Hemlines tend to be a bit shorter in Miami, but for those looking for a longer and slimmer fit, pencil skirts are the perfect staple. The modern-day pencil skirt made its debut in the 1940’s when Christian Dior first introduced the sleeker fitting style that hits at the knee and it continues to grace the runways and wardrobes of women around the world today. Worn with a suit or on its own, pencil skirts can be versatile piece that every woman should have.
