Below: Further to my post yesterday on the 'Balmain Homme Varsity Jacket + Boots look'... Here's a little observation I made from Jak n Jil's New York Fashion Week street shots. During the recent New York Fashion week, I noticed not one but quite a few guys spotted with their Varsity jackets... Will this translate into a 'back to college' inclination to men's dressing soon? (I love his black and white version and creating a monotone colour story...even his bag is matching:-P)
Below: Varsity = college = young = colourful...
Below: A touch of soft pastel softens and surprise a usually 'jock-ish' look...
Below: Dandy touch with the cravat... style can start young, even when you are in 'college'...
Below: Stand out from the crowd with some eye popping colour...
Below: or Maroon and camel beige... Varsity Jackets is now on my style radar...
Below: Will Balmain Homme's Varsity jacket look from Fall Winter 2010 cause a wave of college inspired dressing? Only time will tell...
Below: Or have Prada SS2011's Varsity inspired leather shopping bags (customisation allowed for your initials) already herald the coming of those jocks and college chic?
Back To School: Varsity Jackets
I blogged about my inspiration of Varsity Jackets and boots yesterday. And today, I made a small observation browsing thru pictures taken by Jak and Jil, of guys during the recent New York Fashion Week.
Are these college inspired dressing rising in favour with guys? Will it blossom into a 'back to college' phenomenon in mens dressing soon? Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, I am loving every look and possibility from this 'jock style' dressing. Make it dandy with soft pastels and a nice cravat, get some American retro hip or tough it up with boots and some rebel attitude. Suffice to say, Varsity Jackets are now on my style radar.
What say you?

You can get a similar version of the maroon and camel varsity jacket from Gant Rugger by Christopher Bastin for FW 2010. I believe Michael Bastian for Gant did a black with white leather sleeve version of it too for FW 2010. Wonder if they still have them, but last I checked they were 50% off.
