The pencil skirt—once a stalwart staple of suburban style—is being reclaimed by stylish globetrotters like Victoria Beckham, who stepped off the plane at JFK Airport yesterday in an ensemble that exemplified understated elegance. Beckham’s pairing of a men’s striped shirt and floral skirt was simple and unfussy, showing how well opposites attract. Think of Beckham’s interpretation as the modern take on the power suit. Grounded with a nude single-sole stiletto, and it’s truly a posh look indeed.
