A metallic varsity jacket in pale khaki — the classic collegiate silhouette given a contemporary, fashion-forward update through its metallic fabrication.

With a zip front for easy on-and-off. Browse our women's jackets and outerwear collection.
Why You'll Love It

- Varsity jacket silhouette — the classic collegiate shape with a fitted waist and banded hem that's been proven flattering across body types.
- Zip front — practical and easy to use; wear open as a statement overshirt or zipped as a proper jacket.
- Everyday styling — the varsity format works for casual, smart-casual and evening-adjacent situations.
- Statement outerwear — a jacket that changes an outfit's entire register simply by being put on.

FAQs
Is a metallic jacket too bold for everyday wear?
A pale khaki metallic is significantly more wearable than a bright gold or silver metallic. The muted tone means the sheen reads as a subtle, considered detail rather than an overt statement. It works for everyday casual and smart-casual wear without feeling over-the-top.
How do I care for a metallic jacket?
Metallic fabrics require gentler care than standard fabrics. Hand wash or use a delicate cold cycle and hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying as heat can damage the metallic coating. Store hanging rather than folded to avoid creasing the metallic surface.
Is this jacket true to UK sizing?
This runs close to standard UK sizing with a fitted varsity silhouette. Check your bust measurement against the size guide below. The varsity fit is tailored rather than relaxed — size up if you prefer more room.
Can I wear a varsity jacket to the office?
In creative, casual and smart-casual work environments, a clean metallic varsity jacket is perfectly appropriate. Pair with tailored trousers and simple footwear for a considered, fashion-aware work look.
What occasions work for a metallic varsity jacket?
Casual, smart-casual, evening events, parties and celebrations. The metallic element gives it an evening versatility that a standard fabric jacket lacks. It works particularly well for events where you want to look stylish without being overtly formal.
