FRINGE BENEFITS

The skirt that offers the least scary way to experiment with a fringe this season

There’s a reason the pencil skirt has been a fashion mainstay for years: it’s just so damn flattering. While we may appreciate the style’s shape-enhancing qualities, and the fact it offers the perfect waistband for tops that just need to be tucked in, the pencil skirt sometimes gets a bad reputation for being restrictive or uncomfortable. Not so with this bold skirt, with a slit that lets you move easily without being too revealing, and on-trend fringing, a look championed this season by designers such as Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford. Pair with a fitted white blouse for work, or team with a plain crew-neck jumper and trainers at the weekend.
