Alternatives To The Power Suit

As you might have noticed, there are fewer and fewer full suits walking around the halls of our corporate buildings today than ever before.

You might have heard of terms such as ‘business casual’ being flung around, and this really is one of the only alternatives to the authoritative power suit.

At AJAY Apparel, we love to stay ahead of the times with an interest in the ideal bespoke corporate dress code.

We see ourselves as thought leaders when it comes to men and women’s wear and love giving you the unique edge that you need to stay on your top game, especially in your power suit alternatives.

Here are two of our alternatives to the power suit straight from the AJAY workshop:

1. Softshell Jackets

Traditionally, the suit has been seen as a standard projection of authority in a corporate workspace. However, these days it has slowly dribbled in through the office doors as quite the opposite.

The concept of being ‘in control’ is now revealed when you can wear whatever you want in a position of power.

In a recent article, Zuckerberg was “put in a suit” according to fashion and culture historian, Deirdre Clemente. The article also mentions that the New York Times named it his, “I’m sorry suit.”

At AJAY, we love a good cardigan, sleeveless fleece, blazer or softshell jacket as an alternative to a suit. The basic softshell comes in different colours and can be branded.

The softshell is a more comfortable alternative to the suit that will keep you in a modern projection of control and authority while maintaining that fresh, smart appeal.

2. Chino Power

Casual Fridays have started to creep into our corporate every day, as men and women are opting for a more comfortable approach to a workday.

Chinos are one of our favourite alternatives to suit pants. They are far more comfortable and give the professional, authoritative look you need as well.

Our chinos are designed with polyester cotton twill. The blend of polyester and cotton makes our chinos stronger and more durable as well as a soft and comfortable texture.
