Varsity jackets and school uniforms

School in the UK is different from school in the US, for one you graduate earlier and have the opportunity to have a gap year before university - that would be thought of entirely differently in the US. But the biggest different I notice? Uniforms. All the school kids are in uniforms. I must say, the little boys look quiet dapper in them. It has brought back my appreciation of a simple v-neck sweater, yet, I don't have one. Recently though, from runway to high street I keep seeing varsity jackets. Some remind me of the old style, some have a newer leather edge, and other remind me of windbreakers from the 90s that I think my grandma still wears. It is a style I would love to wear; classic but unique. Makes me wish I was in Minnesota so I could steal my sisters old letter jacket!

Reminds me of a red plastic biker jacket I was in love with when I was about 10. I will always love anything shiny. Escada.

Classic baseball jacket, similar to todays varsity jackets. Topshop.
Would you have guessed this is Nike? An easy to wear take on the style.
