Pencil me in
Natalie Dawson takes note of the most striking on-trend pencil skirts, available now.

 

The right skirt for right now is all about the pencil, writes Natalie Dawson.

 

Taking the wearer from day to night with ease, the right pencil skirt will mix practicality with sex appeal.

 

Style tip: Merchandise in store with office-appropriate blouses for day, then take it up a notch for evening with this season's stand-out style; the crop top.

 

Style tip: Interesting details will win the day for this trend, so look for subtle patterns and pleats, or leather and metallic highlights.
