This is a skirt you can develop a proper crush on
I would do a kneeslide across the room, if that were a physical possibility in this outfit. It’s not, but that’s how happy I am about the return of the pencil skirt. I have grown very fond of the floaty midi skirts I’ve spent the last few years wearing both on these pages and off. They are marvellous, those skirts. Comfortable in every season, appropriate for any scenario. They behave themselves, never show you up, never let you down. They have done me proud. So I feel kind of bad admitting this, but if I’m being brutally honest, I don’t think it was ever true love.
A pencil skirt, though. It’s just… different. This is a skirt you can develop a proper crush on. This is a skirt you resist buying the first time you see it in a shop window, find yourself thinking about and then, before you know it, stalking online. A pencil skirt can raise eyebrows, it can make you miss your train. A good pencil skirt is just the right amount of wrong.
