Martina Cherry, an in-house stylist at fashion platform endource, has shared her thoughts on the trending print along with a few ways to style it this spring/summer!
“Pinstripe is a classic print, most often associated with men’s business attire. However, in recent years it has been reinvented as a versatile style that can be dressed up or down. Last year we saw flower prints take centre stage, but this year is the year of the pinstripe.”
There are many ways to style this trend, and Martina is here to explain how!

Tops
“Let’s start from the top, opting for a pinstripe blouse, like this one from Mango. This would work perfectly paired with a neutral pair of jeans and some classic loafers for a go-to work look. If you are looking for something a bit more casual, opt for a relaxed, oversized pinstripe top paired with classic trainers.”
Trousers/Shorts
“Now, let’s talk bottoms. Whether you want a tailored fit, like these grosgrain detailed ones from Karen Millen, or a more relaxed, baggy look, there is something for everyone. Pair your pinstripe trousers with a fitted bodysuit or vest with an ankle strap heel for a sophisticated summer look.”
“If you’re going for something more laidback, pinstripe shorts look effortlessly chic with a simple tank top or oversized shirt, paired with some strappy sandals or crisp white sneakers.”

Accessories
“Tailor the look to your personal style by adding accessories. For a preppy feel, opt for a dainty pinstripe headband or scrunchie. These little touches make a big difference and elevate your outfit. A lightweight pinstripe scarf looks great wrapped around your neck or tied onto your bag and is perfect for introducing a hint of pinstripe to an outfit.”
