Versatile Appeal in Men’s Fashion: Donning the Pinstripe Suit

August 8, 2012

Tradition makes the pinstripe suit the perfect attire for the serious professional. Trendy fashion, however, makes this piece of apparel a savvy choice for out-of-office events. The cloth pattern of very thin stripes running parallel has been closely associated with the business formal look for a long time. However, fashion-forward designers have crafted men’s wear sans the uptight banker look.

While it’s true that donning the pinstripe suit gives a man that edgy savoir-faire appearance in the office, the suit also finds its way in evening affairs and other formal occasions outside the four corners of the corporate room. It is no longer a 9 to 5 garb, limited to making one look sophisticated at work. Social gatherings have found men in these power apparels, including weddings, watching premieres, and other important out-of-office meetings. Rather stylish, it is perfect for events that regard a high fashion sense.

Men’s fashion on the professional track tends to focus on elegance and sophistication and this suit gives a man that polished look. Who can resist the charm of a poised young man in a handsomely tailored suit with a modern pattern? It is important to note, though, that it is not very formal piece of clothing so it is not appropriate for a black-tie affair. Likewise, it is not a casual garment that can be worn effortlessly. Men with a strong fashion sense can easily pull off wearing this apparel.

A good thing to know is that this chic pattern for a suit can work well for any guy. Dressing yourself in this commanding suit easily makes a daring testimony: one is oozing confidence and charisma. Conversely, it is best for stocky guys or short ones as stripes make them look tall and superior. If you are rather slim, you should think twice about wearing pinstripes so you will not look too lanky or lame. Since it is a trendy fashion, pinstripes can speak volumes of influence and poise, and this pattern will be an advantageous choice if you want to make a bold statement.

Restraints come with this statement pattern: one cannot wear an all-pinstripe attire. One out of the three pieces of your overall look should be solid, which means that with a pinstripe suit, either your shirt or tie should be solid. Be careful not to mix it with any second pattern if you are not confident. It is best to be cautious on this side of fashion. With care in donning this suit, you can be sleek and edgy, in the office or at events out of the office.

Men’s fashion, like that of women’s, is continually evolving with the times and catching up to the generations. The patterns of the past that used to be rigid and limited, are now flexible yet still very classy. Nevertheless, fashion prudence still needs to be exercised if one wants to look real good. The pinstripe is a classic exemplar of patterns never going out of style and donning a pinstripe suit invokes checking your restrictions and knowing what apparel will make you come across as smart, stylish and up-to-the-minute with fashion.
