Get Out Your Pencils

   

Before you thank me for introducing you to some if the coolest pencil skirts of the season, let us take a step back to theb1940's, where Christian Dior designed the revolutionary 'H' skirt for the up and coming business woman.

As times have drastically changed we no longer see the pencil skirt restricted to the office in a black polyester cotton blend, the style has been freed into the creative world of street style.

With the Spring/Summer trend in no shortage of colours, prints and fabrics there is a little something for everyone one every occasion. 

In my selection above I've incorporated seasonal and reoccurring trends, so your new pencil skirt can become an investment instead of a one night stand. 

1. Raquel Allegra, handmade cotton blend. 

2. Topshop, Pow Boom Print.

3. Stella McCartney, floral polyester with metallic weave.

4. The Row Norick, 100% leather (lamb) in navy.

5. Jonathan Saunders Shannon, 100% wool and fully lined. 

A Boyfriend kind of Saturday

And by that I mean your boyfriend jeans of course! Sleek that hair into a clean bun, apply a dark shade of red to your lip and grab your favorite black bag. (Think either something along the lines of Chanel lambskin or large Longchamp tote.)  Leave your real man at home and go treat yourself to a morning of retail therapy and lunch with your favorite girls. Have a little you time this weekend! 

Boyfriend jeans are a great option compared to your usually skinny - they're way more comfy and look 100 times cooler when styled right.
Stylist tip: Remember to incorporate elements of structure into your assemble featuring boyfriend jeans, so you yourself avoid looking like a man. Either add a structured shirt, or in the example above a extremely structured shoe and hair style. That way you're still feeling mega comfortable and looking ultra chic, win win!
