How to Style the Letterman Jacket Trend
The worlds of high fashion and American sports collide in one of this season's biggest trends: the letterman jacket.
Even if you’ve long graduated from your high school’s varsity sports team, hopefully, you held onto your letterman jacket, because the sporty piece has once again made a triumphant return on the season's runways.
As seen on the runways, designers found inspiration in the classic American sportswear style, with Kim Jones and the late Virgil Abloh at Dior Men and Louis Vuitton putting their own spin on the bomber silhouette. Letterman jackets are a staple piece for vintage resellers and collectors alike, and for good reason, as they are known for being roomy, comfortable, and classic.
Though primarily seen on the men's runways so far, the varsity jacket suits just about anyone—blending right into a streetwear-heavy or vintage-inspired wardrobe, or adding a casual touch to more feminine pieces.
Whether you're wearing a t-shirt and jeans, matching sweats, or even a casual dress, throwing on a chic, oversized jacket before heading out the door is a simple outfit upgrade. Here, see how celebrities from Gigi Hadid to Rihanna are wearing one of this season's hottest fashion trends.
