Pencil skirt - fashion trends 2019

Appearing at the beginning of the last century, the pencil skirt firmly entered the female wardrobe, without changing its classic shape. Fashion trends of 2017 will help to understand the new models and current colors of the pencil skirt. The advantages of this model are largely traced in the history of its appearance.

In 1908, the Wright brothers (Wilber and Orville) decided to make the first flight on an airplane with a female passenger. She became Hart O. Bert. For safety of flight, in order to prevent the floors of the dress from falling into the screws of the airplane, they were pulled together with a strap below the knees.

This story was a colossal world fame. Reports about it were printed in different parts of the world. The photograph of the participants in the flight was imprinted on postage stamps. Designers of the time did not stand aside. Two years later, the ladies strolled through the streets in dresses tied around the knees.

It was the first prototype of a pencil skirt, which was called the “lame skirt”. Women moved with difficulty in it, but suffered inconveniences. For the first time they had the opportunity to demonstrate a more elegant silhouette.

Later, in 1926, Gabriel Coco Chanel creates her little black dress. The silhouette of the dress repeats the outlines of a classic pencil skirt. But we owe the appearance of the skirt itself to another designer, who will create and popularize it a few years later.

In the difficult period of the First World War, due to a lack of fabrics, the skirts become shorter, trousers appear in the women's wardrobe. In the post-war period, society is changing radically, which also entails a change in clothing. Waist on dresses is now below. Women want to simplify the form.

In 1940, Christian Dior creates the new look collection. The first pencil skirt was presented in this collection. Her name is “H-skirt”. The skirt was recommended to be worn with jackets and tunics, and later with sweaters and blouses with a free cut.

Now women could show ankles and genuine beauty of female curves. The skirt was popular with celebrities and ordinary women. Being a part of the business image up to this point, in the 80s and 90s the pencil skirt becomes a universal element of the wardrobe. It is combined with various textures and experimenting with color.

The main distinguishing feature of such a skirt from any other - in the form-fitting cut. He forces a woman to move properly, not giving free rein to loose movements. Pencil skirt, in contrast to a straight skirt, narrows down. It is suitable for any style.

The skirt should fit the figure, not hindering the movement and not drooping. There are several conditions that can be satisfied with the correctly chosen size:

1. On the skirt does not form folds and creases;
2. The skirt does not tighten the buttocks, but smoothly fits them;
3. The front of the skirt vertically comes down.

Pencil skirt fits any type of figure, it is only important to choose the right color, length and size. Girls with a body type of rectangle should focus on the waist with a belt or color contrast. Girls with fluffy hips should choose a monotonous skirt of dark colors with a high waist. Narrow hips will visually become wider thanks to prints and light colors of the skirt.

In addition, the right style can correct the shape as much as possible.

The choice of style is closely related to the length of the skirt, compatibility with other elements of the wardrobe and the effect that it will create. Therefore, each variant of the skirt must be approached individually.

Does not require any special combinations, but shows a more open view of the upper legs. The incision can be centered or offset to the side. In any case, this skirt attracts more attention than the classic version.

The smell on the skirt gives it some frivolity. This option is getting closer to everyday and evening style of clothing. In the case when the fabric on such a skirt is draped, it visually narrows the hips. It should be noted that any skirt that has a central open part above the knees, focuses on the internal contours of the legs. That allows her to unduly highlight any errors in this zone.

A skirt without a belt looks unfinished. In the case when it has a fit at the waist, it is better to use a belt. Emphasis on the waist can put a woman with any type of figure. For women with a figure type of rectangle, triangle and inverted triangle, this emphasis is more than necessary.

The wide skirt belt already highlights the waist. The belt can be used additionally if the belt does not contrast with the skirt and the fitted top, a woman with a figure type of rectangle.

Ruffles on a pencil skirt are located on the bottom of the product, resembling the silhouette of a skirt-year. She balances the shape and suits women of thin and medium build. Such a skirt does not add extra volume to the thighs, therefore, it is preferable, first of all, for the type of a triangle.
