Structured skirts are a great way to spice-up an office look. Rather than your typical pencil skirt, it may be a good idea to opt for a structured skirt. Especially as the weather gets warmer, a structured skirt gives your legs room to breathe. Many designers have created structured skirts, but this trend can easily be worked off the runway, as well. Pairing a structured skirt with a dainty heel and a fitted top ensures the focus of the outfit is entirely on the skirt. Pro tip: a basic button-down, such as the Marc Jacobs one shown, would look just fabulous buttoned all the way to mix feminine and masculine styles. All in all, whether it’s black, white or in a statement-making colour, a structured skirt will make any outfit bolder and feminine.
