pin-striped
With thin lines
Pin-striped describes fabric patterned with thin parallel lines, typically white or light-colored against a dark background.
The pattern is associated with formal business attire—pin-striped suits—and carries connotations of corporate power or old-money respectability.
In American baseball, the New York Yankees' iconic pin-striped uniforms have made the term synonymous with the franchise.
