The 17:10 pencil skirt for working-girl style
Our black pencil skirt is perfect for the modern working girl. The high-waisted pencil skirt combined with a pretty satin blouse in a solid color (black or white for the office) will structure the silhouette. For a more assertive femininity, we recommend wearing leather shoes with heels to underline your desire for elegance and personality. The pencil skirt is one of the skirts you should definitely put at the top of your wardrobe list!
The 17:10 pencil skirt for casual style
Our pencil skirt's sleek design lets you choose from casual, chic and relaxed styles. We suggest you give free rein to your desires by wearing a midnight blue, sky blue or fir green Meribel wool sweater, our Dinan turtleneck sweater or a colored 17:10 t-shirt, topped with a black leather jacket. For overall harmony, pair your skirt with a pair of sneakers. Pencil skirts really are the perfect design for a weekend in the country or a relaxed evening with the family, while maintaining a certain elegance.
What body shape is right for a pencil skirt?
There's no such thing as a pencil skirt. In fact, the women's skirt suit is a universal garment that suits all women and enhances their legs and silhouettes. What makes the pencil skirt so special is its timelessness, its femininity and its ability to emphasize shapes and curves for an instant of elegance.
Why do they call it a pencil skirt?
The pencil skirt simply owes its name to its shape, which evokes a long, slender pencil. This particular shape allows it to hug the woman's body perfectly. The style is accentuated by the length at the hips. The creation of the pencil skirt in the 1940s coincided with women's entry into the world of work, many of them in secretarial jobs that required a pencil for note-taking.
