Styling an ultra-chic suited look in the summer can be particularly tricky, especially when you're contending with humidity, heat, and everything in between. While the promise of cooler days ahead has us ready to dig out our boots, sleek leather jackets, and favorite blazers, the summer warmth is likely to linger well into September, so in the mean time, transitional style it is. Eager as we may be to jump into the latest Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trends, these few weeks present a unique opportunity to lean into tried-and-true styles and put an ultra-chic spin on them. 

This season, the look taking over street style and red carpets alike is the classic pinstripe. Polished, playful, and contemporary, all of our favorite style icons are embracing this look in a variety of different ways. 

Ahead of a public appearance earlier in August, Halle Berry stepped out in Manhattan embodying the city's innate ultra-cool, effortlessly chic energy in a pinstripe vest and matching trousers to boot. Accompanying her It girl look, The Union actress donned a pair of over-sized sunnies to beat the NYC heat and a pair of platform peep toe heels.
