When it comes to mens suit fashion, one fabric trend always seems to stay popular. The shadow stripe suit. Shadow stripe suits are crafted of fabric where the stripes are actually made when the suit fabric is woven in a drop needle design causing the shadow stripes. The shadow stripes are a tone on tone color design that seems to keep one part of the stripe matte and the part of the stripe slightly shiny. Many people who like their suits also refer to the fabric as the Tone on tone stripe. You will find suits in this type of fabric in many colors and stripe thicknesses as well as the style of the suit itself. Now shadow stripe suits are never for business because they are usually for dress suits,ie: church, weddings, parties, and going out.


Shadow stripe suits can have stripes that run from 3/8ths of an inch wide to even a 1/16th inch thick pinstripe depending on the fabric design. The most popular shadow stripe is usually the wider design in fashion suits due to the bold stripe. The wider stripe gives the suit almost a tuxedo-type of look because it has these larger shadow stripes on them. With a little creativity, you could wear this type of suit as a tuxedo as long as you dress it up as a tuxedo. This type of shadow stripe suit is primarily a fashion suit.
