How To Wear A Pinstripe Suit

Before you click off, this isn’t a gangster Halloween outfit suggestion – pinstripe suits are actually happening.

Seen at Tom Ford and Brunello Cucinelli, this tailored look has been given a much needed upgrade with sporty cuts, slim fit, single breasted options and trousers stitched loosely that can be hitched at the ankle for a more laid back vibe.

A simple stripe may feel like a big step out of your comfort zone, but it’s all about picking the right style for you. Embrace the fact that it will make a statement and choose thinner chalk stripes that look especially good on a navy canvas. For something more on trend, go for a grey ensemble with darker or even colourful stripes like a soft blue.

Between the suit, shirt and tie should be a solid colour, though if you’re feeling adventurous can style it with striped versions, just make sure they match up evenly to avoid the whole outfit looking overwhelming.
