WITH cooler weather ahead, the iconic Varsity Jacket is making a comeback at the runways of designers Isabel Marant and Alexander Wang. This 1950s campus trademark is suddenly cool again with young stars Emma Roberts, Elle Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Robert Pattinson giving it a modern, updated look.

College students traditionally wore Varsity Jackets as a symbol of school pride our team spirit in various sports or academic activities – think the Mathletes team from Mean Girls. The jocks, preps, and cheerleaders that were ‘too cool for school’ also wore these jackets to enhance their image.

Today, Varsity Jackets are street-wear inspired and in high fashion style. And Surplus, where you can get great designs for less, has a wide collection of Varsity Jackets starting at P299.75. Mix and match these with graphic tees and denims for a more edgy look.

Match your Varsity Jacket look with stylish folded umbrellas for P99.75 and long umbrellas at P149.75 in the season’s colors.

The Varsity Jacket Collection is available at Surplus stores located at most SM Supermalls. Surplus is also in Facebook – simply search and visit Surplus Shop at Facebook.
