Our current favourite trend? Varsity-inspired dressing. It's left us longing for simpler times, and those high school days when throwing on a hoodie was good enough. Fortunately, those hoodies and high tops have been given a facelift. We’re talking lettered jackets and numbered tees in bold colours and shouty prints which guarantee an all-star status.

Look to fashion’s favourite it girls to help you bring your A-game. Go comfy-casual like Cara Delevingne by layering your varsity jacket over a simple white tee and jeans. Or pull a Kim Kardashian and wear it over a pencil skirt. If you’d rather not bundle up, ditch the layers and reach for a jersey dress.
