Mens Shadow Stripe Suit - Where They Can be Worn

Since selling Mens Fashion Suits is the primary way that we stay in business at ContempoSuits.com. Knowing what what kinds of suits that are current in style is a top priority. It's always important to know what cut,fit or lapel is the current look. One look that seems to stay the course of fashion men suits is the Shadow Stripe Suit. Shadow stripes refers to the woven tone on tone stripe look that gives the fabric a satin stripe look on a solid color suit. Usually the stripes will be no wider than 3/8ths of an inch but can vary from slightly wider to actual pinstripe thickness. Now this kind of look doesn't necessarily have to stick to stripes.

The shadow look can also come as windowpane or any other geometric pattern on the suit fabric. I've even seen paisley used as well to highlight the shadow look. Suits with shadow stripes can really only be worn for special occasions where a dressy appearance is necessary and never for an office business environment because the stripes have a satin like look to them. It's a brash look for a suit but not over the top looking where people will be stopping in their tracks to look at you. Suits made of the shadow type pattern can range from your standard fitting two piece suit to long jacket outrageous looking zoot suit.

Mens suits that come with shadow stripes are actually very elegant looking and in many ways and can mimic the tuxedo for formal wear. Satiny shadow stripes are definitely recommended for evening wear. A true after eight suit. You can wear a shadow striped suit in the same manor as a regular suit with the dress shirt and tie or even a satin dress shirt with the matching color tie. Use a little creativity and you'll start wearing more suits and having more fun wearing suits.
