New skirt from Amazon

[photoguy207]

Over the weekend I ordered a new skirt from amazon. It came today.

I love it! It's a stretchy material. Looks like camo. The back zipper and button are a nice weight. No pockets though.

Check it out. Only 10 bucks and free shipping with prime.

I also ordered 2 others which haven't come yet.

The first one is fine, the pattern is unusual, the price is in the right area and I would wear that. The second one isn't my thing as I don't like the length, pattern or price. Apart from that it's ok. The third I would wear though I would prefer black or blue. I'm not questioning your taste - there's nothing wrong per se it's just my personal taste. I hope you enjoy them.

I love the third one. Alas.. I don't have the legs or knees to wear a mini. I'm not sure about wearing tights to cover up my leg faults. I have very muscular calf and thigh muscles---comes from being a high level alpine skier .

Mikel:
Have you tried basic black - not so much sheer but opaque ?
Dark colors tend to work best to hide leg faults as opposed to sheer and lights pastels showing more.
Hide those thighs under a skirt of length - calf's think about THIN hosiery or kilt sox to balance it out.

photoguy 207 has the right mix/match with what Amazon is showing - hem line at knee with black hosiery.
A tad longer than I prefer but I do like the stretchy waist with the back zipper to insure a secure fit.
As for colors - everyone has an opinion - whatever you can wear comfortably without being a distraction -
Basic black or navy blue is attractive while NEON PINK is going a bit too far advertising "A Man in a Skirt on a Mission" !

And Amazon has some nice introductory prices !

Here are links to the last three skirts I bought from Amazon:

All are about knee-length with a lot of lycra, which makes them extremely comfortable. With pencil skirts in particular, it seems you can never have too much lycra.

They all look fine but as I'm not a fan of pencil skirts it would definitely be number one for me, three at a pinch but not two. The prices would put me off though.

Yeah, I avoided pencil skirts for a long time too, until I noticed that one of the thrift store skirts I wore fairly often was, in fact , a pencil skirt. I'd never noticed before because the fabric had some good stretch to it. Then I saw some nice things about ponte as a fabric, tried one, and liked it.

3rd one of Photoguys pics for me. Looks classy to me and just my length.

I also thought I wouldn't like pencil skirts, but I bought a old navy skirt about two years ago that turned out to be a pencil skirt. Was a stretchy material and 20" long. I love it!! Plus with the pencil skirt, it isn't flared out. The skirts I go out in are as plain as possible. Having them straight makes them more like shorts looking than a skirt, which I like.

I received the long black and white skirt from amazon I posted and tried it out. The stretch waist is nice, but the skirt is so long because it is high waisted. Interesting to wear, really light material, but requires a lot of fussing over so you don't run it over when sitting in a chair with wheels!! It isn't something I would wear out, but wanted to try one on. I am still waiting for the short skirt to arrive, that's coming from China, it's on its way, and amazon says it will be here in April sometime.

Shorten it! Easy to do if you have a sewing machine.

Yes, one nice thing about stretchy pencil skirts is that they're very easy to sit in. The lack of flare keeps them from billowing out like an a-line, pleated, or skater skirt, and so you don't have to hold them in back as you sit.

I.m.o. a skirt has to work with your body to form an acceptable picture. Tall & slender would work with pencil skirt, short and round with an a-line. In the end it's a matter of personal taste.
The first three as posted by photoguy are not to my taste, the second group of three do have some interesting items. Eventough I don't care about jeans, the demin pencilskirt is to my liking.

You've hit the nail on the head there! But...

I tend to agree, but personal taste tops everything simply because you can "pull anything off" if you are confident about it.

[... P]ersonal taste tops everything simply because you can "pull anything off" if you are confident about it.

There is much truth to the above.

I've worn both very slender skirts and very full ones (the last image in that being an extreme example) -- and both can work well. Physique does play into this, and the type of skirt one chooses allows one to game things a bit. That said, I tend to prefer a bit of flare to my skirts.

These are great skirts, comfy, and priced right!
