Collegiate Americana style has infiltrated wardrobes across the globe. Varsity jackets are the latest preppy item to hold influence beyond the soccer pitch, as seen on show-goers in Copenhagen and on the catwalks in Paris.Varsity jackets were out in full force at the autumn/winter 2022 shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris – models and attendees favoured colourful vintage styles, adorned with playful badges and appliqués.
The styles on rotation aren’t exactly a departure from the green and grey Philadelphia Eagles jacket that sported on several occasions in the ’90s. It was reportedly a gift from Jack Edelstein – a friend of Grace Kelly’s and, crucially, a long-standing statistician for the American football team.Long before the recent hype, the late Virgil Abloh made eye-catching varsity bombers his signature.
Diana, Princess of Wales wore a green and grey Philadelphia Eagles jacket on several outings in the ’90s.Abloh explored collegiate references during his tenure at Louis Vuitton, too. Varsity jacket styles from his previous LV collections fetch impressive resale prices on sites like Grailed and Stock X: a racer green jacket from autumn/winter 2021 is available for upwards of £8,000 and his blue “Wizard of Oz” style is listed at £11,000 and above.
