They aren't as flexible as something like this pattern because they are only vertical, if that makes sense?

That one in particular is cool b/c of how flexible it is directionally & color wise.
Im talking about to the office 😂
Yeah Im saying a windowpane pattern is a lot better than pinstripe b/c of flexibility.
Pinstripe is still relevant. Not a lot people can pull it off that’s why it is rare. If you want to wear pinstripe. Means you have your game at 💯 or you better get it 💯. Or risk looking like a pimp/WoWS wannabe/London bois.
In my view - pinstripe is really dressed up so you will either look like an idiot if wearing it with a shirt & Tie, or you need to dress it down a bit which is innapropriate for business. In addition to the tough to wear as just described you need a perfect fit else you will look really out of shape / drowning in the suit.
So all in it's not only tough to wear and style but it's also tough to have a "good" one.
I think the pinstripe suit is very hard to pull off, and it's not for a junior banker. If you really want something that is patterned, I'd look for weak patterns/micropatterns if you want something that stands out a little more.
In my opinion, you can get a lot of variation by having suits of different wool quality, such as a range of 110s-130s, which have different feels. A patterned suit should be for your fourth or fifth suit, and I would suggest sticking to a more conservative wardrobe during your analyst years.
I love pinstripe suits but wouldn't dare wear it in work bc I'm a junior.
I think what you mean is herringbone (light lines) as opposed to pinstripe. Even with the lighter touch, no it's pretty rare that people wear that.
No.
No, no, and once more no.
Yeah I've seen the classic pinstripe but it was on senior bankers who grew up in the Drexel/DLJ/Shearson firms. For some reason they always stuck to that boxy suit with a pajama look.
All the newer MDs are more about the nice cleaner suits with no special stripes or stitching on the lapels.
