I have a cashmere sweater of a similar color and I often wear it with a tweed black/cream/grey skirt and a mottled, oversized olive green and black scarf, with suede black boots, and people love it. A leather jacket is good too; it takes out the "boring" of the straight pencil form. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941783 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 21:33:55 +0000 3style 1941783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as light colors to go with it, I have a scarf and a sweater that have this chartreuse color, and the white part of those patterns is “winter white” and not “ivory.” What I mean by that is white that’s been shaded with a little bit of gray and the tiniest bit of yellow, so that it’s less bright than stark white but not actually apparently yellow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941777 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 21:08:54 +0000 Dana 1941777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others! I really think you can wear the skirt with almost anything, any color. Since you like the idea of it with ivory, might you invest in white/ivory booties and wear the outfit in the fall before you need tights?&nbsp;</p> <p>I especially like chartreuse with aubergine/plum and I'm betting you could find a scarf with the two colors to tie them together. Then you could certainly do black tights with black or burgundy boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941625 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 14:59:02 +0000 cjh 1941625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy, teal, dark olive, plum or dark magenta would be a great foil for the sour hue of this beautiful skirt. Use as a top, topper, or accents in accessories. I’d also pair it with steel gray and turquoise, coral and warm ivory, or a muted royal blue (French navy?) and slivers of Kelly green for more summery options. Again, what a beautiful skirt. Please post some pictures when you come up with some combos from your closet or shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941552 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 11:57:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1941552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d wear it with other bright colors—yellow, strong pink, purple. If that’s too much for a top for you, maybe a simple white/off white top and a scarf in those colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941551 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 11:53:20 +0000 lyn67 1941551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...so, wear it with any color you'll like, it only needs repeating in the accessories or layering:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941482 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 07:07:36 +0000 Jessikams 1941482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the shops I’ve seen some fall outfits in lovely wool, chartreuse and bright yellow together!

Another option (I just love combining colours and creating "new" outfits): Gold or amber and a saturated olive green would look amazing with this skirt. Try, for instance, an olive green topper with a top in one of your favourite light neutrals, and wear a chunky pendant necklace in gold or amber. Finish the look with brown shoes, bag and belt--or replace one or more of the brown items with olive green. A braided belt, perhaps in two or more of the colours mentioned above, would look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941282 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 18:07:55 +0000 Anonymous 1941282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941281 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 18:05:59 +0000 Nina 1941281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many thanks to everyone! <br />You really gave me a fresh view and an inspiration!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941278 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:36:33 +0000 SarahD8 1941278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cream/ivory/pale beige on top, and cognac footwear.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like everyone else's suggestions too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941271 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:24:00 +0000 Anonymous 1941271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about silver? Navy sounds perfect if you want to go cooler. Shelia has some great ideas. Black and white or grey and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941269 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:22:54 +0000 Like the Season 1941269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing what The Cat said. Brown would look great with the chartreuse for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941261 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:13:54 +0000 kkards 1941261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie wears this color a lot, so you can search the blog and forum for ideas...</p> <p>I'd wear navy (example <a href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/02/16/ensemble-dark-with-a-colourful-kick/" rel="nofollow">here</a>)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941255 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:01:18 +0000 The Cat 1941255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... And OF COURSE, you can wear the skirt with cream/ivory/pale beige. You don't need to wear shoes in that colour. Suggestion: Wear a top OR topper in one of those light neutrals, and wear a topper OR top in the colour of your shoes. Choose jewellery or scarf that echoes the colour of your skirt and one or two of the other colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941254 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:01:01 +0000 Sheila 1941254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I owned this skirt I would be wearing it with emerald green, navy, tomato red, black or white. I do not own any grey tops. I have a few scarves that would mix well with this skirt, and these would provide an array of colors to soften the brightness of the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941249 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 16:52:42 +0000 The Cat 1941249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My immediate suggestion: Wear the skirt in fall, with a brown pullover and brown shoes/booties plus a patterned scarf containing some chartreuse or a similar yellow-green tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chartreuse-pencil-skirt-what-to-wear-it-with#post-1941246 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 16:48:38 +0000 Nina 1941246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel a bit trapped here: I own an amazing Italian 100%-wool pencil skirt in chartreuse (quite bright for me - actually it's more vibrant than on the pic). Love the fit and the color! But have no idea how to make an outfit of it. I used to wear it with medium-gray turtleneck, it looked okay but perhaps too "safe".<br />I think it would look great with cream/ivory/pale beige, but the skirt is quite warm, and I do not own any warm shoes/outwear in such light colors.<br />I'd love to know your thought and get some style inspiration. I love that such a place exists. </p>
