Trend Alert: The New Power Suit

March 20, 2018

There was a time when “wearing a suit to work” meant everyone wore the same corporate-inspired outfit, with a traditional coat and slacks. But big changes are sweeping across offices around the world and suits are part of that change.

Generations are mixing in office environments and technology is advancing, so it’s only natural we are redefining what it means to “go to work.” In today’s working world, many individuals find themselves increasingly working “out of the office” which means we are in need of rebooting the office wardrobe to fit this ever-changing office landscape.

Instead of selecting items that a team “has to wear” look for options that everyone will want to wear both in and out of the office. The new power suit can include hybrid sport apparel items to keep up with the popular Athleisure trend that incorporates sporty, comfortable styles. Hoodies and tees are replacing the suit and tie as everyday wear for CEOs and extra-soft, cotton hand-feel fabrics elevate core wardrobe essentials.

As technology continues to evolve right alongside the workforce, don’t forget the importance of photo-worthy apparel. Employees love to choose unique looks they can photograph and share on social media.

It can be challenging to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape of corporate attire. We are here to help you stay up to date on trends at The Style Network.
