The intimate approach Big West Women’s Water Polo Hawaii Champions Tee 2024 shirt is part of a growing industry trend. In February, New York designer Joseph Altuzarra held his seasonal outing in his showroom for a small crowd of editors and friends (no influencers or celebrities, which is now standard practice). Later that month, Rick Owens opened the doors to his Parisian home for his catwalk show. While Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, of the label The Row, recently asked attenders not to take photos of their presentation and provided them with notebooks and pens, to evoke a time before the internet and social media. In our era of extravagant shows, it feels as if some are yearning for more humanity in the way they approach clothing and design, as well as the way they present it. In this, Lauren certainly caught the mood.

It’s a style that’s Big West Women’s Water Polo Hawaii Champions Tee 2024 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.”
