This year’s black pencil skirt
The French capsule wardrobe has been in the planning stage for a while now. There were some items which have been left out because they are not currently a priority for Workings to make, for example a trench coat, or a black leather jacket. We wanted to limit the number of items, but the pencil skirt is an obvious choice to include and definitely makes the top seven items which we want to include. It is so simple, sexy and chic while at the same time extremely sophisticate and grown up.
Our black, on the knee, pencil skirt is cut in a spotted jersey fabric.
It’s machine washable, and easy to wear.
It has a hand finished hem and patch pocket detail.
The black pencil skirt should be a perennial item in your wardrobe. If not black, then a classic weave like houndstooth, or a plain camel colour or a pencil skirt in a neutral colour such as bronze silk, would be great. The pencil skirt’s superpower is its ability to blend seamlessly into many different outfit combinations. Like the great friend who you can invite anywhere and sit next to anyone, the black pencil skirt is a true, reliable piece of clothing friend.
