The Pencil Skirt Hit List

The Pencil Skirt Hit List

Sleek. Unassuming. Devastatingly chic.


When it comes to classic statement heroes, the pencil skirt wears her fair share of seasonal medallions. You see, the pencil skirt never chases attention — it quite literally owns it.

This winter, I thought it only necessary to help you build your pencil skirt arsenal — for those style-glitch moments when you’re tired of trousers and craving something a little more chic. So, we’re spotlighting five versions of this timeless silhouette that elevate the everyday and take the stiffness out of traditional styling.

From boardroom elegance to street-smart edge, these skirts aren’t just for looking good — they’re for wearing well.

“Who knew straight lines could take you so many places?”

1. The Elevated Nonchalant Work Skirt

🖇 COS Wool Column Maxi Skirt – Black

Style Statement: Tailored minimalism, made modern.
Why We Love It: A floor-length pencil with structure, warmth, and the quiet authority COS does so well.

💡 Style Tip:
Pair with a soft oversized shirt or boxy blazer. Finish with white trainers or loafers and a sleek bun — the ultimate in effortless workwear polish.

2. The Warm Midi (with French Girl Energy)

🖇 Sézane Eloane Skirt – Camel

Style Statement: Soft lines, strong presence.
Why We Love It: The subtle A-line gives just enough movement, while the camel tone reads chic no matter how grey the skies.

💡 Style Tip:
Wear with a slim knit and cropped wool jacket. Add sculptural earrings and a swipe of lipstick to let the French vibes take over.

3. The Great All-Rounder: Crepe Pencil Skirt

🖇 Scanlan Theodore Crepe Knit Pencil Skirt – Black

Style Statement: Sleek, sculpted, seasonless.
Why We Love It: Stretchy but structured, elegant yet easy. It’s the kind of skirt you can wear three times a week and no one will notice (in the best way).

💡 Style Tip:
Tuck in a black roll-neck knit and layer with a statement coat or trench. Add a pointed flat or tall boot depending on your mood.

4. The Rebel: Faux Leather Pencil

🖇 Wolf & Badger Dahlia Faux Leather Skirt – Black

Style Statement: Tough love, redefined.
Why We Love It: It hugs in all the right places and brings just the right edge. Soft vegan leather gives this a glossy, sculptural finish without going OTT.

💡 Style Tip:
Wear with a fine grey knit and oversized coat. Ground the look with combat boots or kitten heels for that cool/grown-up contrast.

5. The Weekend Player: Denim Pencil Skirt

🖇 Isabel Marant Tilaura Denim Skirt – Black

Style Statement: Off-duty cool with fashion clout.
Why We Love It: The structured denim and side slit make it street-smart and casually confident. Less prim, more play.

💡 Style Tip:
Style with a chunky knit, oversized scarf, and retro sneakers. Perfect for market runs, coffee strolls, or gallery Sundays.
