Since the
days of Madonna kicking ass on stage in her pinstripe suit complete with
protruding cones and Kate Moss coolly modeling an over-sized pinstripe blazer
with vest in the 90's, Pinstripe has had a rough ride, finding itself on dated
celebrities and as a part of all sorts of questionable
ensembles of noughties. But thanks to Rihanna, Karlie Kloss and Co it's back to it's bad-ass
best.
Stella Mccartney brought pinstripe up to date and made it wearable again by
treating it to some laid-back tailoring for her Autumn Winter 2013 collection
and Balmain featured a pinstripe dungaree dress with classic white shirt in it’s
Spring Summer 2014 show.
Since then bloggers and fashionistas alike have made any
images of ill fitting pinstripe suits a very distant memory by mixing pinstripe
with modern cuts and at Paris Fashion Week, Karlie Kloss matched Balmain pinstripe
trousers with a white shirt and jacket, making pinstripe a choice for
sophisticated power dressing once again.
Showing that the professional print is
here to stay, Rihanna stepped out in West Hollywood today, giving the banking/gangster inspired look a typically individual stamp of approval by teaming a white
pinstripe blazer with denim shorts and Manolo Blahnik heels.
