This week in Hit List: from River Island to Rihanna in Miu Miu, prim up and pimp out in the sophisticated and forever sexy pencil skirt.
ASOS Snakeskin Silver Pencil Skirt
We’re right out the gates in a disco-diva pencil skirt. It’s ultra shiny, and has a snake skin effect print. Pull on tight, pair with some big earrings and be the most sophisticated gal strolling the club row.
Available for £95 from Asos.com
Zara Black Ruffle Pencil Skirt
Zara loves giving a little flare. The chic ruffle cascading down the side of this black pencil skirt offers a flirty, yet always demure touch.
Available for £29.99 from Zara.com
Karen Millen Jersey and Black Leather Skirt
We usually think of Karen Millen as sweet, professional and safe, but this perfectly structured, faux leather and black jersey skirt brings the daredevil out of even the most traditional of Millen-ites.
Available for £99 from Houseoffraser.co.uk
Topshop Pale Pink Vinyl Pencil Skirt
We’re tearing down the shelves in search of this pale pink ray of shine from Topshop. It fits like a glove, gives off a rather lush sheen but keeps in sweet in sugary babe pink.
Available for £38 from Topshop.com
River Island Black Colour Block Pencil Skirt
Colour-blocking is one of the more fun trends of the season, and River Island perfectly executes the trend with a pencil skirt that fits well, plays on texture and has a bit of funk — without looking too fast and furious.
Available for £25 from Riverisland.com
Moschino Cheap & Chic Printed Crepe Pencil Skirt
Monochrome is all well and good, but black-and-white stripes can go from bold to old quite quickly. That’s why this flirty floral from Moschino Cheap & Chic keeps tough with the trend, but adds some needed pattern diversion.
Available for £200 from Net-a-porter.com
French Connection Water Flower Pencil Skirt
Sometimes rough textures and wild primary colours are just… too much. French Connection has its share of fun and fabulous pencil skirts, but we’re surprisingly smitten by this sweet, delicate and very chic water floral print.
Available for £69 from Frenchconnection.com
