With her finger on the pulse of the latest trends, it's no surprise that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's daily looks are perfectly in tune with what fashion editors and influencers are wearing right now. Attending a meeting in London this week, the model styled the skirt and shoe combination I've seen fashion people integrate into their wardrobes just in time for fashion month.
Wearing a knee-length skirt in a sleek pencil cut, the model paired her look with sharp pointed-toe shoes, creating an easy but elegant outfit that was seeped in sophistication. Simple in theory but incredibly striking in practice, this outfit combination imparts a polished energy and poised silhouette that fashion people are already embracing this autumn.
Having previously fallen out of favour for its "stuffy" connotations, the knee-length skirt found itself on the back burner for many years. This year, however, the trend has crept back to the fore, ushered in by A/W 24 runway shows including Givenchy, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini and Ferragamo, which all called on the elegant item to sharpen looks across their collections.
Whilst I think a knee-length skirt and loafer pairing is going to look chic every single time, my ultimate shoe to wear with a pencil skirt is a pointed toe. Elongating the leg and giving office-siren energy, the sleek silhouette creates trumps all others for me.
Whilst Huntington-Whiteley wore her elegant combination to a meeting in London, I've also seen the look in Copenhagen and Paris.
