1. Men's Varsity Jacket Outfit Ideas
Outfit 1: The Classic Campus Look
- Jacket: Navy Blue Wool & White Leather Varsity Jacket
- Base: White crew-neck tee
- Bottoms: Dark wash straight-leg jeans
- Footwear: White low-top sneakers
The timeless look that never goes out of style. Keep everything else clean so the jacket does the talking — perfect for campus life in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles.
Outfit 2: The Monochrome Statement
- Jacket: Black Wool & Black Leather Collared Varsity Jacket
- Base: Black heavyweight long-sleeve tee
- Bottoms: Black cargo pants or wide-leg trousers
- Footwear: Black chunky sneakers or Chelsea boots
Head-to-toe black is one of the strongest looks in 2026 menswear. The collared varsity design adds a premium, fashion-forward edge that a standard ribbed neckline doesn't.
Outfit 3: The Smart-Casual Upgrade
- Jacket: EV Signature Cream Collared Varsity Jacket
- Base: White Oxford shirt (untucked)
- Bottoms: Tailored dark navy chinos
- Footwear: White leather loafers or clean suede boots
The collared varsity jacket was designed for exactly this — taking the classic letterman silhouette into smart-casual territory. It works for creative offices and dinners in cities like Washington DC.
Outfit 4: The Layered Streetwear Look
- Jacket: Black Wool & White Leather Varsity Jacket
- Base: Heavyweight grey hoodie (visible at the collar and hem)
- Bottoms: Olive cargo pants
- Footwear: Chunky sneakers with a visible sole
Outfit 5: The Earth-Tone Editorial
- Jacket: Green Wool & Cream Leather Collared Varsity Jacket
- Base: Tan or oatmeal crewneck

Earth tones are everywhere in premium menswear in 2026, and green with cream leather sits right in that palette — a natural fit for cities like Seattle and Atlanta.
2. Women's Varsity Jacket Outfit Ideas
Outfit 6: The Crop & High-Waist Classic
- Jacket: EV Signature Cream Wool Crop Top Varsity Jacket
- Base: White fitted cami or crop top

3. The Golden Rules of Varsity Jacket Styling
- Let the jacket lead: keep the rest of your outfit simple enough that the jacket remains the focal point.
- Proportions matter: in 2026, slightly oversized or relaxed-fit varsity jackets look more current. Check our size guide.
- Footwear finishes it: the shoes you choose shift the entire tone of the look.
- Avoid over-accessorising: a varsity jacket already makes a statement.
