Hailey Bieber is my style muse, so I've been closely observing her fall outfits and bookmarking the looks I want to re-create. While I've noticed her wearing Gap's dark-rinse baggy jeans, most of her outfits have featured non-denim pants like slim black trousers or pencil skirts—especially the latter. Recently, she has worn leather pencil skirts twice, pairing them with knee-high boots, similar to how chic dressers in London and Paris are styling them.
Pencil skirts and knee-high boots, especially heeled styles, are trending—and for good reason. This outfit combination offers a fresh and sophisticated alternative to jeans and boots. It's also versatile, pairing well with casual tops like a classic sweater. Bieber showcased this look perfectly—a black crewneck sweater, black leather pencil skirt, and heeled knee-high black leather boots. Not only Bieber but also European fashion people are embracing this fall look, proving that if you're tired of jeans and trousers and want to refresh your cold-weather wardrobe, a pencil skirt with knee-high boots is the refined choice. That said, keep scrolling to see how the style set is wearing this look and shop the pieces needed to re-create their elegant ensembles.
