pinstripe definition and meaning

What is "pinstripe"?

Pinstripe is a thin stripe pattern that is commonly used in men's suits and other formal wear. The stripes are typically made up of very thin lines, usually no more than a few millimeters wide, and are spaced apart by a similar distance. Pinstripe patterns can vary in color, but they are most commonly seen in shades of blue, gray, and black. The pinstripe pattern is often used to create a slimming effect on the wearer, as the vertical lines can make the body appear taller and leaner. Pinstripe patterns can also add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any garment and are a popular choice for business attire, as well as for more formal occasions like weddings and black-tie events.
