Photo: Instagram.com/ashleejanelle_The year is just beginning and the fashion world is already making giant strides, with great looks and classic styles. Stripes have been a constant motif in fashion forever — from bold variations to medium and pinstripes. The difference between then and now is that they were known to be for more co-operate settings.
Well, welcome to the 21st-century fashion world, where we convert fashion staples to suit our personal style. No longer restricted to the co-operate world, pinstripes aren’t going anywhere as the trend is still topping the fashion charts. Pinstripes can come in suits, blazers, pants, dresses, and these days there are even corset variations as well as in tennis skirts.
This trend is an approved marriage of two important things in fashion right now, elegance and minimalism, which is why it is doing pretty well on the trend table. If you’re not too much of a fashionista or perhaps you haven’t tried it before, you’re probably wondering; how do I nail the pinstripe look? Ahead, are a few inspirations to help you master the trend.
Pinstripe blazer and denim
One of the chicest and relaxed pintripe parings today is blazer and denim. Denim goes with literally everything and pinstripes are not left out. Add some flair to your denim with a pinstripe blazer to elevate your look. This look can be worn both casually and officially, all you have to do is play with your accessories, perhaps a switch of your footwear.

For a more casual-chic look, pair it with sneakers, and for a more boss chic look, wear it with a pair of high heels or chunky loafer.
Go for the two-piece

You can never go wrong with the pinstripe two-piece. As said earlier, the trend has been a major workwear staple in the co-operate environment and it’s still ruling the roost. In this case, impress your coworkers or friends in a pinstripe blazer and coordinating pants.
Go for the boss-lady look or you can go for the casual chic look, either way, the outfit still looks sophisticated.
And how about the Pinstripe pants and white button-down shirt?
Once the button-down shirt comes into the picture, you know the outfit is about to ooze sophistication. The button-down shirt actually enhances the look of the pinstripe, which is the whole essence. The pinstripe pops better when there’s a monotone color paired with it, so don’t be afraid to rock your tees and classic shirt with it.
Mix and Match
Pair a solid one-toned blazer with pinstripe underneath. It could be a pinstripe dress or pants; the blazer adds depth to the outfit. This is perfect for pinstripe corsets and tennis skirts. The secret is in how you pair the outfit, add a finishing touch with a nice shoulder bag and a chunky sneaker.
Pinstripe and a solid sweater
Pinterest Photo Sweaters now have a new best friend. Before summer shows up and you have to pack up your sweaters, style them with a pinstripe blazer and you’ll be glad you did. The sweater can be worn underneath the blazer and paired with either denim or normal pants. In fact, it also goes great with a two-piece pinstripe suit.
Pinstripe blazer and prints
In your wildest dreams, you may not have thought about how great prints and pinstripes would pair but the shocker is there are as perfect as mac and cheese. To add a beat of color pop, or pattern pop to your pinstripe outfit, pair it with a nice print top. This pair blend even better if it’s a two-piece, blazer and pants pinstripe outfit.
