Combination of pencil skirt and t-shirt. What to wear with a skirt in winter: fashion briefing

Many girls choose jeans and a T-shirt as their daily wear. But if you want to become more feminine and wear a skirt, this does not mean at all that you have to puzzle over the choice of top. You can safely put on your favorite T-shirt and look very stylish at the same time!

White and black t-shirts - a universal solution

Any skirt goes with a plain t-shirt. It can be a daring mini, a strict midi or a luxurious maxi. Since eclecticism is now in fashion, you can safely wear an evening skirt in everyday life, complementing it with a laconic T-shirt. Fans of style can even afford a T-shirt with a slogan or a cute print, while beginners should opt for a plain one.

Origami skirts and models with an asymmetric cut are also in fashion now. They look very self-sufficient on their own, so do not overload them with an active top. A plain white or black t-shirt is ideal.

But you can experiment with accessories, for every day you can limit yourself to a small handbag and sunglasses. But if you are going on a date or to a party, complete the look with exquisite jewelry. The game in contrast looks especially stylish - a basic T-shirt and a chic necklace.

A white t-shirt is the perfect complement to a romantic look. It is enough to choose a light and airy skirt with a floral print for her. If it's cold outside, complete the look with a denim jacket.

Perfect completion of the image - sandals or ballet flats and a small handbag over the shoulder.

How to choose a T-shirt depending on the length of the skirt?

Long skirts

In the hot summer, there is nothing better than a floor-length skirt and a light, simple T-shirt made of soft jersey. If you prefer a fluffy skirt, the T-shirt should be tight-fitting or fitted. An oversized T-shirt will look better with a straight maxi skirt. If you don't have one in your wardrobe, you can borrow one from your boyfriend. It should be worn deliberately casually, tucked in on one side only. Light sandals or sneakers are perfect for this look.

Midi

The midi skirt is the most popular today, because thanks to the versatility of modern fashion, you can wear it with a simple T-shirt and your favorite shoes. You can choose a t-shirt with a bright print and comfortable sneakers for a tight-fitting model. This is a great look for every day. An A-line style works best with heels and a neutral-colored solid t-shirt. Perfect for an informal outing.

Short

A miniskirt is an active wardrobe item in itself, so a T-shirt is a great addition to it. This is the perfect tandem for summer, which can turn into autumn-spring if you complement it with tights and a cropped jacket, denim jacket or leather jacket. Wearing a closed top, you can afford heels, sandals or pumps will look perfect. For every day, sneakers or oxfords, which are the favorites of modern bloggers, are great.

Choosing a t-shirt based on the style of the skirt

Pencil

For a stylish casual look, choose a knitted, denim or leather pencil skirt that can be paired with either a solid color or a brightly printed t-shirt. If it's cold outside, throw on a denim jacket or cardigan. Choose shoes to your taste: sandals or platform shoes, ankle boots, sneakers, ballet flats.

The sun

To skillfully emphasize your femininity, but at the same time not look too pretentious, wear a sun skirt with a plain T-shirt without a base shade neckline. This is a great option for both office work and every day. If you are planning a business look, complete it with a cropped jacket, pumps and minimalist jewelry. For every day, you can choose a more active T-shirt with a bright inscription, complementing the image with active jewelry.

tutu

The tutu skirt is very voluminous, so it is better to choose a tight-fitting top for it so that there is no imbalance. A simple T-shirt is the perfect option.

This is a great option for going out, especially if you wear a massive necklace or pendant. In everyday life, in order not to look like a ballerina, choose a T-shirt with a contrasting print or eye-catching slogan. There are no restrictions regarding shoes, it can be pumps or stiletto sandals, ballet flats, sneakers or even sneakers. Sports shoes complete your eclectic look perfectly.

Striped T-shirt looks

The striped t-shirt never goes out of style, it's stylish and versatile. It is best to wear it with a plain skirt of any style. It can be a pencil, year, mini, A-line, pack.

Remember to keep the proportions: pencil skirt and boyfriend t-shirt, fluffy skirt and tight t-shirt.

You can go against the rules and wear a voluminous bottom and top, or vice versa, tight-fitting. But provided that you have a very good figure.

If you want to experiment, wear a striped T-shirt and a printed skirt. Looks beautiful "leopard", floral pattern or tartan cage. But be careful, because the combination of prints is not easy, and it is very easy to make a mistake here.

Should I tuck a T-shirt into a skirt?

Tucking a T-shirt into a skirt is for girls with a pronounced waist. These are the owners of the "hourglass" and "pear" figures. If you are a "rectangle" or "apple", it is better not to emphasize the waist line. This is only acceptable if you want to wear a jacket or cardigan on top.

If your top is much shorter than the bottom, then the T-shirt should also be worn out, otherwise the top will visually look even smaller. And the owners of a long torso should do the opposite.

Girls with very large breasts should be careful when tucking a T-shirt into a skirt, as this will draw even more attention to her. But in this case, everything is individual, perhaps on the contrary you want to achieve such an effect.

Good afternoon - today we will talk about a straight cut skirt called PENCIL SKIRT. I collected in one article pencil skirts - the most fashionable colors and styles. Here you will learn

  • what to wear with beige pencil skirt (and also fashionable this season yellow and blue),
  • with what to combine black and white skirt (stripes, polka dots, plaid and floral print),
  • how to wear glamorous black sequined skirt oil colors,

  • what to wear under leather pencil skirt What about under a knitted stretch skirt?
  • How to wear lacy pencil skirt.

I will show you how to wear a pencil skirt with a SHIRT, with silk TOPs, with knit T-shirts and knitted SWEATERS.

Yes, yes, even with a sweater you can create a very feminine and even sophisticated look with a pencil skirt.

After all, agree everyone has a closet full of clothes, and when you take out a pencil skirt from it, out of habit you grab a blouse (this or that).

But THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER OPTIONS - and they're all hiding in your closet - and they're all begging for a pencil skirt... but we don't even know how beautiful and stylish it will be if you combine them with a pencil skirt - FRIEND seemingly different things thanks to a belt, scarf or jewelry.

So let's get started….

PENCIL SKIRT - for slender and full.

First of all, please note that straight-cut skirts are not only for slender girls with a chiseled figure.

Women of significant merit they can also safely start such a pencil skirt in their everyday wardrobe. It can be a stretch knit model with a strong fit. Or a skirt made of dense, slightly stretchy material.

And even with a small tummy, you can tuck your top, tunic, shirt or blouse into a pencil skirt (but, provided that the fabric of the skirt is dense enough and the crumpled top of your set of clothes does not show through it) ...

You will find a lot of beautiful images with skirts for girls with a full figure in my special article.

And fat girls should not be shy to create MULTILAYER combinations of shirts and sweaters - this does not add volume to you, but rather drapes the waist area and makes your protruding tummy invisible.

PENCIL SKIRT

– freedom of choice of fabric and decorative cut.

Now fashion allows you to use ANY FABRIC VOICE for sewing a pencil skirt. It can be lace (black skirt photo below)… it can be finely pleated fabric (purple pencil skirt)… or even quilted fabric (high-waisted skirt photo below).

Also, designers often complicate the pencil skirt additional elements of cut... it can be a peplum, frill, tucks, complex pleats-patches (pictured below) or wide bows (black skirt below).

Now let's on real photo examples, let's look at what you can wear with a variety of pencil skirts (blue, yellow, beige, leopard, checkered, shiny, with flowers and stripes)

What to wear with a BEIGE PENCIL SKIRT.

Delicate pastel image of purity will create a BEIGE pencil skirt in your wardrobe if you also choose the upper part of the set in light fresh colors. Can pick up tone on tone with a wide sweater skirt. It is customary to tuck the front of the sweater behind the front of the skirt (left photo below).

A beautiful image will create a beige pencil skirt with a soft pastel cardigan and shirt in thin delicate stripes. Jewelry will give this image feminine sophistication (right photo below).

Suitable for a beige skirt all shades of cocoa, milk chocolate, cappuccino foam color, creamy color. Colors are better to choose muted, as if powdered.

Beige looks good leather pencil skirt. Despite the density of the fabric and the apparent solidity, such a skirt is equally appropriate in a set of SWEATER + SCARF (left photo below) ... and with a translucent lace top (right photo). That is, a leather skirt can be worn both in summer with tops and in winter with large-knit sweaters with a relief pattern.

What to wear with a YELLOW pencil skirt.

Yellow first goes well with BLACK(a simple fitted top, or decorated with a peplum-frill along the bottom edge, a black shirt or tunic).
Bold yellow pencil skirt wear with a BLUE top, moreover, the darker the shade of blue, the nobler such a set of clothes will look (left photo below).

Looks good with yellow skirt denim shades of blue(for example, a denim jacket or jacket). Blue color can be generously diluted with white- for example, wear with a white top and jacket and let in blue color elements only on a small neckerchief.

A yellow pencil skirt can be worn with blue and light turquoise. It looks good with simple men's cut shirts. The shirt can be tucked under a skirt or tied in a knot.

yellow pencil skirt match with leopard print- it can be just a black T-shirt and leopard jewelry. Or a leo-stained blouse. Or a scarf.

And below are the photos that I really like - because there is my favorite combination of shapes SLIM skirt and WIDE tunic top.

We see that a wide tunic needs to be THREADED into a pencil skirt with its FRONT SIDE. And the back side of the tunic in length should be in harmony with the length of the skirt - at best, no longer than the bottom line of the buttocks.

You can completely tuck the tunic into the skirt (as in the photo below).

And by the way, about DECOLTE it is important to say that the pencil skirt really DOES NOT LIKE deep necklines on the chest (it immediately looks vulgar). If your hips are covered, then the neckline is already too much. But if you really want a deep neckline that exposes the flesh, then let it be BACK (as in the left photo below).

WHERE TO WEAR A BLUE pencil skirt.

Blue color goes well with beige ... with shades brown. It is good to wear blue under cold shades of light pink and lemon yellow. emerald green or light turquoise also goes well with a blue pencil skirt.

Teamed with a white top, a blue pencil skirt creates a fresh and dressy look. And blue with black is already a heavier combination (but very popular because of its practicality and non-staining). Beautiful office style - with a business skirt in a rich, restrained color. You will find even more options for skirt sets for the office in my article.

HOW TO WEAR A PRINT PENCIL SKIRT.

Drawing (print) on a pencil skirt is always beautiful. Such a colored skirt becomes the central spot of the whole composition - therefore, paired with a multi-colored skirt, you need SOLID top ONLY(that is, one color) - any color that is present in the print on the skirt.

Here in the photo below we see a black knitted tunic paired with a pencil skirt, on which black is present.
Pale colors on a pencil skirt require the same calm muted color. for a blouse or shirt.

Juicy contrasting colors on a pencil skirt should be supported by the same BRIGHT colors on the top part of the outfit (as we see in the example with a pencil skirt with red flowers).

LEOPARD PRINT on pencil skirt.

Classic leopard print(brown-beige warm shades like on the skin of a leopard) require either black or white. Although, with the saturation of colors of leo-specks, a red top is acceptable.

Leopard print on the skirt can be done in a different color palette. And then the selection of the color of clothing depends on the shade of the leopard color.

SCOTTY CHECK and pencil skirt.

Scottish plaid skirt requires or shirts, or a simple cut top(that is, without ruffles and flounces). The cubic shape of the cells, requires the same straight lines in the cut top or blouse. The cut of the men's shirt fits perfectly, as well as straight tunics with square sleeves without frills and tucks and soft folds (as we see in the examples in the photo below).

And the Scottish cage may not be on the pencil skirt itself, but on the shirt that we tucked into the skirt or tied it with a knot at the waist line. With a plaid shirt, you can wear ANY pencil skirts - both simple and glamorous (in sequins or reasonable lace).

Below I found a photo with a good example of how a CHARMING RIBBON TIE around the collar of a shirt adds sophistication to the whole look.

And since we have already started the topic of shiny skirts, let's see how they can be combined with certain wardrobe details to create a daytime, evening or work-office look.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH

sparkly sequined pencil skirt.

To get started, here are two examples of how elegantly and casually you can introduce a sparkling pencil skirt into everyday wardrobe. With a simple black top, such a skirt would be lost - but with the addition of a bow-shaped leather belt, everything balances out.

Likewise, a simple black-and-white checkered shirt gives a sparkly look just the right amount of casual calm, and jewelry in the open collar of the shirt adds sophistication to a deliberately simple top…and a thin strap adds austerity and detracts from the sequins.

For comparison, here's an example of how the same black sparkly pencil skirt can be used FIRST in a casual set with a leather jacket and a knitted T-shirt, AND THEN in an evening dress for going out.

We will go into more detail on sparkly skirts and how they can be worn in one of my next articles, and then the link will work here.

WHERE TO WEAR A BLACK AND WHITE pencil skirt.

Black + white is a classic. The pencil skirt is also a classic. We usually use a black skirt and a white blouse. But the same black and white image can be created in a more interesting way.

In the photo below we see how a striped pencil skirt goes well with a white blouse embellished with black and white trim.
And black and white stripes will look good on the top of the clothing - and a pencil skirt can be plain.

In the photo above we see that a black and white skirt in a WHITE top creates a fresh look. And in the photo below we see that the skirt of the same colors but with a BLACK top creates an already strict business silhouette. You will find many more examples of office style with skirts in the article.

The print on the skirt can be GEOMETRIC (squares, stripes, triangles)… or the print can be loose (eg floral). And also in the photo above, we see that such sets can be worn with the addition of bright accents - red lipstick and blue shoes, a bright colored clutch bag.

Looks good skirt in black and white polka dots. This skirt can be worn with white and black items in your wardrobe. But it will be beautiful if you add a BRIGHT AND juicy hue to this composition. It can be a handbag, a bright wide belt, or a coat.

In the example of the lower photos, we see the same principle where a black and white ribbed or rhombus skirt looks good both with a monochrome black shirt and with bright things from your wardrobe (for example, with a red jacket).

An example of an office black and white style can be found in the article.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH

LACE pencil skirt.

This season, lace stubbornly holds a leading position. Lace fabric has already ceased to be used only in the decoration of festive dresses. Now lace is everyday wear for walking and office. Even the strictest dress code will not object to lace if it is used when sewing a business pencil skirt.

In the photo below, we see that a lace pencil skirt can be worn with a thin knitted jumper made of angora or cotton.

You can also refuel in such a lace pencil skirt tunic with a straight wide cut.

Can also be worn over a pencil skirt wear a layered top with a shirt and a thin sweater- and leave all layers in a loose overlap on the skirt.

Even jerseys and tops straight wide cut can be safely worn not only with sweatpants but also with a lace straight skirt.

And of course delicate silk fabrics make friends with lace patterns on a pencil skirt. It can be a blouson with long sleeves made of transparent fabric. Or a top that reveals the shoulders as much as possible, made of shiny silk with overflows.

Lace can COVER THE WHOLE SKIRT. Or lace can be present on a regular pencil skirt as an interesting design element of the cut.

With wide knitted sweater voluminous cut, such a lace pencil skirt is also appropriate and looks good. Volume the sweater can be the same color as the skirt or be lighter than it. Most importantly, it should not be darker. That combination of a light skirt with lace and a dark sweater would have looked hard. But black lace and a light voluminous sweater are already a more balanced set of clothes.

Also, lace together with a pencil skirt looks even if it is not present on the skirt, but on a top or tunic tucked into a skirt.

PENCIL SKIRT how to wear WITH A TOP.

Straight fit pencil skirt requires a straight cut top. This is the most profitable option.

But flounces, peplums, ruffles and draperies ALSO look absolutely great with the straight strictness of the skirt. They immediately soften the image, thin the silhouette and make the set of clothes more elegant and less strict and office.

Soft folds of chiffon fabrics and warm reflections of silky gloss look beautiful.

Pencil skirt

with cotton jersey.

Or the top can be the simplest jersey tank top (skinny or loose). In all cases, the T-shirt is tucked into the skirt. The fitted one tucks in perfectly flat... and the wide t-shirt tucks into the slouchy skirt.

Pencil skirt WITH BLOUSE and SHIRT.

Well, it's quite a classic. A blouse under a pencil skirt can be short-sleeved or not at all. It can have ruffles, tucks, bows and flounces. And in this case, jewelry should be absent or be the simplest in design.

Or a blouse can be of the simplest cut. Then jewelry should complement this simplicity, and this is exactly the case when you can add the power of its design - large pendants, powerful necklaces.

Next to the blouses, SHIRTS are in line for the pencil skirt. With a shirt, you can wear absolutely any pencil skirt (and not just denim, as most people think). Even with a lace skirt, you can safely wear a shirt (see photo below with a yellow skirt).

Even with a skirt in bright colors you can wear a simple shirt (the main thing is that it be plain and of the color that is present in the print on the skirt).

And here, large jewelry will add sophistication to your look and give the shirt cut a kind of blouse decor.

The shirt can be tucked into a skirt. And you can tie a knot at the waist.

Good luck with your stylish decisions.

Olga Klishevska, specially for the site

The pencil skirt appeared for the first time as an independent item in the early 40s in the collection Christian Dior. She instantly fell in love with fashionistas, because thanks to her the figure looked even more feminine, elegant and slender.

For girls and women with curvy shapes, it is not recommended to wear printed items with a large pattern (this will make your figure visually even larger), it is better to focus on small patterns.

How to choose

Length

  • Tapered to the bottom (but not tight) to the knee in the classic version, in fact, the skirt can be a palm above or below the knee, some designers even offer a maxi version for a pencil skirt. That is, there are three main dimensions: mini, midi and maxi (long).

In order to choose the right option for yourself, you need to follow a few simple rules. It is very important what fabric the skirt is made of, the better the quality of the material, the longer it will last, the thing will look better.

Then you need to decide for what purpose you buy it: work, walks, holidays, dates.

Choosing the best option for your figure

An outlet tunic will help make the look lighter and more airy. It can also be complemented with a blouse or a V-neck sweater, this will also make your silhouette visually slimmer.

  • Medium length (midi). Universal for any figure. The usual size is to the knee, a little lower or a little higher.


  • Short (mini). If you want to appear taller and slimmer - your version of the classic version is a palm above the knee + high-heeled shoes. This model looks especially good on short girls. By the way, they will not fit the length to the middle of the calf and below - this will visually reduce growth.


  • Low Waist Pencil Skirt will suit you if the waist is not very pronounced. It can be complemented with a button-down shirt (it needs to be tucked in) or a jumper tied with a belt at the waist.

  • Model with a high waist relevant if you have a figure of a "boyish" type (the hips are quite narrow, and the shoulders are slightly wider). It will make the contours of your figure smoother.

  • Peplum style will give your bow softness, femininity, romance. The peplum can be in the form of a simple piece of fabric, light voluminous ruffles, wings on the sides, bows, flounces. Perfectly corrects the figure making it visually more proportional. Suitable for women (girl) with narrow or wide hips. If you need to hide a small tummy, a skirt with a high waist of a strict silhouette will help you out.

  • For fat girls. Monochromatic variants of dark tones (dark blue, gray, brown) are more suitable. However, if you like to experiment with color, then try the images shown in the photo.


What shoes fit

The selection of shoes should be determined by the scope of your outfit, its style direction. For a classic: choose pumps, stiletto sandals, ankle boots. Love comfort - flat shoes (ballet shoes, slip-ons (slippers), sneakers, sneakers, sneakers, topsiders, moccasins) or with a small heel (loafers, monks, oxfords, brogues).

For autumn, winter, high boots, tractor-soled boots, timberlands (brutal look) are relevant.

Therefore, it is worth making the main emphasis on it, and with the rest of the things just complement the overall picture.

To the office

When creating a business bow, use a strictly cut pencil skirt without unnecessary details. The fabric should be of very high quality, keep its shape well throughout the working day, so choose natural fabrics with elastane.

I will show you how to wear a pencil skirt with a SHIRT, with silk TOPs, with knit T-shirts and knitted SWEATERS.

Yes, yes, even with a sweater you can create a very feminine and even sophisticated look with a pencil skirt.

After all, agree everyone has a closet full of clothes, and when you take out a pencil skirt from it, out of habit you grab a blouse (this or that).

But THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER OPTIONS - and they're all hiding in your closet - and they're all begging for a pencil skirt... but we don't even know how beautiful and stylish it will be if you combine them with a pencil skirt - FRIEND seemingly different things thanks to a belt, scarf or jewelry.

So let's get started….

PENCIL SKIRT - for slender and full.

First of all, please note that straight-cut skirts are not only for slender girls with a chiseled figure.

Women of significant merit they can also safely start such a pencil skirt in their everyday wardrobe. It can be a stretch knit model with a strong fit. Or a skirt made of dense, slightly stretchy material.

And even with a small tummy, you can tuck your top, tunic, shirt or blouse into a pencil skirt (but, provided that the fabric of the skirt is dense enough and the crumpled top of your set of clothes does not show through it) ...

You will find a lot of beautiful images with skirts for girls with a full figure in my special article. "Skirts FOR obese women (88 photos of fashionable styles)."

And fat girls should not be shy to create MULTILAYER combinations of shirts and sweaters - this does not add volume to you, but rather drapes the waist area and makes your protruding tummy invisible.

PENCIL SKIRT

– freedom of choice of fabric and decorative cut.

Now fashion allows you to use ANY FABRIC VOICE for sewing a pencil skirt. It can be lace (black skirt photo below)… it can be finely pleated fabric (purple pencil skirt)… or even quilted fabric (high-waisted skirt photo below).

Also, designers often complicate the pencil skirt additional elements of cut... it can be a peplum, frill, tucks, complex pleats-patches (leather skirt in the photo below) or wide bows (black skirt below).

Now let's on real photo examples, let's look at what you can wear with a variety of pencil skirts (blue, yellow, beige, leopard, checkered, shiny, with flowers and stripes)

What to wear with a BEIGE PENCIL SKIRT.

Delicate pastel image of purity will create a BEIGE pencil skirt in your wardrobe if you also choose the upper part of the set in light fresh colors. Can pick up tone on tone with a wide sweater skirt. It is customary to tuck the front of the sweater behind the front of the skirt (left photo below).

A beautiful image will create a beige pencil skirt with a soft pastel cardigan and shirt in thin delicate stripes. Jewelry will give this image feminine sophistication (right photo below).

Suitable for a beige skirt all shades of cocoa, milk chocolate, cappuccino foam color, creamy color. Colors are better to choose muted, as if powdered.

Beige looks good leather pencil skirt. Despite the density of the fabric and the apparent solidity, such a skirt is equally appropriate in a set of SWEATER + SCARF (left photo below) ... and with a translucent lace top (right photo). That is, a leather skirt can be worn both in summer with tops and in winter with large-knit sweaters with a relief pattern.

What to wear with a YELLOW pencil skirt.

Yellow first goes well with BLACK(a simple fitted top, or decorated with a peplum-frill along the bottom edge, a black shirt or tunic).
Bold yellow pencil skirt wear with a BLUE top, moreover, the darker the shade of blue, the nobler such a set of clothes will look (left photo below).

Looks good with yellow skirt denim shades of blue(for example, a denim jacket or jacket). Blue color can be generously diluted with white- for example, wear with a white top and jacket and let in blue color elements only on a small neckerchief.

A yellow pencil skirt can be worn with blue and light turquoise. It looks good with simple men's cut shirts. The shirt can be tucked under a skirt or tied in a knot.

yellow pencil skirt match with leopard print- it can be just a black T-shirt and leopard jewelry. Or a leo-stained blouse. Or a scarf.

And below are the photos that I really like - because there is my favorite combination of shapes SLIM skirt and WIDE tunic top.

We see that a wide tunic needs to be THREADED into a pencil skirt with its FRONT SIDE. And the back side of the tunic in length should be in harmony with the length of the skirt - at best, no longer than the bottom line of the buttocks.

You can completely tuck the tunic into the skirt (as in the photo below).

And by the way, about DECOLTE it is important to say that the pencil skirt really DOES NOT LIKE deep necklines on the chest (it immediately looks vulgar). If your hips are covered, then the neckline is already too much. But if you really want a deep neckline that exposes the flesh, then let it be BACK (as in the left photo below).

WHERE TO WEAR A BLUE pencil skirt.

Blue color goes well with beige ... with shades brown. It is good to wear blue under cold shades of light pink and lemon yellow. emerald green or light turquoise also goes well with a blue pencil skirt.

Teamed with a white top, a blue pencil skirt creates a fresh and dressy look. And blue with black is already a heavier combination (but very popular because of its practicality and non-staining). Beautiful office style - with a business skirt in a rich, restrained color. You will find even more options for skirt sets for the office in my article. "Office SKIRTS - 92 photos of business style."

HOW TO WEAR A PRINT PENCIL SKIRT.

Drawing (print) on a pencil skirt is always beautiful. Such a colored skirt becomes the central spot of the whole composition - therefore, paired with a multi-colored skirt, you need SOLID top ONLY(that is, one color) - any color that is present in the print on the skirt.

Here in the photo below we see a black knitted tunic paired with a pencil skirt, on which black is present.
Pale colors on a pencil skirt require the same calm muted color. for a blouse or shirt.

Juicy contrasting colors on a pencil skirt should be supported by the same BRIGHT colors on the top part of the outfit (as we see in the example with a pencil skirt with red flowers).

LEOPARD PRINT on pencil skirt.

Classic leopard print(brown-beige warm shades like on the skin of a leopard) require either black or white. Although, with the saturation of colors of leo-specks, a red top is acceptable.

Leopard print on the skirt can be done in a different color palette. And then the selection of the color of clothing depends on the shade of the leopard color.

SCOTTY CHECK and pencil skirt.

Scottish plaid skirt requires or shirts, or a simple cut top(that is, without ruffles and flounces). The cubic shape of the cells, requires the same straight lines in the cut top or blouse. The cut of the men's shirt fits perfectly, as well as straight tunics with square sleeves without frills and tucks and soft folds (as we see in the examples in the photo below).

And the Scottish cage may not be on the pencil skirt itself, but on the shirt that we tucked into the skirt or tied it with a knot at the waist line. With a plaid shirt, you can wear ANY pencil skirts - both simple and glamorous (in sequins or reasonable lace).

Below I found a photo with a good example of how a CHARMING RIBBON TIE around the collar of a shirt adds sophistication to the whole look.

And since we have already started the topic of shiny skirts, let's see how they can be combined with certain wardrobe details to create a daytime, evening or work-office look.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH

sparkly sequined pencil skirt.

To get started, here are two examples of how elegantly and casually you can introduce a sparkling pencil skirt into everyday wardrobe. With a simple black top, such a skirt would be lost - but with the addition of a bow-shaped leather belt, everything balances out.

Likewise, a simple black-and-white checkered shirt gives a sparkly look just the right amount of casual calm, and jewelry in the open collar of the shirt adds sophistication to a deliberately simple top…and a thin strap adds austerity and detracts from the sequins.

For comparison, here's an example of how the same black sparkly pencil skirt can be used FIRST in a casual set with a leather jacket and a knitted T-shirt, AND THEN in an evening dress for going out.

We will go into more detail on sparkly skirts and how they can be worn in one of my next articles, and then the link will work here.

WHERE TO WEAR A BLACK AND WHITE pencil skirt.

Black + white is a classic. The pencil skirt is also a classic. We usually use a black skirt and a white blouse. But the same black and white image can be created in a more interesting way.

In the photo below we see how a striped pencil skirt goes well with a white blouse embellished with black and white trim.
And black and white stripes will look good on the top of the clothing - and a pencil skirt can be plain.

In the photo above we see that a black and white skirt in a WHITE top creates a fresh look. And in the photo below we see that the skirt of the same colors but with a BLACK top creates an already strict business silhouette. You will find many more examples of office style with skirts in the article. "Office SKIRTS - 92 photos of business style."

The print on the skirt can be GEOMETRIC (squares, stripes, triangles)… or the print can be loose (eg floral). And also in the photo above, we see that such sets can be worn with the addition of bright accents - red lipstick and blue shoes, a bright colored clutch bag.

Looks good skirt in black and white polka dots. This skirt can be worn with white and black items in your wardrobe. But it will be beautiful if you add a BRIGHT AND juicy hue to this composition. It can be a handbag, a bright wide belt, or a coat.

In the example of the lower photos, we see the same principle where a black and white ribbed or rhombus skirt looks good both with a monochrome black shirt and with bright things from your wardrobe (for example, with a red jacket).

An example of an office black and white style can be found in the article Office SKIRTS - 92 business style photos.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH

LACE pencil skirt.

This season, lace stubbornly holds a leading position. Lace fabric has already ceased to be used only in the decoration of festive dresses. Now lace is everyday wear for walking and office. Even the strictest dress code will not object to lace if it is used when sewing a business pencil skirt.

In the photo below, we see that a lace pencil skirt can be worn with a thin knitted jumper made of angora or cotton.

You can also refuel in such a lace pencil skirt tunic with a straight wide cut.

Can also be worn over a pencil skirt wear a layered top with a shirt and a thin sweater- and leave all layers in a loose overlap on the skirt.

Even jerseys and tops straight wide cut can be safely worn not only with sweatpants but also with a lace straight skirt.

And of course delicate silk fabrics make friends with lace patterns on a pencil skirt. It can be a blouson with long sleeves made of transparent fabric. Or a top that reveals the shoulders as much as possible, made of shiny silk with overflows.

Lace can COVER THE WHOLE SKIRT. Or lace can be present on a regular pencil skirt as an interesting design element of the cut.

With wide knitted sweater voluminous cut, such a lace pencil skirt is also appropriate and looks good. Volume the sweater can be the same color as the skirt or be lighter than it. Most importantly, it should not be darker. That combination of a light skirt with lace and a dark sweater would have looked hard. But black lace and a light voluminous sweater are already a more balanced set of clothes.

Also, lace together with a pencil skirt looks even if it is not present on the skirt, but on a top or tunic tucked into a skirt.

PENCIL SKIRT how to wear WITH A TOP.

Straight fit pencil skirt requires a straight cut top. This is the most profitable option.

But flounces, peplums, ruffles and draperies ALSO look absolutely great with the straight strictness of the skirt. They immediately soften the image, thin the silhouette and make the set of clothes more elegant and less strict and office.

Soft folds of chiffon fabrics and warm reflections of silky gloss look beautiful.

Pencil skirt

with cotton jersey.

Or the top can be the simplest jersey tank top (skinny or loose). In all cases, the T-shirt is tucked into the skirt. The fitted one tucks in perfectly flat... and the wide t-shirt tucks into the slouchy skirt.

Pencil skirt WITH BLOUSE and SHIRT.

Well, it's quite a classic. A blouse under a pencil skirt can be short-sleeved or not at all. It can have ruffles, tucks, bows and flounces. And in this case, jewelry should be absent or be the simplest in design.

Or a blouse can be of the simplest cut. Then jewelry should complement this simplicity, and this is exactly the case when you can add the power of its design - large pendants, powerful necklaces.

Next to the blouses, SHIRTS are in line for the pencil skirt. With a shirt, you can wear absolutely any pencil skirt (and not just denim, as most people think). Even with a lace skirt, you can safely wear a shirt (see photo below with a yellow skirt).

Even with a skirt in bright colors you can wear a simple shirt (the main thing is that it be plain and of the color that is present in the print on the skirt).

And here, large jewelry will add sophistication to your look and give the shirt cut a kind of blouse decor.

The shirt can be tucked into a skirt. And you can tie a knot at the waist.


HIGH WAIST pencil skirt

- how and with what to wear.

Blouses and shirts are just the kind of clothes that require a pencil skirt with a HIGH WAISTLINE - tops, sweaters and more will not work here. Such high skirts fit right under the bust - revealing only the top of the blouse. The decoration may be absent or be short, that is, placed at the very throat and not hang down.

Pencil skirt with SWEATER or JUMPER.

Examples of how to wear pencil skirt with sweater you have already seen in the photos above. But below are photo examples where a pencil skirt is complete with a wide voluminous jumper made of thin knitwear. As you can see it can put on a lap on a skirt and gird with a strap, or you can tuck into a pencil skirt with a slight slouch.

But examples where a pencil skirt with a top are complemented fine wool cardigan and here you need a BELT - this is a prerequisite, because the straight silhouette of a pencil skirt requires a clearly defined waist.

Pencil skirt with coat.

About what to wear a coat with, I wrote a whole article. And here we see examples of how a classic fitted coat looks good with a tight pencil skirt. Having picked up a successful color combination of all elements of the wardrobe, you can safely wear such a coat wide open.

That's all the examples of style with a pencil skirt for today. I hope now you can go through your wardrobe again and try on all the tops, sweater, shirts and wide tunics with your pencil skirt - play with jewelry and belts, drape the weak points of the composition with silk scarves and find GREAT OPTIONS for a fresh look for tomorrow.

Good luck with your stylish decisions.
