13 Office-Appropriate Pencil Skirts Below $100

Pencil skirts are a staple when it comes to office wear and these stylish options are all below $40 so you don’t have to splash out so much to look good.

by Aaron Kok  /   June 25, 2019

Pencil skirts are a staple when it comes to office wear, because you can always count on their fitted cuts to make you look tidier and more professional. But beyond just helping you look business-ready, pencil skirts are also great for complimenting your figure. After all, who doesn’t love a skirt that elongates your legs and makes your waist look smaller and slimmer!

To help you so you don’t splash out so much to look good for the office, we collated some stylish options below $100 for you – all from printed pieces to those in eternally-classic colours. But before we dive into the selection, here are 4 tips to keep in mind to find the pencil skirt that fits perfectly to you:

Tip #1
A wider waistband is more flattering, because it cinches you in and creates a curvier silhouette.

Tip #2
Look out for a pencil skirt with front darts, as it’s likely to fit your body shape better.

Tip #3
A slit – whether in the back or front – is a key feature in a good pencil skirt as it helps facilitate movement.

Tip #4
As a general rule, opting for a below-the-knee hemline keeps your pencil skirt corporate-friendly.

13 Office-Appropriate Pencil Skirts Below $100
1. Skirt, $44.95, from H&M
image

If your work wardrobe is essentially versatile and easy to mix and match, this brown skirt is your best bet. To dress up this knit skirt, pair it with tailored separates such as a sharp blazer and a fitted blouse.

2. Skirt, $29.90, from Dorothy Perkins
image

Pair this statement printed pencil skirt with a black or white for an outfit that’s stylish, effortless and eternally classic. Step into simple black pumps to complete your look.

 

3. Skirt, $69.90, from Zara
image

Neon colours are coming back in a big way, and this tweed skirt is the best way to wear this trend to the office because it subtly incorporates neon yellow into its weave without overdoing the drama.

4. Skirt, $52.90, from Marks & Spencer
image

You’re going to want to wear this Prince of Wales checkered skirt out of the office too. All you need is a structured bag and a nice pair of heels to complete your boardroom-to-bar look!

5. Skirt, $65.90, from Marks & Spencer
image

Black doesn’t always have to be boring, especially with the subtle zebra detailing on this skirt. Tone it down by sticking to simpler separates for the rest of your look, as you don’t want to look too OTT.

6. Skirt, $99.90, from Mango
image

Work in a cold office? This leather pencil skirt will keep you warm. The dusty mustard material feels soft and sits comfortably on your waist, and you can always take it with you on your next year-end business trip.

7. Skirt, $75, from Klarra
image

Tuck a crispy white shirt into this ruffled pencil skirt, and complete with a pair of ankle-strap heels for a fuss-free work look!

8. Skirt, $39.90, from Zara
image

We love how the thin metallic buckle detail transforms this plain pink skirt into something a little more. Plus, it also draws attention to your waist, giving you the illusion of a slimmer figure.

9. Skirt, $25.90, from Mango
image

This ultra-feminine skirt ticks all our style boxes and is so versatile too! Go for a vampish look by wearing this with an oversized boyfriend shirt and red lips, or use it to add texture to your weekend outfit when you match it with a simple tank top.

10. Skirt, $39, from Pomelo
image

You really can’t go wrong with an all-white pencil skirt that matches with just about anything and everything. Our favourite way of wearing this is to pair it with a cream or white top, so you arrive at work looking radiant and angelic.

11. Skirt, $45, from Warehouse
image

The side buttons on this skirt aren’t just for practical closures, they serve as a great way to look slimmer because as they gently curve down the side of your hip, they pull the eye downwards as well.

12. Skirt, $34, from Pomelo
image

Add a menswear-inspired twist to your look with a checkered skirt that can be worn with everything you already own! Whether it’s with a cream-coloured blazer or a silky black blouse, this skirt can match it all.

13. Skirt, $23.90, from Dorothy Perkins
image

Put a punch of vibrant colour back into your closet with the help of this cobalt blue skirt, which you can always pair with a blue striped shirt and strappy stilettos.
