Nike may be best known for its sneakers and fitness gear, but the sportswear brand is making a splash in the fashion world this fall with the launch of its “Solo Swoosh” wool varsity jacket.
The varsity jacket is a staple in the music industry, seen on everyone from Chris Brown and Justin Bieber to the Jonas Brothers and Drake. A simple buttoned-up bomber style instantly elevates an outfit even if you’re just wearing a Nike sweatshirt. Of course, it can also be paired with polo shirts and dressy tops for a classic look.

Nike Solo Swoosh Varsity Jacket
This Nike varsity jacket is made from a heavyweight wool blend to keep you warm and comfortable. We love the leather trim on the collar and side pockets, which adds a touch of luxury. We also love that the buttons are the same color as the jacket, giving off a minimalist look and feel. Meanwhile, the lining features a smooth diamond quilting pattern that maintains a soft, smooth feel.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Nike jacket without the iconic Nike logo, but we love how simple and subtle it is, just embroidered on the chest. The whole look has an old-school feel, reminiscent of letterman and football jackets worn in college. Nike says the jacket is actually “crafted with the same meticulous details as vintage jackets.” [jackets]” This inspired this piece.
The Nike Solo Swoosh Fleece Jacket comes in two colors (black and tan) and sizes XS to 3XL. This jacket is a great layering piece and has a slightly loose fit so you can wear it over a sweater or hoodie. If you want a more exaggerated, baggy look, size up.
As with all new Nike releases, this one likely won’t be in stock for long, especially with colder weather approaching. The Nike Varsity Jacket is available now on Nike.com for $250 USD.
