Pinstripes has been around for centuries and are usually found in men’s suits. Although with the years the pinstripe pattern has been adopted to a variety of garments within the fashion industry. The most popular colour combinations for the pattern are black/white, grey/white and navy/white. Below you’ll find tips and tricks to rock the trend your way!
Dress it up
Go for a pair of pinstriped suit pants with some structure and a more daring shirt. Black and grey creates a high-end colour combination and a more figure-sewn top gives a beautiful silhouette. Pair it with a wool coat for the autumn season, a statement clutch and your most powerful shoes. You are now dressed up for any event and one trend.
Pants Option – Djerf Avenue
Dress it down
Wear a pinstriped blazer with your go-to jeans and a pair of sneakers for a laid back look that is still office-appropriate. Tweak it to your own style by adding a colourful shirt or a fun print on the sneakers such as above. Grab your day-to-day bag and you are out the door in style!
Blazer Option – A Day’s March
All In
If you want to really devour the pinstripe look you can opt for a beautiful two piece such as above. Another personal favourite for the decreasing degrees are a pinstriped suit. For this navy two-piece set I’d style it with some beige and grey tones for a cozy fall look.
Skirt Option – Gina Tricot // Shirt Option – Gina Tricot
Just a Touch
If you still feel unsure about this trend but want to dip your toes in (literally), try an accessory embellished with the pattern such as a pair of shoes. These beautiful open-back heels gives the perfect edge to the classic shirt and jeans look without overpowering it. Another option would be to add a bag with pinstripes! This way you don’t have to make a major investment to stay on trend this season. A beautiful olive green trench is another way to timidly add colour to an otherwise very basic look.
Heels Option – Ralph Lauren
