This season, it's all about revamping athletic-inspired statement pieces, like classic letterman jackets and cheerleader skirts, with chic prints and seriously cool accessories. These sporty staples are super versatile, so try 'em with your old summertime favorites and brand-new back-to-school buys alike.
Mix Sporty and Sweet
Not ready to ditch summer prints? A classic bomber jacket instantly adds fall flair to quirky florals and preppy stripes.
Cheer up Your Basics
Fitted jeans and
heels are an effortlessly cool combo. Pair it with a rad jacket (like
this version that has straight-out-of-the-locker-room leather sleeves!)
for a low-key take on the trend.
Sweats Get Chic
With bold graphics and fashion-forward silhouettes, comfy sweats can go far beyond gym class. A pair of this season's trendiest sneakers will deliver an all-out athletic ensemble, while chunky ankle boots channel downtown cool.
Step up Your Game
Thanks to high-profile players
who have style cred in spades, basketball is having a particularly chic
moment. Here, the traditional mesh jersey gets a chic upgrade with a
graphic print and quirky accessories.
Join the Pep Squad
The pleated
cheerleader skirt gets an edgy remix in dip-dyed denim. It's versatile,
sweet, and beats wearing jeans to class for the millionth day in a row.
Go Retro
For campus style
with an old-school vibe, an acid-wash denim topper—customized with
patches and pins for extra credit—will do the trick. Pick one with a
boxy silhouette for an '80s-inspired ensemble.
Borrow from the Guys
Even though
girls have been winning their own letterman jackets for decades now,
it's still fun to rock one with a comfy, boyish fit. Add polish with
feminine details, like pointy-toe flats and statement lipstick.
Earn Your Varsity Letter
Step aside,
hoodies. It's all about the crew neck now! To snag some prep-school
sass, choose a fitted shape and layer it over a collared shirt.
Rock Your Colors
Whether you match your school mascot or pick your own shades, wear your spirit on your sleeve with an adorable bomber jacket.
Rally with Fall Layers
When the
calendar says it's autumn but the weather is still in summer vacation
mode, a lightweight, varsity-inspired topper makes the perfect
transitional piece. Plus, it'll add some back-to-school attitude to the
shorts and sandals you haven't packed away just yet.
