History of the Pencil Skirt
The slim, tubular pencil skirt became a popular skirt silhouette in the 1950s. It placed great emphasis on the narrowness of the waist, with the idea behind it to provide women with an hourglass figure. During the 1970s and 80s the black pencil skirt exuded a look of below-the-waist glamour, with overtones from the French Resistance and Beatnik cool. During the 21st century the pencil skirt has become a status symbol for the chic and sexy woman. Worn by the celebrity elite, sophisticated business women and anonymous fashionistas alike, the pencil skirt is a style that will make any women look refined and classy.
