The Anchor Skirt is called this because, it has a classic, yet nautical vibe.  Paired with a sharp navy blazer would just set it off.  Also, this skirt is a staple.  Its unique, but with a staple shape. Its great to fill your closet with anchor pieces, pieces that wont go out of style, will remain classic for A LONG TIME!!
