Featured Fashion Question

Dear Cathie,

I have lots of older pencil style skirts in basic colors that I'd like to wear. (They finally fit again!) I expect to wear tights with them and would probably wear them most often in a classroom teaching setting. What would be the proper length in relation to my knee?

The pencil skirt is the most flattering style skirt for women. Since you plan to wear them with tights in the classroom I would not go shorter than 2"- 3" above the knee. If you want to wear them with nude hosiery and/or tights go for mid knee length. Read More Fashion Questions and Answers.
