Your bottom half never looked so good

Best high-waisted pencil skirts I don't really want to call it a trend, because it's actually a return to a truly classic shape, but let's face it - if you wear one of these, you're going to look very much on point for spring. Here are our favorite high-waisted pencil skirts found on the web. |

Love the pinstripes and the panelling at the top of this little
number! A bit pricey, but it looks like the tailoring is probably
worth it. $174.00 at Finley |

| A high-waisted white pencil skirt that isn't see-through? This
may be it! It's made of linen and incredibly hot. Apparently the buttons
on the skirt are made from real silver, too! (Who thinks of these
things?) $150.00 at Lola y Maria |

Hello there. You couldn't wear this just anywhere, but I'm a firm
believer that every girl can find a time and place for red satin in
her life. This skirt is the most retro of the bunch, perfect when
slipped on with some black peep-toes. $78.75 at CX London |

| This skirt is definitely a fashion-forward (or "modernist", as Warehouse
puts it) choice. You wear this, and you're hiking it up beyond
your waist - not that there's anything wrong with that. Perhaps with
a blousy white top and some pearls, if you love the 1940s as much
as I do. £40.00 at Warehouse. |

Your bottom half never looked so good You know that feeling you get when you finally "get" a certain fashion category? Like the day you discovered purses, or the day you started caring about jewelry? Well, now it's hosiery's turn. Read on! |

 Gio Fuchsia Stockings with Black Seam |
These are just amazing. And you could always wear them to an 80s party, if nowhere else. | |
 Falke Butterfly and Side Seam Tights |
I love the delicate blue that these ones come in. There's also a butterfly design on the "brief" part of the tights (for lack of a better word), which your boyfriend may like. | |
 Jonathan Aston Net Stripe Hold Ups |
Thigh-highs with an edge. Won't these look so much better with your pencil skirt (chosen from above, of course) than plain black pantyhose? | |
 Aristoc Diamond Opaque Thigh Highs |
A new take on schoolgirl. You almost want to wear something short enough to show off the tops of these. Almost. | |
 Trasparenze Idra Fishnet Ankle Highs |
Fishnet socks? Ingenious! So cute with serious open-toed heels like the ones pictured here. | |
