As is the case with many other longstanding menswear pieces we’ve spoken about before, the varsity jacket has also undergone a ton of tweaks and transformations over the years; Traditionally the varsity jacket – also known as a letterman jacket – features a boiled wool body, cow leather sleeves, banded wrists and waistband and an appliqué varsity letter or logo on the left breast.However, in recent years designers have experimented with fabrics, cuts and designs to give the varsity a more contemporary appeal away from it’s traditionally boxy fit.Similarly, these changes to the original style allow for it to be styled both smartly and casually, depending on the occasion.So whether you’re an avid wearer of the varsity jacket, or you’ve had your eye on one and want to know how to style it for an casual wear.

Well I am wearing the letterman jacket from Basic-029 with a Grey denim from Jack&Jones teaming this with a white cotton T-shirt from Forever21men and White Canvas Shoe -Converse.

Varsity Jacket! after getting into it I realized how perfect it actually was.One can wear that anywhere and in any season ,pair it up with some denims,shorts or even chinos.The jacket is a showstopper,supersleek and minimal.

This jacket from Basics isn’t overtly preppy in the way so many ‘trendy’ varsity jackets tend to be. It isn’t too designed or complicated, or even annoyingly look-at-me-ish. Instead it’s 100% wearable.

A wardrobe essential is born…
