How to... style a pencil skirt

Pencil skirts, normally thought of as strictly office attire right? This is how I used to view them, boring and black for that 'sexy secretary' look. How wrong I was!

Pencil skirts can be styled for so many occassions if you pick the right accessories.

Check out my ideas below

1. For a day in the office

For work a neutral coloured skirt with a subtle print is office appropriate without being boring. Just tuck in a white silk shirt and add a statement ring or tuck a chunky necklace under the collar to finish the look.


2. For a summer BBQ

For a summer BBQ with friends go bright! A colour pop skirt with a cute floral bralette and lots of clashing accessories is perfect for an afternoon in the sun (if we ever get any in the UK!). When it gets chilly at night just pop on an oversized knit and you're good to go.


3. For a cocktail party

For a cocktail party pick a skirt with a beautiful pattern. This should be the focal point, but don't forget lots and lots of jewellery - it is a party after all!


What do you think, what different ways would you style a pencil skirt?
