A pencil skirt will do the job without making you look tarty. So there's no need to wear skin tight clothes or expose your skin to look hot. The style will cover your pats but at the same time follow the contours of your womanly figure. So if you have butt and hips, pencil skirts will definitely enhance them ;-)

Versatility is one of the things about pencil skirts that really makes you want to love them. They can be paired with almost all kinds of tops, sweaters and shoes (yes, even boots)!

fashion tip Note: I highly recommend you to secure at least one black pencil skirt. Tailored and preferably at knee-length. But if you're planning on wearing it to parties then by all means, go shorter ;-) Just make sure it doesn't get any shorter than the tip of your middle fingers when standing up straight with your arms hanging from each side.

And then there's the trendy denim pencil skirt which goes great with most of your spring and summer sweaters, tops and blouses. If you choose the dark blue wash you'll discover that it almost work as a black skirt (gives you all the pros) but looks more casual.

Golden apple Need something appropriate for office work without drawing too much attention?

Try other dark, neutral colors such as dark navy blue, mid-grey and dark brown, or dark khaki.

Golden apple For warmer months and for a fresh spring look

Go for sweet and light colors like white, light pink, cream/beige or light blue. I have one in white with light blue vertical stripes. It's one of my favorite skirts :-)

Golden apple Add some visual interest (or if you're just feeling frisky)

Opt for prints like for example florals, polkadots, stripes, leopard.

Golden apple Need something a little eye catching for a party event?

Then why don't you try a pencil skirt with shine, or details such as zippers, tiers or sequins?

Golden apple For extra sexiness

Wear a high waist pencil skirt! Looks great for work and other semi-formal occasions. And if you choose the denim high waist it'll also look chic as a part of a casual attire.

Golden apple Secure the basics.

That means you should secure a skirt that is flexible to wear with almost anything -- naturally, a pencil skirt in solid color like black will do.

Golden apple Be careful with light colors and details.

Because they (along with the tapered hem) will really, really highlight your hips, butt and thighs.
