Off-White's New Varsity Gear Is Too Cool For School
With absolutely none of the cliché.
Varsity is making yet another fashion comeback. We saw a few high school references on the Fall/Winter 2017 runways – Balenciaga's preppy swagger, Versace's polished activewear... – but Off-White's new collection is perhaps the boldest collegiate statement yet.
The range includes a sweatshirt, longline sweater, tee and a super-cozy pair of sweatpants, and is emblazoned with graphic varsity “OFF” or “White” insignia in bright orange, white or yellow. You gotta love the “I just was thinking” detail on the ankle of the sweatpants though (what's up with that grammar, Virgie?). In true Virgil Abloh style, the pieces are a fresh take on a time-honored theme, with absolutely no cliché in sight.
Relive your sporty days and shop the collection here, including the SSENSE-exclusive oversized “Globe” sweatshirt in purple and black.
