Stripes have made a major comeback in 2018, only this time they’re at 90o. You read that right. Vertical stripes in shirts and suits are menswear apparel’s go-to design now. To avoid looking like Pennywise the Clown, stick to straight and narrow single stripes. This sure is a stripy season! - Denim
