I don’t complain about my 50s midsection very often, but I had to let pencil skirts go. |

+1. I had one that I loved so much — grey with a very subtle pinstripe. I could wear it with a black sweater, white button down. Even a white tee and it looked great. But menopause turned it into a lumpy sausage. |

Yes they are from the era that clothes were figure flattering. They always look good in the right context including the office. |

I know it's in style, but they are just so horribly unflattering if you're not 5'10 and built like a model. |

Op here - mine are all knee length. At 5’2 that everlane midi pencil skirt someone else posted will have me looking short and stumpy. |

| Thanks to this thread, I dug out my old pencil skirts. I don’t like exposing my legs in cold so I have tomorrow and then next spring |

Same. I have two knit ones but I'll probably get rid of them because with short legs they look best with heels and I'm just not interested in being uncomfortable. |

| I can’t wear because it feels weird going up and down stairs. Like it’s restricting my legs from flexing correctly. Maybe it’s just me and my way of walking? |
