Skew only one side of before & after to get flat-arrow

1

I've created some dummy breadcrumb-steps.
The 1st breadcrumb-step need to have a normal flat border on the left, which is done.
And on hover, I need to show the black border for each breadcrumb item.

But the only problem is on hover, for the 1st breadcrumb-step, I don't get that flat border on the left as expected.

Here's what is expected on hover:

Here's my code:

body {

	padding: 0;

	margin: 0;

}



.breadcrumbs {

	background-color: white;

	width: 100%;

	padding: 0 1rem;

	font-size: 0;

	margin: 1rem;

}



.breadcrumbs .breadcrumb-step {

	display: inline-block;

	width: 12.33%;

	height: 5rem;

	text-decoration: none;

	color: black;	

}



.step-title {

	display: none;

}



.breadcrumb-step:before {

	content: '';

	display: block;

	transform: skew(30deg);

	border: 1px solid lightgrey;

	border-bottom: none;

	height: 50%;

	width: 100%;

}



.breadcrumb-step:after {

	content: '';

	display: block;

	transform: skew(-30deg);

	border: 1px solid lightgrey;

	border-top: none;

	height: 50%;

	width: 100%;

}



.breadcrumb-step:hover:before {

	border-color: black;

}



.breadcrumb-step:hover:after {

	border-color: black;

}



.breadcrumb-step:nth-child(1):before {

	transform: none;

	border-right: none;

}

.breadcrumb-step:nth-child(1):after {

	transform: none;

	border-right: none;

}



.breadcrumb-step:nth-child(1):hover:before {

	transform: skew(30deg);

	border-right: 1px solid black;

}



.breadcrumb-step:nth-child(1):hover:after {

	transform: skew(-30deg);

	border-right: 1px solid black;

}

/*

.breadcrumb-step:nth-child(1) {

	border: 1px solid lightgrey;

}



.breadcrumb-step:nth-child(1):before {

	transform: none;

	border: none;

}



.breadcrumb-step:nth-child(1):after {

	transform: none;

	border: none;

}

*/

<div class="breadcrumbs">

	<a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">Home</span></a>

	<a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">About</span></a>

	<a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">Contact Us</span></a>

You can adjust the transform-origin then hide the overflowing part of the skewed element and change the left border of the first child on hover:

body {

  margin: 0;

}



.breadcrumbs {

  background-color: white;

  width: 100%;

  padding: 0 1rem;

  font-size: 0;

  margin: 1rem;

}



.breadcrumbs .breadcrumb-step {

  display: inline-block;

  width: 12.33%;

  height: 5rem;

  text-decoration: none;

  color: black;

}

/*added this*/

.breadcrumbs .breadcrumb-step:first-child {

  width: 15.33%; 

  overflow:hidden;

  border-left:1px solid lightgrey;

}

/**/



.step-title {

  display: none;

}



.breadcrumb-step:before,

.breadcrumb-step:after {

  content: '';

  display: block;

  height: 50%;

  box-sizing:border-box;

  width: 100%;

  border: 1px solid lightgrey;



}

.breadcrumb-step:before {

  transform: skew(30deg);

  transform-origin:right bottom; /*added this*/

  border-bottom: none;

}



.breadcrumb-step:after {

  transform: skew(-30deg);

  transform-origin:right top; /*added this*/

  border-top: none;

}



/*added this*/

.breadcrumb-step:hover:before,

.breadcrumb-step:hover:after,

.breadcrumbs .breadcrumb-step:first-child:hover{

  border-color: black;

}

<div class="breadcrumbs">

  <a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">Home</span></a>

  <a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">About</span></a>

You can adjust the transform-origin then hide the overflowing part of the skewed element and change the left border of the first child on hover:

body {

  margin: 0;

}



.breadcrumbs {

  background-color: white;

  width: 100%;

  padding: 0 1rem;

  font-size: 0;

  margin: 1rem;

}



.breadcrumbs .breadcrumb-step {

  display: inline-block;

  width: 12.33%;

  height: 5rem;

  text-decoration: none;

  color: black;

}

/*added this*/

.breadcrumbs .breadcrumb-step:first-child {

  width: 15.33%; 

  overflow:hidden;

  border-left:1px solid lightgrey;

}

/**/



.step-title {

  display: none;

}



.breadcrumb-step:before,

.breadcrumb-step:after {

  content: '';

  display: block;

  height: 50%;

  box-sizing:border-box;

  width: 100%;

  border: 1px solid lightgrey;



}

.breadcrumb-step:before {

  transform: skew(30deg);

  transform-origin:right bottom; /*added this*/

  border-bottom: none;

}



.breadcrumb-step:after {

  transform: skew(-30deg);

  transform-origin:right top; /*added this*/

  border-top: none;

}



/*added this*/

.breadcrumb-step:hover:before,

.breadcrumb-step:hover:after,

.breadcrumbs .breadcrumb-step:first-child:hover{

  border-color: black;

}

<div class="breadcrumbs">

  <a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">Home</span></a>

  <a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">About</span></a>

  <a class="breadcrumb-step" href="#"><span class="step-title">Contact Us</span></a>
