As we approach the end of summer, we can’t help but feel nostalgic for the excitement of back-to-school and the prepster dress trend that goes along with it. This sentiment is also not one that only we share. From Charles Jeffrey Loverboy’s timeless varsity jackets to Prada’s pleated skirts, Louis Vuitton’s rugby polo shirts, Tory Burch tracksuits and the perfect polo shirt, there was no shortage of school spirit on the Fall 2022 catwalks. Courtesy of Wales Bonner. New-school fashion’s take on college varsity attire owes much to designers like Wales Bonner and Gucci, whose collections of retro athletic outfits have brought back all the good stuff about your old school uniform. One of the best things about having a classic uniform wardrobe is that it takes very little effort to get dressed in the morning, an especially important factor to consider as we begin our post-summer return to the office.
Academic-style staples traditionally worn by the Ivy League elite, such as cable-knit sweaters and logo-print cardigans, can be found at fashion favorites Miu Miu and Gucci, while rugby-approved jerseys by Kule jocks and Rowing Blazers are also available. grab Marni and Khaite’s fall argyles and Blazé Milano and Sandro’s high school plaids are some fall patterns to replace summer’s flowers and stripes. Sporty attire for working out in ’70s style, courtesy of a pair of Adidas x Wales Bonner track shorts, a Balenciaga cropped hoodie, or a vintage-inspired t-shirt from The Row. Retro sneakers are having a moment, of course, thanks in part to Tory Burch and Loewe.
Embracing your academic side has never looked so elegant, and this generation of designers seems to feel the same way. This fall, the college student dress trend takes a couture twist. Shop our edit of varsity cardigans, varsity jackets, high school plaids and more below.
