Betabrand, sellers of 'Dress Pant Sweatpants,' has debuted the 'Executive Pinstripe Hoodie,' another business-meets-casual wardrobe staple. Sure to get through dress code loopholes, this is a comfortable take on the often-stuffy wardrobe that defines the corporate world.
The sweatshirt features surprisingly high-quality merino wool, and sports a number of suit-like touches that elevate the casual piece to quasi-executive standards. Betabrand's website has an elaborate feature on the product, and is very tongue-in-cheek. Eliciting inevitable references to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's ever-present casual attire, this comedic piece of clothing is almost meme-worthy in its viral potential.
The cost of corporate comfort comes at a much higher than an average weekend hoodie, ringing in at $148. For those who prioritize coziness over style, however, the Executive Pinstripe Hoodie may be priceless.
