while keeping a sense of femininity. And now they’re not just for the workplace. If you’re looking for a sexier vibe when going out, a shorter version of the pencil skirt should be a staple in your closet. For brunch or a dinner date, pair it with a loose t-shirt and a statement necklace for a more casual ensemble.
