Tailored Sparkle Midi Pencil Skirt

Wrap-front pencil silhouette with a front split that allows a clean stride without compromising the tailored line - it sits close to the body without restricting movement. A wide, structured waistband finished with a row of decorative buttons adds a sharp tailoring detail that anchors the whole look. All-over micro sparkle runs through the fabric - subtle enough to read as texture in daylight, but catches the light in the evening without veering into overtly embellished territory. The viscose blend gives a soft drape and cool handfeel that skims the body, keeping the skirt composed rather than clingy through the hips and thigh. Midi length sits at approximately 80cm, landing below the knee for a silhouette that is considered and occasion-ready. Contrast piping trims the waistband, drawing a precise line between the structured top and the draped skirt below. The wrap front is what makes this skirt worth attention. It breaks the pencil shape just enough - a diagonal line from hip to hem that reads as intentional rather than decorative, giving the structured tailoring a quiet edge. The micro sparkle woven through the fabric does its best work in the evening, shifting the skirt from boardroom-polished to occasion-sharp without the need to change the entire look. Worn as styled here, a fine-knit roll-neck tucked in keeps the focus firmly on the waistband detail and the clean lines of the skirt. Swap in a slim fitted blazer for a formal event such as a wedding or graduation, and the silhouette remains composed and authoritative. Knee-high heeled boots, as seen on the model, elongate the leg through the split and keep the proportion balanced at midi length. For races or an evening event, a pointed-toe heel and a structured clutch complete the look with the kind of restraint that Karen Millen does best. Dry clean only.
