J.Crew Super 120s High Pencil Skirt $118 J.Crew’s all-purpose pencil is super popular for its slimming shape and soft merino wool; hitting just above the knee, we think it’s the perfect office-appropriate skirt. |
Nanette Lepore Makin’ Whoopee Pencil Skirt $278 We really like the bright sapphire and black houndstooth pattern on this funky skirt from Nanette Lepore. Plus, that unique fringed peplum at the hips is great for hiding midriff flab. |

| Kimchi Blue High Waisted Pull On Skirt $58 A full skirt can be elegant and fun, which is why we like this a-line with a large high waist band. It comes in three autumnal tones, but we’ll stick with this neutral charcoal shade. |
A-Line Denim Welt Pocket Skirt $79.50 If you’re going to go for the denim high waist look, but don’t want to regress too far into 80s wear, try a modest a-line shape like on this comfy, tailored skirt from Martin + Osa. |
Marc by Marc Jacobs “Saunder” Stripe Skirt $238 The double buckle embellishment on the sides of this Marc Jacobs design are our favorite feature; wear it with a fitted cardigan (we’re thinking burgundy) and some creative tights. |
