alternative

⚠️ The trap
Mostly the same, but in Italian 'alternativo' very strongly connotes the counter-culture, hippie, or bohemian lifestyle. Saying 'una soluzione alternativa' sounds fine for an alternative solution, but the word alone often conjures the lifestyle connotation.
To say "available as another choice; unconventional" in Italian:
N/A (mostly the same)
"alternativo" in English means:
alternative; unconventional, counter-culture
Example
"Ha uno stile di vita molto alternativo."
"He has a very alternative lifestyle."
