Boy, the Letterman jacket gets a grown-up facelift at French Connection … the signature staple of those Varsity jocks has sure come a long way.

The ultimate in preppy chic, FC updates the classic style – usually two tone and worn by Frat boys – with a rock star edge for £195. Colours are kept dark and debonair  while wool and leather ensure a look of luxury rather than lothario.

A perfect look for the Christmas party season, full-on style but without showing off. And believe me, you’ll be the most talked about man around the photocopier the morning after!
