Everyone I Know With Demure or Elegant Taste Has This Classic Trend Hanging in Their Wardrobe
By Natalie Munro,

Once found in only the most serious of boardrooms, this season the pinstripe trend has had a high-fashion reinvention and stylish people all over the place are paying attention. No longer seen as "serious" or "stiff", the print has broken through its own glass ceiling, offering a fresh and versatile piece that can elevate your daily wares and outfits in a flash.

From blazers, to waistcoats, to trousers and skirts, the pinstripe trend has been catapulted onto all of the chicest silhouettes this season. Offering a polished and elegant alternative to other prints (cough, florals, cough), fashion people are integrating the print into the wardrobes at pace this autumn.
Nearly a neutral as it's most often found on versatile shades of black, grey and navy, this subtle print easier to style than you might have imagined. Juxtapose its formal energy by pairing a pinstripe trouser with a graphic tee, or look for matching separates for a look that any fashion person will commend you for.

Already a staple in the wardrobe rotations of those I look to for style inspiration, Alexa Chung has wholeheartedly embraced the pinstripe trend this season—I've seen her style it to red carpet events and off-duty occasions alike. Take inspiration from Chung and layer pinstripe with a chunky knit to soften the striking print and take it into the cooler months.

Peppering the autumn/winter 2024 runway collections the pinstripe trend cropped up in runway shows including Remain, Simone Rocha, Sacai, and Ami. Individually interpreted by designers, Simone Rocha debuted pinstripe suits with fur embellishments and bow accessories, whilst Remain sent down chic skirt sets that I haven't been able to stop thinking about.

An enduring print that has ebbed in and out of style for decades, the runways predict that this autumn will be a huge year for the underrated print. To give the style a 2024 twist opt for a three-piece suit and accessorise with an oversized clutch. Or, give your look a relaxed, undone energy and pair a pinstripe dress with biker boots and style with a large bomber jacket.

More than just a chic pattern, this clever print draws the eye up, elongating the body—pinstripes tend to be positioned vertically, after all.
