The Pinstripe Suit

The pinstripe suit is the most basic suit pattern you can buy besides the solid suit. This type of pattern consists of vertical lines running throughout the suit jacket and pants.

These stripes are of medium width and thickness in comparison to their chalk striped suit and pencil striped suit counterparts. The pencil striped suits are thin and closely spaced while the chalk striped suits consist of thick striped.

The Pinstripe is by far the most popular striped suit and the term is often used as a blanket term for all striped suits.

You will find that men use this suit to look more formal and authoritative. This is the reason this suit is one of the first suits you should buy, especially when preparing for an interview.
