We've all seen it in the movies, the Letterman jacket was a powerful piece of clothing - uniting sports teams, creating cliques, and defining relationships!
And recently the preppy, old school 'varsity' look has been made popular in the fashion realm. The industry very cleverly took something old and made it new.
But to be honest I was never really drawn to the style. I found it hard to match the big jacket, basketball jersey or baseball cap with my everyday wardrobe! Even when big celebrities like Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora took on the sports style, I still wasn't convinced.
As I was flicking through this weeks Sunday Times Style magazine I was so happy to see the U.S sport style being used in a more relate-able fashion. Here are some photos that featured in the magazine on Sunday;
They really took sportswear and made it their own, changing my opinion completely!
In the left photo - I love how they matched a plain Nike sports top with the patterned midi skirt and a colourful clutch creating the perfect stylish lunching outfit.
In the middle photo - A great day-to-day outfit worn to college or hanging out with friends. I like how the Adidas jersey is nicely highlighted by the plain black slimming skirt. You could also match this with a black leather satchel shoulder bag to carry all your bits and bobs!
And finally, I think the last image (on the right) is a picture-perfect Autumn/ Winter '13 style idea. My favourite part about this outfit is the subtle touch of sport.
Hope you like it!
