Style Trend – The Best Varsity Bomber Jackets For Spring
Words: Violet
Here at The Gentleman’s Journal, you only need to have a quick look back over past style articles to know that we have a slightly unhealthy obsession with bomber jackets. Being men of refined and timeless style we tend to keep to the classic brown leather sort, but when we saw the varsity-style numbers marching the runways for SS14 we knew that this was a trend we simply had to get involved in.
FROM RUNWAY…., , Everyone from Saint Laurent to YMC were sending male models down the runway in this 1950’s American classic. But don’t be fooled into thinking that you ned to be sorting a Danny Zuko style quiff and swagger to pull this trend off, as the varsity jacket has undergone a serious update and should be on the top of every gentleman’s spring wish list.
TO WARDROBE…
THOM BROWNE, , This varsity jacket from label-of-the-moment, Thom Browne, ticks all the right boxes when it comes to finding the perfect varsity jacket for spring. Keeping it classic in black, with two-tone fabric for body and arms, you’d be hard pushed to find a more quintessentially Americana-style jacket., Thom Browne Jacket, £880 mrporter.com
SAINT LAURENT , , Hedi Slimane has, as usual, reinvented the bomber jacket wardrobe staple into this stylish varsity jacket. The monochrome colour pallette with subtle leather addition and details gives it a tough edge. Simply throw over jeans and a white Tee for the essential spring cool-factor., Saint Laurent, £1,040 mrporter.com
GANT RUGGER, , Gant Rugger takes the classic varsity and adds an extra stylish touch with this cool blue hue. The blend of white and light blue cotton yarns is the perfect nod towards the summer pastel trend, while the navy ribbed trims makes it the prefect varsity jacket for any mans wardrobe. The ideal jacket to take you from morning to evening when the sun is out to play., £150 gant.co.uk
