Pinstripes For Day And Night Will Be Huge This Autumn
For fashionistas who are slowly transitioning their wardrobe from the dog days of summer to early autumn, pinstripes are slated to rule this season. On the Fall 2016 runways, pinstriped suits made a grand entrance on a number of runways, with dark colours and subtle stripes reigning supreme. As you begin to perfect your wardrobe for the season ahead, try embracing the classic pinstriped suit in all its glory. Whether you’re heading to the office or on a night out, here are a few ways to rock this androgynous fashion trend now.
Casual Chic
For a laidback Saturday, take your sartorial cues from the Tibi runway and slip into a dark navy blue and white pinstriped suit. While the idea of weekend suiting may seem absurd, baggy menswear inspired trousers and white sneakers can transform your suit into a casual ensemble. Meanwhile, minimal accessories keep your entire outfit looking chic yet understated.
Work Wear
As you prepare to step into your next big meeting, draw your sartorial inspiration from the Trussardi catwalk. A pinstriped V-neck dress can easily be paired with an oversized matching blazer, while knee-high brown leather boots complete the look. For a finishing touch, add a blue and gold patterned silk scarf and dark oversized sunglasses.
Evening
As day turns into night, take your cues from the Edun runway and slip into a pair of electric green pinstriped cropped trousers. While the colour scheme may be too funky for daytime, it can certainly make a splash on the dance floor. Meanwhile, a matching boyfriend jacket with a plunging V-neck and dark blue ruffles can complete your style. Add funky black Doc Martens to bring a polished, gleaming effect to your entire ensemble.
