One of the coolest looks for fall – and, judging by reports from New York Fashion Week, next as well – is the iconic varsity jacket, which like the very best of trends is not so much brand new as updated.

Forget the baggy fitting slightly clownish versions your dad wore back in the day – these are fitted, with cooler color schemes and updated materials. Whether you opt for the eye-popping graphics or not is a matter of taste.
