As athleisure moves from a novel trend in a niche women’s market to a way of dressing for everyone, key varsity styles and details are making their way into everyday wardrobes. Varsity looks aren’t just for teams and schools anymore!

The emergence of a more minimalist style and vintage aesthetic is an identifying mark of this newly evolved varsity style, while a lifestyle-friendly, sophisticated varsity vibe has become the norm.

Non-traditional colors are grounded with grey, black or white with unexpectedly-luxe fabrications. Simple decorations make a big impact. Black-on-black designs offer a sleek palette. Add some branded patches and pins to personalize your look.
