A New Take on an Old Classic

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

Did you ever play softball as a kid and hate the uniforms? Ever see your brother’s weird baseball jackets and think the sport could seriously improve on their required attire? Do you also remember how much we now love the classic and comfy baseball tee? Yeah, it’s pretty funny how clothing we used to despise comes back to be a fashion staple. It’s no secret that sporty has successfully made the transition to runway time and time again, and this spring is no exception.

I’d like to introduce you to the baseball/bomber jacket that is making an appearance as one of the hottest trends of the season. They are fun and light and perfect for spring weather, not to mention versatile! Whether you choose to keep it classic or rock a bolder version, you simply can’t go wrong.

Classic

For a sporty-chic look, or if you’re looking for something that will go with everything, stick to the classic design and choose neutral colors that can be paired with almost any outfit. You can put it with a cute t-shirt dress or add it to your basic jeans and white tee ensemble!

Basic

If you want to switch it up but keep it safe, go with one of these from Rubbish which can be found in different colors perfect for spring!

Floral

Spring is all about re-introducing colors into your wardrobe, and what better way to do that than with a cute floral print?

Pattern

If you aren’t into flowers, that’s okay too, because Free People and Hinge have done great things with their take on the baseball/bomber. These patterns are so fun and are sure to get multiple compliments a day.

Texture

Another take on the jacket is to go for a cool texture rather than pattern. Something like this Free People jacket is sure to attract attention without being overwhelming.

No matter how you swing it, this baseball jacket is sure to hit a home run this spring as a part of your wardrobe!
