False serpent is an expression that one would not normally choose to call their fashion choice, though it is now looking to jump into our wardrobe as the trend du jour. The python optic is perfectly placed on a pencil skirt, as runway designers from Mi-lan to New York have shown. The fabric choice for this look to be printed onto – (faux) leather, silk, cotton – or as a jacquard weave, has a wide range of possibility so that we can choose what we love.

The styling is also new: rather than pairing with a reserved blouse, now cool sportswear and T-shirts in a layered look (Antonio Marras, Calvin Klein) or a masculine blazer style (Miu Miu) with a pencil skirt are hot. Fashionistas choose an allover print (Rochas) or mix the look with shades of neon throughout (Christian Siriano).
The print isn't the only draw to this look – also the cut of "the skirt" is a stunner. An asymmetric wrap detail creates a sexy slit in front and darts in the back ensure a perfect fit even without a waistband. Whatever the outfit occasion, "this skirt" is versatile and will surely elevate anything you pair with it.
This skirt works wonderfully for a day at the office, especially if you plan on going out for after work drinks with co-workers. This look especially though will make a fabulous #OOTD that means business, and we love it paired with a bright blouse "like this retro one" with a large bow. Pair with classic pumps and some matching sunnies to round out the entire look.
You'll also be ready to tackle any weekend activity with this skirt, and for the warmer days paired with a lovely little lace tank "like this one" - you'll be brunching, day tripping, and heading to the market in style!
Night out on the town? This skirt screams a sultry outfit complete with a "blousey top" and a red lip. To keep things comfortable opt for a lower block heel that is also on trend this season. How will you rock this python skirt trend?
