While we usually relate varsity jackets with jocks and scholarly athletes, this classic piece of Americana made its ways to the runways as early as last year’s fall season. And this upcoming fall, the collarless jacket with detailed cuffs and waistline still reigns as a favorable sporty alternative to your usual moto-style leather jacket. As opposed to last fall, when designers kept true to the jacket’s iconic silhouette and played with materials and embellishments instead, the varsity jacket’s palette remains dark (seen from designers like Jen Kao, Tibi, Rebecca Taylor, Vivienne Tam, and Lacoste) with navy and black hues.
