One of my favorite shows on TV is Suits. Not only because I love the story line, but also because the costume designer does such an amazing job! One of the main characters, Rachel, can almost always be seen in a pencil skirt and without fail she looks impeccable!!
As I mentioned in a previous post, the silhouette of a pencil skirt is flattering for every body type! Just remember to choose a skirt that is darker and has some stretch if you have fuller hips and thighs.
To give the illusion of appearing taller, avoid a pencil skirt with a longer hemline (such as the one I am wearing in these photos) and instead opt for a hemline, which ends right above your knee caps!
Because this is a work wardrobe column I have shown how to style a pencil skirt for the office, but you could easily pair this skirt with a crop top, like I did in this post and be ready to go out!
Do you love pencil skirts as much as I do? Let me know in the comments below!

The pencil skirt is amazing! I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull off that winter white the way you do! Your style is impeccable and you’re always spot on when it comes to the look that I LOVE!
I also think Claire Underwood on House of Cards dresses incredibly! Have you watched that series on Netflix?
Aww thanks sweetie!!! Such a good call with Claire Underwood!! She does dress incredibly well!! I haven’t watched the most recent season yet because I’ve been so busy but it is definitely on my to do list!! xoxo yael
I love the simplicity of this look. The white skirt is amazing, and the top with it is perfection.
