Pencil skirts 2019: fashion trends

The pencil skirt, beloved by many fashionistas, will remain a favorite in the coming 2019. The efforts of designers who managed to open up new possibilities for the well-known style help her maintain her status as everyone’s favorite. So, what trends can be seen in the design and cut of pencil skirts in 2019?

What fabrics are on trend?

In addition to changes in the color scheme, enriched with new colors, innovations affected materials. The bold discoveries of recent years are being supplemented with new ones.

Leather

A narrow black leather skirt has long established its position as a chic item. But leather is also available in other colors:

• brown: will be especially attractive after a hot summer, highlighting tanned skin paired with a white T-shirt and bright shoes;
• burgundy: in combination with a gray or beige top it will help you look moderately catchy;
• emerald green: quite dark, but brighter than black, the skirt will look impressive with another shade of green, orange and even red.

Other colors are not excluded.

Guipure

A patterned lace skirt will become the basis of a formal set, and can enrich your everyday wardrobe. And not only on warm days - we combine guipure of different densities with thin stockings and thick leggings, sandals consisting of only straps and massive ankle boots, a light jacket and a fur coat.

A black skirt can be combined with a top of any color, creating looks for all occasions. A laconic white blouse will help you stay within strict limits, a luxurious golden bodice will help you create a luxurious evening dress, and the combination of black and red will forever be beyond competition!

Important! The young fashionista has no reason to doubt the appropriateness of such an outfit. An adult lady should be sure that a guipure pencil skirt suits her face and the place.

Tweed

A tweed skirt is indispensable in the cold season: high-quality wool will keep you from freezing, while at the same time allowing you to remain stylish. The strict silhouette does not interfere with being feminine, softly outlining the figure.

A tight-fitting top is ideal, which can be:

• fitted shirt (blouse);
• turtleneck;
• sweater;
• knitted vest.

Knitwear

The knitted pencil skirt is available in different colors, plain and multi-colored. This allows you to find your own option for a lady of any age and with different external characteristics. The ensemble created will depend not only on the color of the skirt, but also on the choice of top. A modest gray jumper will emphasize the severity of the discreet color of the skirt and neutralize the bright print.

Important! Be careful with stripes on a knitted skirt: their ability to fill out and slim is well known, and without taking into account the characteristics of your figure, you can add unnecessary fullness to yourself. And vice versa!

Denim

Denim clothing rightfully enjoys the status of being universal and practical. This also applies to a skirt, which does not prevent it from looking attractive on different body types. To pair with a denim “pencil” you need to have a denim shirt or jacket, several T-shirts, high-heeled shoes and sneakers. A coarse knit sweater and a leather jacket will also work.

In addition to those listed, other materials are also possible:

• velvet;
• velveteen;
• suede leather;
• atlas;
• satin;
• silk.

Only chiffon is not suitable: it crumbles when cut and requires lining.

What is the fashionable length?

Modern fashion is tolerant of the expression of independence, and there are no strict restrictions on the length of the skirt. Since hiding long, slender legs under the hem of a floor-length skirt all the time is as unforgivable as showing off your flaws, the choice ultimately remains a personal matter. Length can vary from mini to maxi.

But still, most fashion houses present models on the catwalk wearing medium-length “pencils” - plain and printed, simple and decorated.

The average length may not interfere with showing off beautiful knees if you add a slit to the style. It might not be suitable for an office, but it would be fine for a less formal setting.

Advice! Classic stilettos will make your legs look longer. Tight-fitting boots with heels give a similar effect.

Stylish decoration

In addition to an unprecedented variety of fabrics, variants of the classic model have increased thanks to the opened opportunity to decorate the skirt in all possible ways.

Embroidery

Having decorated the most unexpected items of clothing (from jeans to leather jackets), embroidery has reached skirts. Decorated with patterns made by hand and machine, the pencil skirt has lost its modesty. In return, she gained the opportunity to become a real masterpiece of fashion.

Now birds of paradise and bright butterflies can flutter along the hem, exotic flowers can bloom and climbing plants can sprout. Fashion houses can delight you with such beauty, or you can become your own craftswoman.

Decorative buttons

Woolen, knitted, denim skirts can be decorated with buttons. Execution options:

• the skirt is fastened from top to bottom with shiny metal buttons;
• Rows of several large buttons (matching the fabric or contrasting ones) are sewn along the darts;
• catchy buttons adorn the pockets and belt.

Fringe

When decorating the hem, it can be short or significantly add length to the product. You can also trim a small peplum with fringe, which adds fluffiness to the tight-fitting silhouette. The original one will be a strip located in a circle in the middle of the hem. Finally, it is possible to arrange rows of fringe in a cascade from bottom to top in the manner of a Christmas tree.

Floral print

Bright fabric with floral colors - knitted, jacquard or satin - is good on its own, without additional decorations.

Modern fashion allows for the most daring combinations of colors for the top and bottom, but colorful skirts with a plain bodice or T-shirt or with an applique from the skirt material look best.

In the box

An unconditional classic that allows you to be fashionable without violating the canons of previous times. The best models are made from tweed and jersey..

Striped

Black and white or multi-colored, zebra pattern or naval suit, transverse or longitudinal - the stripe will enliven the whole ensemble! A at the same time, it will correct the features of the build, lengthening or adding width to the lower part of the figure.
