The 2025 Met Gala may be over, but the night’s biggest trend has just begun.

Yes, I’m talking about the array of pinstripes that were spotted up and down the red carpet throughout the course of the night. Of course, there was Demi Moore, who showcased a black-and-white striped Thom Browne gown that had a knot detailing and a sculptural wrap that hovered dramatically behind her head. Then there was Alicia Keys, who coordinated with husband Swizz Beatz in matching red and black striped pantsuits. Oh, and we can’t forget the men of the night either. Patrick Schwarzenegger wore an oversized pinstripe suit, and so did Jeremy Allen White, who opted for a navy three-piece suit with subtle stripes for his Met debut.

The bottom line is, pinstripes are about to be everywhere, and to get you started on the action, I’ve rounded up five different styles that will totally transform your closet.

A little vest to impress? Don’t mind if I do! Chic and modern, it provides the perfect base for layering tops underneath for a different look, but still stands out enough to be worn by itself. “I love how elevated this vest looks. Looks great with jeans for a summer look! Flattering for curvy girls,” writes one shopper, which is enough to send me to the checkout.

This eye-catching mini dress is a must with its flattering fit and elegant tailoring. A sophisticated ensemble that can work for many occasions, it features a  double-breasted and collared design that really emphasizes its halter neck crafting. Made with a blend of polyester and elastane, the material is soft, stretchy and breezy enough to keep you cool this season.

Every gal needs at least one good double-breasted blazer in her closet, and I personally recommend giving this one from Loft a try. Not only is it 30 percent off, but it’s also the perfect summertime staple thanks to its lightweight linen construction. Per the brand, it features a notched lapel, a welt chest pocket and a front flap pockets that give everything you need in a traditional blazer.

Trendy? Check! Timeless versatile design? Check! Currently being snatched up by buyers as we speak? Check! Aside from its svelte construction, these pants come in three different lengths (short, regular and long), and feature a partially elasticated waistband that can be adjusted to achieve your desired fit.

If you’re on the hunt for a staple that’ll check the comfort and style boxes, this button down is the solution. It’s easy to pair with high-waisted jeans or skirts, and you can wear it with heels or sneakers depending on if you’re in a dressy or casual mood. Reviewers also rave about its comfort, fit and versatility, and say it runs true-to-size: “I absolutely love the Gleeivy Women's Striped Button Down Shirt! It’s a perfect blend of stylish and comfortable, making it a go-to for my casual streetwear looks. The fabric feels great against the skin, and the slim fit design is flattering without being too tight,” writes one. Oh, and did I mention it’s available in over 16 colors?
