CSS: Any way to create top to bottom arrow?

I have a CSS-related question here. I want to create a horizontal arrow, like this on screen shot (actually it was added in paint).

As a possible solution I thought of using the transform: skew property, but I don't think it is possible to skew one element on left&right sides.

Any suggestion about this, please? :)

It's possible using "a single div" by taking advantage of the :before and :after selector. 

.arrow {
  margin: 50px;
  width: 500px;
  height: 40px;
}
.arrow:before {
  content: '';
  position: relative;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  display: inline-block;
  width: calc(50% - 2px);
  height: 100%;
  border: 1px solid red;
  border-right-width: 0;
  transform: skewY(10deg);
}
.arrow:after {
  content: '';
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  width: calc(50% - 2px);
  height: 100%;
  border: 1px solid red;
  border-left-width: 0;
  transform: skewY(-10deg);
}
<div class="arrow"></div>
