The line of wetsuits come from surf and snowboarding retailer Quiksilver Japan and resemble actual smart business attire.

Supposedly designed to be as effective in a meeting as they are on a board, the suit is constructed from a combination of 2mm jersey neoprene and lightweight water repellent fabric. 

The clothing hybrid features a jacket, trousers, a shirt, as well as a choice of a neck tie or a bow, depending on the glamour of the occasion.

Quiksilver are set to release three styles including office smart, casual Friday and party tuxedo, to cater to all levels of business attire.

In a press release, the retailer has explained the idea behind the suit: 'It is possible to traverse the office and beaches without changing clothes, in this high-performance waterproof wetsuit.'

In a promotional video, a handsome Japanese business man is seen driving to work in his car, weighing up the possibility of hitting the waves before work. 

He walks out of his car straight onto the beach with surfboard under arm, and leaps straight into the water.

After pulling some action shots - and catching the eye of an intrigued female surfer - he gets straight back into his car and heads to his business meeting.
