Choosing the right fabric for your pencil skirt makes all the difference to whether you are comfortable in your pencil skirt or not. In this article I will go through my take on the various fabrics and when to use what. The goal of this article is to give you the knowledge to make an informed decision the next time you are in a shop choosing a pencil skirt.
Classic choices for a polished look
Wool pencil skirt
This medium weight fabric drapes nicely creating crisp lines and a polished silhouette which is excellent for work or formal occasions.
Tweed pencil skirt
This is a more textured fabric that adds some visual interest to the pencil skirt whilst still maintaining a structured look. Definitely ideal for cooler weather.
Comfort and style combined
Satin pencil skirt
This pencil skirt is luxurious and comfortable. It screams glamor. I find satin a perfect material if you want to use your pencil skirt for a night out or add a bit of elegance to your outfit.
Knit pencil skirt
This is all about casual comfort. This material I find suited for weekend wear or running errands in style.
Stretch pencil skirt
A stretch pencil skirt is all about enjoying the comfort of movement without compromising style.
Warm weather staples
Cotton pencil skirt
Cotton is breathable and light fabric that is ideal for wearing in summer or spring.
Beyond the basics
Suede pencil skirt
This is more for a luxurious and sophisticated look. The advantage of suede is that it gives the same look and feel as leather but without the hefty price tag. I love wearing this for a night out.
Velvet pencil skirt
This is another luxurious and eye-catching fabric ideal for special occasions or making a statement piece. My go to colors are red, green and black for a velvet pencil skirt.
Sequin pencil skirt
This is another fabric that adds some glamor and sparkle to your outfit. Definitely a nice fabric to choose for a night out or special occasion.
