Pairing your pencil skirt with an edgy moto jacket is a great way to make the workwear favorite a bit more youthful.

Go printed with a knee-length pencil skirt that’s whimsical yet conservative. Pair it with a classic button-down shirt and pointed-toe pumps to ensure you’re boardroom-ready.

A turtleneck sweater is a great option for those of you who don’t want to think too much about extra accessories. The high funnel or draped cowl neck gives your office look an extra dimension of detail without extra fuss.

Go for white (yes, even after Labor Day!) to brighten your look and pair it with a lightweight chambray button-down and mules.

Mix high and low by pairing a chic leather pencil skirt with a plaid button-down. Both pieces make each other work for the office, as the casual top balances the evening vibe of the skirt.

Whether you’re going monochromatic, or mixing hues, play with texture when getting dressed for work. We love this bonded vinyl skirt, mixed with a chunky knit.
