Memo 12.18.2024 —— The midi pencil skirt that's flirting with maxi length—it’s minimalist, it’s commanding, and it’s all about quiet authority. This skirt doesn’t need to shout; it says “I mean business” in a tone so measured, it’s practically boardroom poetry. Work it with: a cinched blazer over a demure top, a polo knit (they’re coming in strong in SS2025) or keep it cozy and chic with a beautiful cashmere sweater. Finish the look with pointed pumps or kitten heels for that sleek, restrained vibe. After hours twist: Swap the top for a Gucci bralette under the blazer (above), and add preppy socks to those kitten heels for a wink of irreverence. Reference: Gucci SS2025, Prada SS2025, Dolce Gabbana SS 2025, Max Mara SS2025.
