How To Style Varsity Jacket

No matter what you got underneath, a varsity jacket (or “letterman jackets”) can complement any outfit. Best of all, any gender can rock it. 

So, whether you’re a babe or stud, find eight ways on how to style a varsity jacket. You’ll be looking fly in no time!  

How to Style Varsity Jacket for Females

Depending on what look you’re going for, here are five different styles for the gals to make the most out of their varsity jacket: 

1.The Classic Look

That’s right, ladies; to start with is the classic style of good ol’ denim jeans with a white tank. Throw on a varsity jacket and you’ll enter any room looking hip and retro. If you’re going somewhere casual for drinks, pull out some colorful heels to spice up your look. 

2.The Elegant Look

Got a nice semi-formal dress you’ve been meaning to wear? A bit chilly out? Then mix n’ match with a casual varsity jacket that can offset any fancy outfit. 

Slide into an elegant and flowing dress with the varsity jacket casually hanging over your shoulders like you could care less. Soon enough, all eyes might just be on you!

3.The Party-Ready Look

Who says varsity jackets are meant for only school and football games? They can be thrown on your sexy clubbing outfit for a night on the town. Got high-knee boots to go with that too? Then wear it with a cute pencil skirt and your favorite blouse. 

If it’s breezy out, you won’t only be comfortable but also looking rather fly. 

4.The Casual and Chic Look

It’s just a step down from number 2 but an outfit combining a varsity jacket and plain skirt with your favorite tee all screams “cool girl.” Rather than heels, consider nice sandals, ankle boots, or low-heeled shoes with an open toe. 

The ability to mix two different styles might make you the best fashionista among your friends! 

5.The Lazy Look

Even for an errand run or a trip to the mall, the varsity jacket never fails! Pull it off the hangers to add over your comfy trousers with a tank top. Boost your appearance with simple hoop earrings but dodge those loafers and instead, pop on those Jordans and shades. 

You’ll be cruising through town laying low and at your most comfortable. 

How to Style Varsity Jacket For Males

It’s no surprise that many would traditionally perceive the varsity jacket as for males. Given its typical baggy sleeves and relaxed fit, men can pull off that “jock” look without hesitation. Here’s how to style varsity jackets for males. 

6.The Classic Look

You might just get the nickname “James Dean” if you rock skinny denim, a casual buttoned shirt, and a snug-fitted varsity jacket. The timeless male style that combines edgy urban with a clean-cut feel can become your daily look. 

Plus, consider also a plaid shirt. The plain outfit underneath especially works with a contrasting colorful varsity jacket. 

7.The Sharp Look 

Keep it sharp and classy with a men-style varsity jacket, black trousers, a plain tee, and polished black shoes. Whether it’s a date night or to an office party, heads might just turn as you walk in looking not too underdressed, not too overdressed. 

8.The Cool Casual Look 

Combining your varsity jacket next with white denim or a pair of light colored pants will give off a more ‘casual cool’ vibe. For shoes, find a pair of neutral-colored sneakers, such as beige or light brown, to complement a dark jacket. 

If you like traveling in style, let it be on a flight or car trip with friends, walk down the streets like you own it. 

9.The ‘Bad Boy’ Look

Depending on your usual confidence, this jock-type outerwear can make many men seem slick and rebellious as any jock or James Dean. Match the jacket with hip-hop trainers, sweatpants or skinny pants, and any kind of tee. 

On top of that, slap on a backwards baseball cap if you got one!  

10.The Lazy Look

Just like gals, the guys can also get away with a letterman coat, a basic tee, and some basketball shorts. We’ve seen an increasing number of students in particular making this casual Friday an ‘everyday’ kind of style because for the lads, it’s just so darn comfy! 

Strap on some high knee socks and sandals, then you got yourself a “I’m too cool for school” deal. 

So, what do you think? With 10 different variations of how to style a varsity jacket, men and women will help to bring back the nostalgic retro style mix with a modern edge. Not to mention, you’ll never have to think again about donating an integral part of your senior year.
