EMBRACING THE RETURN OF PINSTRIPES

Once reserved for the boardroom, pinstripes are officially having a moment. From Paris to New York, this timeless pattern is dominating the runways, reinterpreted through modern silhouettes and unexpected styling. Designers are embracing pinstripes not only as a nod to classic tailoring but as a symbol of strength, sophistication, and individuality.

This surge in popularity marks a larger shift in fashion: a return to refined structure with personality. Gone are the days when pinstripes were purely utilitarian — today, they’re sharp, feminine, and anything but predictable.

The Met Gala Seal of Approval

The 2025 Met Gala, themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," cemented pinstripes as a trend to watch. Celebrities like Teyana Taylor, Zendaya, Nicki Minaj, and Janelle Monáe embraced the theme with bold, reimagined suiting — many in standout pinstripe looks. Their interpretations ranged from sharply tailored to deconstructed and dramatic, proving that this classic motif can be powerful, expressive, and deeply personal. Centre Piece's pinstripe suit and tuxedo shirt made a red carpet appearance this week, worn by Anika Reed, Senior Editor at USA Today, as seen in the first photo below.

Centre Piece’s Take on Tailored Pinstripes

At Centre Piece, we’ve long believed in the quiet strength of tailoring. Our Rocky Pinstripe Blazer and Walker Pinstripe Trouser are designed to echo the confidence of classic menswear, reimagined through a modern, sculptural lens.

• Rocky Pinstripe Blazer: With its strong shoulders, cinched waist, and clean lines, this hourglass blazer blends structured tailoring with subtle curves, creating a striking, feminine silhouette.
• Walker Pinstripe Trouser: A mid-rise, relaxed fit trouser made to move with you — versatile enough for day-to-night, refined enough to feel elevated every time you wear it.

Together, these pieces offer a new take on suiting: bold, wearable, structure. 

Styling Tips

To channel these recent trends, consider pairing the Rocky Pinstripe Blazer with the Walker Pinstripe Trouser for a cohesive look. We also love the Eden Scarf Top layered underneath the blazer in black and vanilla. Accessorize with bold elements like statement jewelry, neck ties or patterned tights.
