1. The Perfect Ponte Roma Pencil Skirt
Transition from workwear to weekend wear effortlessly with this versatile staple.
Why it works:
- ✔ Holds shape without restricting movement
- ✔ Wrinkle-resistant for all-day wear
- ✔ No lining needed (Ponte is naturally opaque)
Here's how different weights perform for pencil skirts:
| Fabric Weight | Best For | Drape Quality |
|---|---|---|
| 250-300 GSM | Summer skirts | Fluid |
| 300-350 GSM | Year-round wear | Structured |

As noted in Vogue's sewing guide, medium-weight Ponte (300-350 GSM) offers the ideal balance for most pencil skirt designs.
