Traditional pencil cut skirts are back and not just for the office. You can definitely wear a pencil skirt outside the workplace, casually and comfortably. First thing is, look for a light-colored pencil skirt, or something laced. Avoid black or dark-colored ones because they´d look too office-appropriate. Second, wear it like you´re going to have fun!
Pencil Skirt with a Sleeveless White Tee
It´s time to steal yet another of your boyfriend´s looks, white tee with cut-off sleeves. Team it with a stretchy knit pencil skirt such as this mint green that I´m loving, casually tuck the front hem of your tee, and add a pair of nude, peep-toe boots.
Pencil Skirt with a Tank Top
For busy days, opt for a versatile and comfy piece to bring you from morning to evening without compromising your style. Choose a stretchy lavender pencil skirt to wear with a complementary tank top; preferably in light pink or peach, colors that are within the same family. Go for shoes that match your top.

They say that pear shaped women should steer away from pencil skirt as this would emphasize their lower part. I say steering away from this traditional cut isn´t the solution because there´s one more trick you can do if you really want to embrace a pencil skirt – wear it with a roomy top or tops with padded shoulders. This will give your figure some balance.

Denim is a summer essential but if you´re going to team a denim shirt with a laced pencil skirt, make sure its a lightweight denim so when you tuck it in, it wouldn´t look bulky around your waist. If you don´t have a denim shirt, chambray shirts are perfect alternative. You may find it more comfy if you roll the sleeves up.
