The pencil skirt: 5 looks to pair it with elegance and a dash of originality
To face the new 2023 season, a pencil skirt is a must. Queen among trends, it turns a versatile style ally for the return to the office; however, the risk is to pair it in a repetitive and already seen way. And considering that we are only on the starting blocks, a touch of originality is a must: how to match the pencil skirt without falling into the banal?

With the micro-cardigan
The male counterpart of the pencil skirt is the cardigan. King of the knitwear department, it is set to become the replacement for the oversized sweater: in its most summery guise, the short, cropped one, it is ideal for enlivening the look.
And it goes perfectly with the classic gray high-waisted pencil skirt, a desk staple: just wear it with a bra and exposed shoulders to give the ensemble a charge of sensuality.

With the sleeveless top
Power the power skirt. But how to wear it with Girlboss attitude without any excesses whatsoever? The 12 heel stays in the shoe rack, in favor of refined kitten heels. And on top it accommodates a minimalist, butter-colored sleeveless top, long and slouchy with a soft front, a basic but less token piece than the classic blouse. The detail is everything: the chain anklet, the document clutch worn like an It Bag, the cult mask glasses.

With the denim jacket
Playing with contrasts to make interesting even what at first glance is not. A pencil skirt with an inconspicuous color can be enhanced with a jacket that is different from the usual blazer: a denim jacket that looks vintage (or really is). The result: a trendy "broken" suit that rejuvenates, thanks in part to the pairing with lace-up sandals.

With the knit polo shirt
The knit polo shirt is also holding its own. And it is proposed as the most modern substitute for the men's shirt. Perfect with the traditional pencil skirt: the play of dark tones mixing blue and black is a winner. And the slit turns it into the ultimate after-work must-have.

With a colorful shirt
Looking for a traditional pencil skirt look, but with a different twist? The key is to go for a classic top, but in a striking, bright color. Pink pink, frog green and cyan blue-the best the season has to offer.
