Product Description

Though a very current Baltimore Orioles Baseball Team All Stars Line Up 2024 Signatures shirt trend, the connection between fashion and tennis is longstanding. In the 1920s, French player Suzanne Lenglen became a fashion plate thanks to wearing Jean Patou designs on court. Tennis stars René Lacoste, Fred Perry and Stan Smith all lent their names to clothing and shoes still in many a modern wardrobe. A pavé diamond bracelet is known as a tennis bracelet thanks to America’s Chris Evert wearing one in the 1978 US Open. Then there are the competitors who made style statements by challenging the traditional whites – from John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg in the 80s, to Steffi Graff’s and Andre Agassi’s neons in the 90s. Other notable fashion moments on court include Billie Jean King’s button-through dress worn for the “battle of the sexes” match with Bobby Riggs in 1973 and Serena Williams’ black catsuit with a red band at the 2018 French Open. Stuart Brumfitt, the editor of tennis style magazine Bagel, says that the sport’s sunkissed circuit is key to its elevated fashion status: “You watch the rugby or football through the winter, and it’s pouring with rain. Tennis is always in these amazing locations. There’s a bit of inherent glamour to it.”

It’s a style that’s Baltimore Orioles Baseball Team All Stars Line Up 2024 Signatures shirt American as apple pie – so why is it making a comeback the world over? The varsity jacket is “an odd bird in the world in fashion” for the way it has stayed so present in style trends over the past century even as it’s “retained its original meaning,” says Deirdre Clemente, historian and curator of 20th-century American material culture at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The story of the varsity jacket is, she says, inherently a story about technology. The garment has its origins in the “letterman” sweater – a knitted jumper featuring an initial taken from a school that was made with new kinds of knitting machines that could make items very fast. Originally only given to elite sportsmen at Ivy League colleges in the late-1800s and early-1900s, “it really began as an elite marker of sportsmanship,” Clemente says. By the 1940s, the jacket had replaced the sweater and it began to crop up on high-school campuses. By the 50s and 60s, new manufacturing technology meant that a variety of business could produce varsity jackets; high-street fashion brands realised that “we can just make these things, they don’t have to have any cultural meanings,” says Clemente. By the 60s and 70s, the letterman had “become a retro fashion statement”, and, in the 80s, alongside the rise of sportswear, companies began to make jackets that alluded to varsity style but featured random images and patches. “Starting about mid-century, as individualism in fashion comes to the fore, people started to use the jacket ironically,” says Clemente. “[People would] wear it with dirty jeans – it wasn’t part of distinguishing who you are as an extra special athlete, it was more a way of distinguishing a style.”
