    When I think of pinstripes I always think of boring business suits, but these looks are great. I love how the designers changed the dimensions by altering the thickness of the stripes. The no-iron Brooks Brothers shirt is a staple in my closet...great for summer too! I love the Gucci pansuit, as well as the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania pieces. The Elizabeth and James Jagger jacket is sensational!
