If you’re anything like us, you’ll have been looking forward to layering season all year, as it's no secret that the autumn months are the best for dressing. From cozy sweaters and soft knits to rich colour palettes and vibrant accent tones, there’s just something about being able to put together a ‘fit that’s even fresher than the cool air in the morning. With the collegiate trend looking to be huge for autumn and winter this year, we’ve got our eyes on the latest adidas A/W collection, which turns preppy style staples into the perfect capsule wardrobe that’ll see you through the transitional season ahead.

With a heavy focus on varsity-style graphics and uniform-inspired styles, these pieces wouldn’t look out of place if they were worn by Blair Waldorf (xoxo). Collection highlights like the Collegiate Skirt offer a fresh take on the tennis skirt silhouette, while the accompanying Class of 72 Vest is the perfect layering piece for dealing with those temperamental changes in temperature.

Two cheer-style crop tops feature a varsity-inspired adidas wordmark, and while they’d make great summer options, we love the idea of layering them over a turtleneck for a more seasonal look. We paired these with the brand’s Anniversary Tracksuit Bottoms, which feature a wide leg and a smart check pattern that compliments the wider theme.

And of course, no collegiate style ‘fit is complete without a varsity jacket. This one comes crafted from soft teddy fleece and smooth taffeta, and features classic chenille lettering in the form of an ‘A’ on the chest. It’s the perfect answer to a pre-winter warmer, and the timeless look makes for super-easily styling. Finally, continue the throwback theme with some retro-style sneakers, or opt for something like the adidas Forum Bold for a more contemporary look.
