Vintage 1980s Varsity Letterman Cardigan
Measurements (laid flat):
Vintage ivory varsity cardigan with a bold red chenille W ACADEMICS patch and navy outline at the hip, plus “Erin” script embroidery and red/navy sleeve stripes for that honor-roll energy. Soft, mid-weight knit with a deep V neckline, front buttons, and twin pockets—clean, preppy, and easy to throw over pretty much anything. Feels like something you “borrowed” from the smartest kid in class and never gave back.
Because it’s true vintage, expect light signs of life that add character, not flaws.
Styling notes:
-
Layer over a white tee and vintage denim with sneakers for an easy campus-inspired uniform.
-
Dress it up with a pleated skirt or tailored trousers and loafers or heels for polished prep.
-
Go cozy with leggings, a fitted tank, and chunky socks for coffee runs or study days.
-
Style slightly oversized with bike shorts and a baseball cap for a relaxed, sporty vibe.
