High Waisted Pencil Skirt -Black Nylon

The Black That Works With All Blacks

This skirt was designed to solve a very real wardrobe problem.

Most women own multiple black blazers—each in a slightly different fabric, texture, or tone. Matching black suiting precisely is often impossible. This skirt removes that friction entirely.

Crafted from a technical nylon stretch fabric with a subtle sheen, this high-waisted pencil skirt is intentionally not suiting. The light-reflective finish allows it to pair seamlessly with matte, textured, or tailored black jackets—making it the most versatile black skirt in a professional wardrobe.

It’s the piece that works with everything they already own.

FIT & SILHOUETTE

• High-waisted with a 2.5" contoured waistband designed to smooth and support the midsection

• Engineered specifically for hourglass proportions, with added room through the hips

• Two front darts and two back darts for clean shaping without pulling

• Hidden back kick pleat for ease of movement

• Stretch fabric with excellent recovery that maintains its shape throughout the day

If your waist and hip measurements are closer together (straight frame), we recommend the Savvy Sabina Skirt, which is cut straight through the hip.

LENGTH

• Standard length: 27.5" from top of waistband to hem

• Falls just below the knee on most women 5'6" and taller

• Custom length available upon request

FABRIC

Technical Nylon Stretch

A durable nylon blend with elastane, chosen for its strength, flexibility, and refined surface sheen. The fabric offers structure without stiffness and allows for effortless pairing across different black tones and textures.

Unlined by design for comfort and ease of movement.

For the best fit, we recommend measuring yourself before selecting a size.

• Waist: Measure at your natural waist, where the waistband will sit
