Pencil skirts are great—when they’re done right. And
admittedly, the biggest challenge is finding one that flatters your
body. That’s where we come in. Whether you’re teeny tiny or shaped like
Jessica Rabbit, here’s the best style for you to try.
If You’re Petite...Try a High-Waist Pencil Skirt
Chances are if you’re under five-foot-five, you shy away from
anything knee- or calf-length for fear of looking shorter, but a
high-waist number actually has the opposite effect. Your waistline will
look like it starts higher than it really does, which adds length to
your lower body and makes you look taller.
If You’re Tall...Try a Pencil Midi Skirt
Opt for a pencil midi skirt if you want your legs to look even more
miles-long. It fits slim through the hips, but instead of cutting you
off at the knees, it elongates everything down to the mid-calf. Psst…this style looks amazing with a pair of on-trend kitten heels.
If You’re an Hourglass...Try a Printed Pencil Skirt
If You’re Boyish...Try a Wrapped Pencil Skirt

For those of us who don’t have a va-va-voom waist-to-hip ratio, a
wrap skirt should be your go-to. This style works because it defines
your middle and uses an asymmetrical hem to create the illusion of
having curves in all the right places.
