You may have heard about the listing of facebook this week, but did you know Mark Zuckerberg also go married?
Some of us were worried - not about the listing, but about his attire on his wedding day.
Don't forget, we've all seen Mark in his hoodies....
Well, the bride was Priscilla Chan and she wore a $4700 Claire Pettibone dress (no, I havent heard of this brand either), but he probably stole the limelight from her with people worried he was going to show up in a hoodie! After all, the guy goes to serious business meetings with investors in hoodies. Anything goes!
Thankfully he showed up in a suit - not the best fit & look, but a matched suit....
They got married in his back yard which I think is quite lovely.
Thinking about hoodies and how Mark would wear one even to the most important business meetings - I did some looking around for hoodie type garments and found some executive versions - yup, executive hoodies!
in a grey pinstriped.....
in a glen plaid....
in a navy pin stripe....
Would you wear these to work on an ordinary business day?
How about a casual Friday?
Or are they too stiff for a casual Friday?
What about women? Why should they be left out? Well they arent. The company making the executive hoodies also makes them for women. Lucky us.
They dont have a proper photo - does that mean they havent actually made/sold any?
Hhmmm....
I actually remember about 10 years ago I owned a Covers (Australian brand, no longer in existence) tailored jacket in navy 100% wool crepe with a hoodie. It was cut beautifully & lined & I would have worn it in all but the most conservative of meetings, despite the hoodie. The hoodie was a single layer of crepe (no lining) - it wasnt the lined version in the above men's photos, which I think make it look more casual with the contrast fabric.
Maybe you'd prefer to wear a USA pant on casual Friday? Wonder if there is an Australia pant?......
or maybe a seersucker pant for high summer.....
finally there is the horizontal cordurory which is made by a US company & called the Cordaround!
The company states that the advantages of the cordaround are that it materially lowers crotch heat index as well as drag coefficient (ie: chaffing) compared to traditional vertically striped cords. Hhhmmmm.
There you have it.
The brand that sells these interesting clothes is:

So would you wear an executive hoodie to work?
