The time has come for each and every man to experiment with the fashion conscious pinstriped suit. Pinstripes have been unfairly pigeon-holed as a pattern for the wearisome banker and the conservative businessman. Not that there’s anything wrong with either look, but pinstripes are much, much more. They can be modern, they can be edgy and they can be right for you. The rule to all good fashion remains the same: have some fun and throw some personal brilliance into the mix. Here are our suggestions for walking the many fashionable lines of life in pinstripes.
You Mean Modern Business
For those of you who wear suits to work, it’s time to rev it up with a two piece wool suit in navy blue pinstripes. Discount the notion of looking conservatively outdated by rocking a spread collar dress shirt and a striped slim tie. We suggest our Slim Necktie by BlackBird in Wine Red.
Cocktail Date
Make the crowd swoon by breaking up the two piece pinstripe suit and pairing your slim cut pin stripe suit jacket with a tailored white dress shirt and a plaid patterned tie. The combination of sophisticated colors and contemporary casualness will definitely earn you a few winks and possibly a cocktail or two.
Everyday Casual
Sick of denim? It can happen and when it does, you should opt for wearing your pin stripe pants with a polo and/or crewneck sweater. The comfort level is the same as denim and you look a notch hipper than the masses. Don’t be afraid to pair pin stripe wool trousers with sneaker and loafers.
