The warm sweater, which has been worn for centuries around the world and also known as a turtleneck, has a promising future for fashion lovers. Both men and women have worn this staple piece in winter in different ways while also combining various styles for years. From the 19th century on, the roll neck has been associated with academics, philosophers and intelligence.

Gangsters, jazz musicians and movie stars of the time were all rocking the pinstripe, including Al Capone and Cary Grant. The pinstripe has come a long way since then and has managed to lighten up the 20th century. Men are using the simple vintage look to bring a futuristic and sharp image to their styles. Paired with the perfectly tailored skinny slacks and the right shirt, pinstripe suits can give you the sophisticated Wall Street business man look your are aiming for. With shorter jacket lengths and innovative cuts to the suit in general, the pinstripe is making a fashion statement this year. Ranging from suits to jackets, slacks, ties, shirts and even socks, the pinstripe has become unavoidable, even for casual wear.Fashion is repeating itself. Dig through the depths of your closet to find the nostalgic pieces you want to rock this winter. Keep in mind, nothing says vintage like the original piece!
