Trend: Black and White Pinstripes.

The '80s pinstripe is back and better than ever. This versatile pattern is on the rise again because it looks good with...well, pretty much everything. A pinstripe pencil skirt (like this great Tahari one) with an oversized cropped sweater? Of course. A striped pinstripe blouse  with a boyfriend blazer? Yes, please. Side bar: I'm obsessed with this one from CAMIXA. What about a ruffled pinstripe dress over a mock neck sweater? Well, don't mind if I do. Pinstripes feel contemporary teamed with your favorite fall accessories like suede ankle boots and a black felt hat.

There are so many options for this timeless classic this season and they're nothing like the stuffy, boring pinstriped suits that used to make their way down Wall St. More relaxed and modern than ever, they're a great addition to your closet all year round. The difference in this effortless trend is in the cut and details.
