Pinstripe Suits

The pinstripe suit carries certain associations from its history in traditional British business and finance that have made it feel slightly charged as a style choice in a way that plain suits don't. Some of that charge has dissipated as suiting has become more relaxed generally but it's worth understanding what you're working with. A subtle fine stripe reads as classic and authoritative without being particularly bold. A wider more pronounced stripe is more of a statement and sits in slightly more fashion conscious territory. We love a navy pinstripe with a white shirt and a simple knit tie for something that acknowledges the classic references while keeping the overall look contemporary. The key is not doubling down on the traditional associations by adding everything that goes with them historically. One nod to the classic and the rest kept current.
