Christian Dior introduced the first pencil skirt in the 1940s. Sophisticated and trendy, the classic pencil skirt has evolved into a true staple in almost every girl’s closet today. Infinite ways to wear, and you can find them in any color length and texture.

Pair them with comfy sweaters or cardigans to get a very casual, but chic look. Try wearing a girly or boyfriend style blouse if you are looking for a dressier vibe. Have an interview or looking for a new way to spunk up your wardrobe for work? Grab your favorite blazer and a fun printed pencil skirt and you will be set.

The best thing about pencil skirts is they are extremely versatile, and they are great for any occasion.  Whether it is a day at work, or  just a night out with friends, this is a piece you can transform any day of the week.

Bring the runway to your closet and try some of the styles from the Spring 2012 Fashion week for different ways to wear them this season. Classic black to exotic prints, these skirts were all over the runway this spring.
