9 Pencil Skirt Outfits Perfect for Work
Typically when we think of pencil skirts, we immediately associate them with the office. And though we're not strongly opposed to this classic wardrobe staple, there is something that can feel stiff about the pencil skirt. After all, it's got a straight silhouette, has a longer hemline, and can even be—dare we say it—a bit dull. Thankfully, street style has once again come to the rescue and we've realized that interesting pencil skirt outfits are well within the realm of possibility. So to introduce the spring work season, we've gathered a selection of on-point ensembles for you to test-drive for spring. And because we know you may be short on your own collection of pencil skirts, we also sourced some of our favorite iterations to ensure your next jaunt to the workplace feels fashionable and elevated.
