Get Fashion Fit With This Season’s Sport-Inspired Varsity Trend
From rugby tops and polo shirts to track pants and bomber jackets, sporty collegiate style is everywhere right now. Here’s all you need to embrace the laid-back SS25 varsity trend…
If you’re after super chilled fashion, then you’ve found the trend for you. Big on the catwalks at Off-White, Baum & Pferdgarten, and Miu Miu, this ‘track and field’ look normally reserved for the pitches is all about letter jackets, slouchy track pants, stripey polos, and football jerseys. It’s easygoing, yet thanks to designers, it’s so very fashion.
It leans into that all-American varsity style with preppy perfection. Look out for baseball jackets worn with loafers, crisp shirts paired with track pants and cricket jumpers tied around shoulders. Unsurprisingly, Free People is the place to shop for sporty fashion – I’m loving the retro team shirts and oversized sweatshirts. If there was ever an excuse to stay in your comfies, this is it.
Scandi brands appear to be 100% on board with the athletic vibes. Baum & Pferdgarten’s latest collection is even called Office Olympics, while Ganni opted for lace-up boots and tops emblazoned with numbers.
Most at home with preppy-inspired clothing is obviously Ralph Lauren with its rugby shirts and instantly recognisable polos. But if you’re after a more budget-friendly alternative, 4th & Reckless has you covered.
For those side-striped joggers—which are everywhere—head to Adidas for the originals or opt for equally cool iterations from Me+Em, Anthropologie, or The Upside. Style up with a blazer to keep it sleek.
