  If you ever want to reminisce back to those high school gents, then you are going to be enamored by this trend.  You can thank the  Louis Vuitton 2012 collection for bringing The Varsity Jacket back in style.   Sure the old school one is cool, but now there is an assortment in choices whether it be denim accents, leather details, and other great modern touches that brings it up to date.  Also the trend was a prominent fixture on the runways of Band of Outsiders Runway and Dsquared2.   Below is pics from the runways ala Style.com:

ARCHIVE THIS: BALENCIAGA FALL 2006

  The year 06, the season fall, the collection Balenciaga.  Nicolas Ghesquiere changed the name of the game by presenting a collection full of clothing and shoes inspired by a mixture of the 1960's British Invasion with an Equestrian aesthetic. The Olsen's took this collection to another level when they started to wear the sky high platform booties featured in this fashion show. As well with the endorsement of the Olsen's,  the collection help inspire shoe company Jeffrey Campbell to create one of their top selling shoes "Zoe". (sidenote: goolge it Lol).  This is definitely one of my favorite collection due to the fact it can be worn by any age group and can be continued onto other seasons.  Gotta Love that!!!! Below are my fav picks from this wonderful collection.  (Pictures via Style.com)
