Crosshairs


Baseball track jacket from French Connection UK (FCUK), shorts from American Eagle, shoes by Castañer

Snagged this jacket online when it went on sale for £15, around 7 years ago (I think). Since then it’s been one of my favorite wardrobe items. Don’t know what’s up with the weird butt-groping pose, but I think I was trying to adjust the bottom of my jacket as my boyfriend snapped the photograph.

I think everyone should have a good track jacket in their wardrobe; they’re perfect for adding an effortless coolness to any outfit. I can’t think of any article of clothing that better fulfills my desire to look like an early-90′s football star heart-throb, can you?

      Luckily not too hot, but only cos we shot these in a few minutes! I get used to walking to work in a light jacket or long sleeves since my office is so cold and I sunburn quickly. ~_~

    Love it! It’s such a cool, retro look. That jacket in particular has a 1970′s vibe, one of my favorite decades for style.
