Is Encircled's Dressy Sweat Skirt the greatest pencil skirt ever? I don’t think so, but it does have some great features. Here’s the deal:

​Features:

• ​Beautiful, sustainable fabric
• Flattering front pleats
• Small zipper pocket at the back
• Less clingy than the original reversible pencil skirt [review here]
• Longer than the original pencil skirt

On paper The Dressy Sweat Skirt (not to be confused with Dressy Sweatshirt)  seems perfect. Here’s where it’s falling short for me:

• ​The absence of pockets its surprisingly obvious to me when I wear it. The style of the front pleating gives the illusion of pockets and the fact that it mimics the dressy sweatpants and the all day work dress (review here) which both have pockets makes me naturally go to rest my hands in pockets (in an attempt to look laid back yet put together), but alas... they are not there!
• The fabric weight feels the same as the dressy sweatpants but I wish it was as thick as the all day work dress. I find it too thin to wear without something underneath if you want to avoid unflattering bumps or lines showing through.
  (try someslip shorts. Leave a comment if you know of a sustainable option) I'm also using my previous encircled reversible pencil skirt as an underlayer sometimes and it works great.  

​What’s it like to wear Encircled's Dressy Sweatskirt?

• ​Incredibly comfortable, no doubt about it. I wore it to a conference that lasted about 6 hours and never felt more comfortable!
  
  

I actually see myself more likely to wear this in fall/winter than spring/summer. When I’m all layered up with boots ($50 off a sustainable option here)  and leggings, but still want to wear a skirt, this is a perfect option because of how comfortable it is and stretchy. It lays nicely over those warmer under-layers without looking like a heavy winter material.

These are my first impressions of the encircled Dressy Sweatskirt.
You can check out The Dressy Sweatskirt aka a pencil skirt that is actually comfortable  here.
​If you bought one, let me know what you think!
