Varsity Blues

Maybe I'm totally jumping on the bandwagon or maybe it's because I'm becoming more of a fitness freak with my training for a half marathon, because all I want to wear these days is sportswear.
It's a trend that's always been lurking behind the sports luxe and 90s trends seen previous years. I think mainly because it's taken a while for the high street to perfect this look. Previously I thought the bomber jackets were rather sleazy/too colourful for my emo wardrobe and whenever I saw a raglan top I just thought of Zac Efron in High School Musical (anybody else?!). However these five pieces definitely swayed me towards the Varsity trend as they are staple pieces that can be styled in a sporty yet edgy way with the demure colours and not too 'extra from High School Musical':

1. ASOS 'E' beanie - £10
2. Zara 'Black & White' Sweatshirt - £19.99
3. Topshop Raglan Sleeve Dress - £26
4. Topshop Premium Varsity Bomber Jacket - £60 (hefty price, but such an amazing jacket!)
5. Converse Leather Hi Black Mono - £59.99

Hope you like! Are you enjoying the Varsity trend is it 'so 2011' for you?
