I have
never met a
varsity jacket that I didn’t love. Don’t attribute this
confession to an adoration of sports.
Quite the contrary, in fact. I don’t know a
football from a
foosball; and, if I’m
completely honest, I must admit that the only contact sport I’m truly
well-versed in is that of
sample sale shopping.
Nevertheless, since my
playground days, I have been
obsessed - ranking the varsity jacket right up there with
sparkling {faux} diamonds and brilliant books and
perfume packaged in pretty bottles. Lacking both
athletic prowess or a
boyfriend on the varsity team, however, essentially left my
cravings unsatisfied.
Until the design world was kind enough to
seemingly take pity on
un-sporty fashion folk
like moi - serving up scores of
glam pieces in
every color of the rainbow -
perfect for pairing with
pumps and skinnies or pleated leather minis for
Girls' Night Out.
I
stalked snagged a
Mint and Black marvel at
Forever 21 over the holidays
{which I am slowly wearing to death}; but now that I've spotted everyone from
Hanneli Mustaparta to
Taylor Swift to
Liv Tyler wearing their
ultra-covetable versions on the street, I'm thinking I may need to add
fifty a few more to my collection.
Go team?

I've also never been a sports person, but varsity jackets have always been an silent object of desire. They just find a way to brighten up an entire outfit, you gotta love them :)))
Some get them for being in debate and drama too. These are just so adorable. My grandmother had a cardigan from her school that was really cool.
These have a certain nostalgia.
Great post.
Awesome jackets and street style selections!
I think I need a varsity jacket in my life!

Really love these. Really cool. Now, I want one too.
I hadn't thought of a jacket like this. Lovely, post.
I could definitely use one in my wardrobe. Love these.
Love your mint and black one!
I have to be on the look out now.
Sweet post.
Definitely something I must look into. Love the look.
Definitely, on the look out for this kind of jacket now. Love the one you have.
Oh my word, how CUTE is T. Swift in her varsity jacket???
I am too old for this trend.. I love it, but it would be weird on me! Not that I am OLD old.. But let's face it, pushing 30 means that certain things are no longer an option.
I totally agree with you!! Those are awesome!
Loving the masculine/feminine combo here! Thanks for sharing :)
Happy Wednesday!

I love them... They always remind me of Grease the movie... Haha!
I love them too! I am kinda bummed I never got one in High School, I got my letter, but never bought the jacket. Would have came in handy right about now!
Oh I love those jackets! Great! Do you want to follow each other on gfc and fb? Kiss
I think this is SUCH a cute look -- love!

LOVE how Live rocked it with leather!
I absolutely LOVE varsity jackets. They look so amazing. I wish I had one that I could style.
Ooooh, I'm loving this trend!! It's the first I've seen of it (no surprises there though...) but you have got me hooked Erika! Shame it's a bit too hot here in Singas for jackets, otherwise I would be all over this!!
Oh heck, yes!! Varsity jackets rock my world!
love the leather skirt!

I have always wanted a Varsity Jacket. I have wore other people's but never have my own.
These are good finds!

I've always loved a varsity/sporty look too but I fear I'm not (quite) preppy enough! These pictures make them look pretty chic though.. maybe one of these days I'll be brave enough to try it.
