Whether in a high school hallway, on a college campus, or coming down the runway, the "too cool for school" look has been revamped. Gone are the days when wearing a varsity jacket was a status symbol for the elite athletes in school or a badge of honor for a girl to show off that she and her boyfriend are "going steady."The fashion world has taken note of the prep school style over the years and it is no surprise that "collegiate chic" is the must have look this fall.
The varsity jacket has emerged as a fashion staple; both fashion forward and versatile. The athletic inspired outwear can be dressed up or down, reflecting traditional school colors or sophisticated tones. For a casual look, the two toned jacket can be paired with a dark shade of skinny jeans and flats. For a more polished outfit, pants with a higher waist or a flirty black dress and a statement shoe will create a sexy yet chic style.
Free People is offering up some sporty prep options this fall with its wool jacket and double breasted snap button front. Rag & Bone offers the varsity leather jacket at Shopbop and Urban Outfitters knocks one out of the park with their version by byCorpus.
How would you wear it?
