6 Varsity Jackets to Upgrade Your Fall Wardrobe
Your favorite high school accessory has made an elevated comeback.
Varsity jackets—also known as the letterman—have been a staple of American fashion for decades. We are used to seeing varsity jackets as a badge of honor, from John Travolta in Grease to Chris Evans in Not Another Teen Movie. However, street style trendsetters have given the trend a reworked look, styling the jacket with everyday looks and leaning into the oversized nature of the piece. L'OFFICIEL rounds up all the best designer varsity jackets to keep you warm this fall.
