Pencil Skirts for Women

Pencil Skirts

It has been over 60 years since French fashion designer Christian Dior introduced the world to his legendary H-line – the straight and narrow silhouette. It was impossible to imagine this fashion concept without pencil skirts in particular, which are still a charming classic in feminine fashion today. Elegant and figure-hugging cult skirts for self-confident and sensual women.

The pencil skirt – a skirt with cult status

There are not many garments where the exact cut determines the name of the piece as it does in the case of the pencil skirt. A straight cut and the compelling emphasis on the female figure characterize pencil skirts. Length is vital: the hem of the pencil skirt ideally ends exactly at the knee or just above. Given the strict requirements for this classic skirt, it's no wonder that this chic piece revolutionized office fashion. The characteristic trademark of pencil skirts is their walking slit at the back hem. Originally a practical feature for freedom of movement and comfort, this detail is now considered an attractive highlight – especially when the pencil skirt is set off with classy hosiery and high-heeled shoes. In the Breuninger online shop you will find high-quality skirts for women made by renowned designers in excellent brand quality.

Pencil skirts – more than business wear
The signature muted colors of pencil skirts – usually black, various shades of gray or a subtle shade of blue – have remained. What is new is the imaginative versatility of the skirt fashion that is still current today. Pencil skirts are classically worn with a matching blazer, creating a cohesive suit. But the variations with playful blouses or a well-cut twin set also make the pencil skirt the ideal companion for all business and social occasions. Even in private settings, smart women today impress with a 1940s Dior-style skirt as a feminine alternative to jeans.

Pencil skirts for the perfect business look

Selected fabrics and a high percentage of new wool or a soft polyester mix with stretch not only make the pieces extremely comfortable to wear, but also imbue each pencil skirt with a delicate hint of luxury. The correct care of these high-quality models with stretch fabric is very important. With gentle hand or machine washing using appropriate care products and gentle air drying, these exceptional skirts retain their excellent quality.
