High Waisted Pencil Skirt - Navy

Designed for the Hourglass Frame

This skirt is engineered—for women with a defined waist and fuller hips.

Cut for an hourglass silhouette, this high-waisted pencil skirt is crafted from lightweight stretch suiting that smooths and supports while offering a slightly more breathable, fluid feel than its black counterpart. The contoured waistband sits high at the natural waist, measuring 2.5" in height creating a clean, elongated line through the torso.

Designed for long workdays and warmer interiors, the lighter-weight suiting maintains structure without heaviness—making this skirt an ideal foundation for tailored sets and capsule wardrobes.

FIT & SILHOUETTE

• High-waisted with a 2.5" waistband for smoothing and support

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF (IMPORTANT)

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

• Waist: Measure at your natural waist—the narrowest part of your torso, where the waistband will sit.

• Hip: Measure at the fullest part of your hips and seat.

• Length: Measure from the top of your waist straight down to where you want the hem to fall.

Refer to the illustrated measurement guide in the product images and the size chart before ordering.
