The classic American college jacket has become a staple for fashion lovers, varsity jacket has become a fashion trend on fashion week’s street style and runways.
As preppy style looks are the trend of the season from sweater vests to mini skirts, the varsity jacket is also part of this peppy style trend. They come in leather, nylon, wool, or a combination of leather and other fabric, cropped, oversized, and in various colour ways.
Showgoers at Copenhagen and the autumn-winter 2022 runways showed off this trend and wore it in various ways including during London, New York, Milan, and Paris fashion week. Thanks to designers like off-white who featured this new style staple on its runway, showcasing how sportswear can be incorporated with couture, including occasion wear. Versace, Givenchy, and Burberry all played with this preppy fashion piece on their spring-summer 2022 runway.
A varsity jacket can easily be styled with your favourite baggy cargo trousers, baggy jeans, joggers, mini skirt, and maxi skirt including your favourite knitted midi dress. For example, take a pair of baggy cargo trousers and a white tank top with a varsity jacket on top, then finish the look with a pair of pumps and an oversized clutch bag and you are ready for any special occasion, dress the same look down with a pair of loafers and a cross body bag and you’re ready for a casual day running errands and meeting friends for a drink.
Varsity jackets are so versatile in use and functionality, that they can be part of an everyday look or an elevated look. Finally, now that fashion week will be starting this September which is part of the late Summer and early Autumn season, be rest assured that investing in one or two varsity jackets to complete your look and keep warm during the indecisive weather months will be a great rescue for you at the shows.
When it comes to buying habits, I will suggest investing in one luxury version for special occasions and social life, and a high street version for casual days and work and these two should be enough for the few weeks in the Autumn season.
