Women's Black Faux Suede Pencil Skirt

Faux suede construction with a soft, napped surface that catches the light differently depending on the angle - the texture does the work without any embellishment. Panelled detailing across the upper skirt creates a subtle seam line that draws the eye upward and adds structural interest to an otherwise clean silhouette. Pencil cut sits close through the hip and falls straight to midi length - approximately 85cm - holding its shape firmly rather than clinging. A wide, flat waistband sits neatly at the natural waist, giving a defined finish that tucks in cleanly under fitted tops. Fully lined for a smooth hang and comfortable wear throughout the day, with a wipe-clean faux suede surface that makes it genuinely practical. A boardroom lunch or a gallery opening - this skirt reads equally well in both. The midi length and tailored pencil cut carry the formality of the occasion without needing to try, and the faux suede surface brings enough tactile richness to make it feel considered rather than corporate. The model wears it with a fitted ribbed top and pointed kitten-heel courts, which is exactly the right approach: keep everything else close to the body and let the skirt's structure lead. For an evening setting, swap the ribbed knit for a sleek satin blouse tucked in at the waistband and the look shifts effortlessly. It sits well with heels of any height, though a low block heel or flat court keeps the proportions grounded and wearable from morning through to dinner. The panelled seam detail means it photographs beautifully, but more importantly, it holds its shape after hours of wear - no shifting, no creasing through the lining. | Karen Millen Women's Faux Suede Pencil Skirt in Black | Size: 6 Colour: black
