How To Choose Pinstripe Trousers

Hello, my name is Anita Feron-Clark http://feronclarkstyle.com/. I work freelance as an image consultant in association with Colour Me Beautiful http://www.colourmebeautiful.co.uk/ and today we're going to talk about various trousers. Having pinstripe trousers in your wardrobe just gives you a little more choice.

You can have solid colors in trousers, but having a pinstripe just adds another dimension to your wardrobe. When you choose a pinstripe trouser, think about your height. If you are petite, which is 5'3" and below, always choose a pinstripe that's quite discreet and which isn't too wide.

For instance, this is a great pinstripe for someone who is petite. It almost looks like a semi-plain. If you're quite tall, you can go for the bolder pinstripes with more contrast and with a wider setting.

So, if you're 5'6" and over, something like this is a great pinstripe. It's bold and can easily be worn by someone who is tall. Most body shapes can wear pinstripe trousers.

However, if you are a triangle shape, you don't really want to wear a pinstripe that draws the attention to your widest part so think about wearing a plain or a semi-plain trouser on your bottom half if you are a triangle because it's all about drawing attention to your torso. Commonly, pinstripe trousers tend to be for work or for smart wear. You don't really get pinstripe trousers in casual trousers.

So, in summary, pinstripe trousers can be worn by all body shapes but if you're carrying a bit of extra weight on your bottom half and you're more of a triangle shape, avoid really bold pinstripes, because you want to try to draw the attention upwards. Also, pinstripes tend to be more formal in appearance and lend themselves really well to work wear or smart casual wear. .
