A suit says a lot about your style, and it's one of the key pieces in a man's wardrobe. If you're looking to stand out from the crowd and step away from the classic plain suit, the pinstripe suit is a great place to start.

Classic gent in a pinstripe suit

Pinstripes will give your usual suit style a little accent of personality. Traditionally seen as a classy choice when it comes to formalwear, a pinstripe suit is the ideal addition to the classic gent's wardrobe. Let your suit speak for itself and style it with a crisp white shirt and a neutral coloured tie, and keep your shoes classic for effortless elegance. Understated loafers will set the suit off nicely without invading its style statement. Choose black shoes to wear with black and grey pinstripe suits, but opt for brown if you've got a navy suit.

Dandy days in a pinstripe suit

The modern dandy is all about fashion flair, and the pinstripe suit is the ideal staple for statement dressing. Play to the punctuation of the suit and wear yours with standout accessories such as pocket squares and matching bow ties, or look for unique accessories such as lapel pins and tie bars to give it that luxe man about town feel. Step away from classic footwear to really turn up the style stakes. Cuffed pinstripe trousers sit nicely with a smart pair of boaters or brogues, but you can really push the fashion boundaries by wearing your suit with a pair of low top trainers.
