Day Birger Hedi Trouser in Grey Pinstripe

Pinstripes without the boardroom. Much more our department.

The Day Birger et Mikkelsen Hedi Trouser in Grey Pinstripe takes classic tailoring and makes it feel relaxed, modern and infinitely more wearable.

The grey pinstripe gives you just enough pattern to make a simple outfit interesting, while still behaving like a neutral. They’re polished, yes—but the trick is not to make them too polished.

These are trousers to wear with trainers and knitwear, not a briefcase.

Why they made the cut

• The pinstripe gives classic grey tailoring a cooler, more contemporary edge.
• They’re a brilliant alternative when you’ve worn your jeans three days running. Again.
• Grey works beautifully with black, white, cream, burgundy and chocolate brown.
• Dress them up with loafers or heels, or completely change the mood with trainers.
• They make the simplest tee or knit suddenly look like you’ve thought about your outfit. You don’t need to tell anyone otherwise.

How we’d wear them…

With the Day Sindi Soft Lamb Jumper in Dark Grey Melange and trainers for an easy tonal look, or with a simple white tee, black belt and loafers.

We’d also add a black bomber or oversized blazer to keep the tailoring feeling relaxed.

And please don’t make the pinstripe too sensible. Sleeves pushed up, slightly slouchy knit, great sunglasses.

We’re styling it for lunch, not a quarterly review.

Care

Tailoring benefits from a little restraint when it comes to washing. Air and steam between wears and dry clean where recommended on the care label. Hang carefully on a trouser hanger to help maintain the shape and avoid over-pressing—the look should stay modern rather than overly formal.

Good tailoring shouldn’t make you feel corporate. It should make everything else you’re wearing look better. These understood the assignment.
