Victoria Beckham Wore the Skirt Trend Every Fashion Person Has on Their Radar

When I think of Victoria Beckham, her sleek, considered tailoring comes to mind first—the kind of refined dressing that has become her signature. It’s exactly why she’s one of the first people I look to when I’m seeking inspiration for the smarter side of my wardrobe.

This week, the designer stepped out in a tailoring trend that’s been making its way back onto the fashion radar. Leaving her beloved puddle pants at home, Beckham was spotted in a sharply tailored pencil skirt that grazed her ankles and featured a thigh-high slit.

Having made a confident return on recent runways, the pencil skirt is poised for a major revival this winter. A structured alternative to the voluminous white styles that dominated summer, this new iteration speaks to our growing desire for sharp tailoring and poised, form-flattering silhouettes as the temperature drops.

Victoria styled her skirt with a black V-neck blouse and peep-toe curved-heel mules—a sleek departure from the pops of colour she’s been experimenting with this season. Victoria’s elevated ensemble was a reminder of the enduring elegance of a dark, monochromatic look.

Already on the radar of the chicest dressers I know, it’s only a matter of time before the pencil skirt trend goes fully mainstream. To get ahead of the curve, read on to discover the best styles to shop now.
