Are Pinstriped Black Suits appropriate?

Written by Kirk, Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 in Q&As

Does a grey cobnservative thin pinstripe italien cut suit, cut the mustard as a staple dress suit. I have a black stripe waistcoat for underneath and traditional English style shirt and cufflinks in both white andd a lilac matching the lining.

Yep. So long as it actually fits you (i.e. is it properly tailored), you are in good shape for most things I can think of offhand. Having a waistcoat is nice as well, and the English style shirt is also a nice flourish. It’s always difficult to tell you a definite yes or no (obviously because we have no idea what it looks like other than your description), but so long as you have a few different shirts/ties you can wear with it, you are in good shape.

    In my own defense, he provided none. I want to answer the question, but I’m incredibly limited. I plan to replace this with a better one in a bit.

    Well culturedness does not comprise poor spelling and incomplete information in questions.
