Just as Suit style, fit and color, Suit patterns are also important. There are 4 main suit designs to consider: solid, pinstripe, windowpane and check patterns.Solid: Solid Suits consist of one color with no built in patterns. These suits must differentiate themselves with pocket, lapel, button, and vent style. They are safe and neutral for all situations.
Pinstripe: These suits have vertical lines of color evenly spaced throughout the suit. These stripes of color can differ in thickness depending on the designer’s vision. Pinstripes give the wearer a more authoritative look.
Window Pane: Window pane suits have either a rectangular or square pattern throughout the suit. This is created with the use of widely spaced horizontal and vertical stripes. These suits are more stylish compared to the previous models.
Check Patterns: The check patterned suit is similar to the window pane suit with one exception. This suit has every other square or rectangle filled with horizontal lines. You can wear this suit as one of your more trendy stylish versions.
Plaid: The plaid suit is a type of check patterned suit. It is of higher cost due to its type of tailoring and material.
