How to wear the Teddy jacket this winter?

The it girls and other A listers did not wait long before appropriating the timeless Teddy jacket. Bella Hadid and her sister, Gigi Hadid, adepts of athleisure style, have also made the Teddy their almost daily uniform. Ditto for Margot Robbie, darling of Hollywood, she also succumbed (without even being asked) to this fashion that immediately sends us back 15 years ago. Casual and easy to wear, it is not surprising that fashionistas around the world succumb to this jacket that is directly in line with the Y2K style: inspired by the best (or worst) fashion of the late 90s, early 2000, we inevitably fall back on the key pieces of our teenage dressings. This has the effect of offering - in passing - a real blow of youth to our silhouette. This is, once again, the proof that fashion is an eternal cycle and that we should never throw away anything (even our teenage jackets).

How to recognize a Teddy jacket?

In the 60s, the Varsity jacket was initially worn by Harvard students in the United States. It was a jacket to show that they belonged to one of the best universities in the world and also to wear the colors of the university baseball team. Little by little, other universities decided to create their own jacket. In the 60's, this jacket became the favorite uniform of American college athletes. In the 80s, it became the symbol of hip-hop music. Over the years, the jacket has passed from hand to hand, from influence to influence, until it lands in our dressing room. But despite its long Travel, the Teddy jacket has never lost its signature and this is mainly due to the very particular details of the jacket.

• Ideally, it is chosen two-tone. The sleeves are of a different color . For example, the body of the Teddy can be black, green, red or even yellow while the sleeves will generally be white
• We prefer it with details: coats of arms, logos, numbers, university names...
• The sleeves and the bottom of the jacket are usually decorated with a ribbed edge of the same color as the body of the piece
