African Print Pencil Skirt | Zivara
Beautifully fitted with a defined high waist, this African print pencil skirt combines elegant tailoring with a striking navy, red and gold floral pattern. The rich Ankara fabric brings warmth and colour to the classic pencil silhouette, creating a versatile piece for weddings, celebrations and smart occasionwear.
Crafted from 100% cotton and fully lined, the skirt is tailored to follow the natural shape of the waist and hips before falling to a sleek midi length. Its structured finish creates a polished appearance, while a discreet back zip provides a neat fastening.
Wear this Ankara pencil skirt with a fitted corset for a sculpted silhouette, a cropped jacket for elegant layering or its matching sleeveless peplum jacket for a complete coordinated outfit.
This listing is for the pencil midi skirt only. Tops, jackets and accessories shown in the photographs are not included.
Create different outfits with these complementary Zivara designs, available separately.
Zivara African Print Corset Top
Pair the skirt with the matching floral corset for a beautifully defined silhouette. The sculpted sweetheart neckline and pointed corset hem complement the skirt's high waist, creating an elegant outfit for evening celebrations and special occasions.
Zivara African Print Cropped Jacket
Wear the skirt with the Zivara cropped jacket for a tailored look. The jacket's overlapping front panels and structured shoulders introduce another dimension to the outfit while allowing the fitted skirt to remain visible.
For a coordinated peplum look, pair the skirt with its matching sleeveless wrap jacket. The sculpted shoulders, defined waist and softly flared peplum create a beautiful contrast against the skirt's streamlined shape.

A beautifully tailored pencil skirt can be styled in several ways, making it a useful piece for both special occasions and smart everyday dressing.
For wedding receptions and formal celebrations, wear this floral Ankara skirt with the Zivara corset top and elegant heels. The fitted corset and pencil skirt create a graceful silhouette, allowing the rich navy, red and gold pattern to take centre stage.
For church, family celebrations or an elegant daytime event, pair it with the matching sleeveless wrap jacket. The peplum introduces shape around the waist and hips, balancing the skirt's narrower silhouette.
The cropped jacket offers another option when you prefer a more tailored appearance. Wear it over a plain fitted top to introduce contrast while keeping the skirt and jacket as the main features of your outfit.
For a simpler look, style the skirt with a cream blouse or understated navy top. The floral fabric provides plenty of colour, so the remaining pieces can be kept minimal.
Designed with a high waist and a slim, body-contouring pencil silhouette. The tailored construction follows the waist and hips, with a sleek finish through the midi length.
The skirt is fully lined and fastens with a centre back zip.
