Pencil Skirts

Oh, the pencil skirt, the emblem of the high-powered career woman – as little girls, we dreamed of wearing one while strutting into our offices in commanding six inch designer heels, with stylish leather briefcase in tow. Now as adults, we know that those six inch pumps are deadly during the daily commute and that carrying a briefcase means you had lots of take-home work to get done the night before. It doesn’t sound so glamorous anymore. Somehow though, pencil skirts have yet to lose their mystique and these days, with designers creating this archetypal skirt in various hues, patterns and styles, pencils are no longer donned only for the workplace.

Because of their usefulness for funerals, Bar Mitzvahs, and family gatherings where you see your grandparents, black pencil skirts tend to get a bad rep. Always classy and slyly sexy, a black pencil is also a great choice for an evening out.
