Dubbed as the working uniform, we're used to seeing pencil skirts shine in the office. But as Milan Fashion Week dictates, the popular skirt silhouette is back on trend. They're reinvented with a few tweaks that make them swing to the right direction in the modern sartorial world. Here are seven ways you can wear pencil skirts this 2017:
Embroidered
Patch up the straight cut with some flora and fauna embroidery guaranteed to add some whimsy and texture to your skirt.

Layered
Just in time for the cold weather, layer your pencil skirts over a dress or another skirt. The trick here is to make your layering intentional and more significant in the overall look to get the full effect.
