The letterman jacket from American high school culture

At an American high school, you received a letterman jacket if you played on a school team, and the letter on the chest represented the school's name. In films and musicals set in the 1950s, this garment became the symbol of popular boys with slicked-back hair and sunglasses. The red-and-white colour scheme and ribbed trims still make that look instantly recognisable today. That is precisely why this jacket also works at a rock 'n' roll or rockabilly party, where the counterpart is usually a black jacket with slicked-back hair.

Sunglasses, slicked-back hair and accessories to complement the varsity jacket

Black Wayfarer sunglasses and hair gel for slicked-back hair will bring you close to the image of a high school hero. Wear a white T-shirt underneath with dark jeans featuring a turned-up hem and white trainers. For an even more complete look, choose a nameplate necklace, a simple silver-coloured ring and a comb in the back pocket. A little makeup to give you a healthy complexion will keep the look polished without becoming too costume-like.

Choose this men's varsity jacket and you will instantly have the right rock 'n' roll look for a carnival or 1950s party.
