Urban fashion | Looking to create a standout outfit? I styled this wide-leg metallic jean from Zara (which is available on my Linktree) with a varsity jacket—an iconic piece you might already have in your wardrobe!
Varsity jackets, also known as letterman jackets, were born in 1865 at Harvard University, where the baseball team introduced a wool jacket with leather sleeves and a bold "H" embroidered on the chest. Originally, these jackets were awarded to top athletes as a symbol of distinction. Soon, other universities adopted the tradition, and the jackets became symbols of both academic and athletic achievement.
