A black pencil skirt is a classic staple. But it’s usually thought of as piece of fashion reserved for the workplace and meetings. But add a drape and a slit to the mix and you have a skirt that works from the office to date to night to even vacation! I fell in love with the breezy style of this pencil skirt so I wanted to bring you some inspo on ways to wear a pencil skirt for different occasions. If the slit is a little too high for you, I rounded up some other options below.

If you haven’t already, you can watch the full video on these 5 ways to wear a pencil skirt skirt over on my IGTV channel.
