Many trends that come onto our radar, we see on the runways prior to the commencing of the seasons (take 'no trousers' and the colour red for example) but often, sartorial icons gravitate towards styles out of nowhere.

Pinstriped tailoring is the first AW23 trend that we did not see coming (though of course, it's a classic pattern), and the fashion set is showing us multiple ways to style it right now.

Emma Corrin, Naomi Campbell and the Princess of Wales

The Princess of Wales wore a pinstripe suit with statement gold buttons twice in one week, from equestrian label Holland Cooper. Naomi Campbell wore the chicest double-breasted jacket and wide-leg trousers set with a simple black base layer at the V&A museum, whilst Emma Corrin proved their fashion prowess at the Miu Miu show, wearing an oversized blazer with tailored latte-hued trousers and the coolest autumnal Hawaiian shirt.

Out of the spotlight and onto street style, the VIPs during the SS24 fashion month blanketed the fashion show sidelines with pinstripes -  from shorts to waistcoats, dresses to bomber jackets, but all in classic hues of black, navy and grey.
