The Pencil Skirt
HOW TO WEAR IT:
Think slink: The perfect fit follows the curves of the body and sits a little low on the waist.
The perfect length: At the knee or up to two inches below; never above.
Best fabric bet: Lightweight, tropical wool that creates a lean body-hugging line, yet still has some give to it.
Make it matte: Avoid shiny fabrics.
Make it black: Jet-black, not blue-black or brown-black.
Keep it unadorned: No pockets, no belt loops, no front pleats, just an invisible zipper in the back.
Stretch your investment: Buy it as part of a suit.
