Pencil Skirts Are Really Having a Moment

Formalwear is boring. There’s no way around it – well unless you’re Beyonce and you’re pretty much perfect in anything. But since we’re all in the same boat, the question of how to flawlessly pull off wearing a pencil skirt can really be a headscratcher. That is until we go back in time a bit and explain to you the evolution of the ever-so famous pencil skirts. The very first pencil skirt was created by Christian Dior in 1954; shortly after, a myriad of brands followed suit, making this piece a trendy phenomenon, worthy of an elegant lady.

The trend then shifted unto a more business-oriented direction, what with the emancipation of women, allowing them to associate pencil skirts with a more formal environment. And now, ever since casual business attire came to life, everyone’s been transforming these beauties into a more laid-back movement. And so, fashion endorsers started revamping their style by creating unique combinations – think oversized sweaters tucked under pencil skirts, sneakers paired with said skirts and a whole lot of other innovations. The interchangeable options made for a very eclectic trend and hence came back en force on the latest runways, from Prada to Fendi, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and so many more!
