You always hear people saying that they never want to go back to high school, but if this celebrity trend is any indication, that statement couldn’t be more wrong. Varsity jackets have been playing a big role in celeb street style lately. You don’t see many guys giving their letterman jackets to their girlfriends anymore (do they still give out letterman jackets??), so I can see how there’s a market for this. Rihanna and Elle Fanning (appropriately enough, still a high schooler) have both been seen cheering for team Opening Ceremony with their popular gray patch jacket. The piece has already sold out in stores and online thanks to the Barbados beauty’s seal of approval. In fact, the singer loved the old school style so much, she tried it out again with Carhartt and A.P.C.’s plaid collaboration. And of course, Taylor Swift, so often singing about her high school days, got in on the school spirit with Dehen 1920’s navy and gold number (on Dehen 1920 for $525). But Miley Cyrus is the one who amped up the stakes, doubling up on trends with Simone’s black and white bomber jacket (custom order yours at Simone). Even if you’re still on the fence about that hair, you have to admit her style is something to cheer for.
