pencil skirt
Slim fitted garment
A pencil skirt is a narrow, straight skirt that fits closely from the waist to below the knee, its silhouette resembling a pencil.
The fitted cut restricts stride, giving it a formal, tailored appearance associated with professional dress: She wore a pencil skirt and blazer to the interview.
The style dates to the 1950s and remains a wardrobe staple.
