How to Style a Pencil Skirt
Bottom
A pencil skirt anchors your outfit with clean lines that ask for balance, not matchy-matchy precision. The five pairings here—cardigan, white sneakers, sunglasses, structured tote, and flannel shirt—each bring contrast or finish without competing, whether you want polish (the cardigan and tote) or deliberate ease (sneakers and flannel). Put any of these together and the outfit reads as intentional, not accidental.
