Story & heritage
The varsity jacket has been a recurring KENZO silhouette through the house's recent collections, a collegiate, Americana-tinged shape that the label cuts in its own colours and codes. This version renders the classic varsity as a knitted zip cardigan rather than wool-and-leather, with the 'KENZO Paris' emblem arced across the chest in the house's rounded lettering.
It sits alongside the tiger and the Boke Flower as a piece that carries the KENZO Paris wordmark plainly — a logo worn as heritage rather than hardware, in the navy-and-cream palette that reads instantly varsity.
Materials & craft
The cardigan is knitted in mixed cotton, with a navy body, contrast cream sleeves, and the striped ribbed collar, hem and cuffs that define a varsity. It fastens with a full-length zip, and the 'KENZO Paris' lettering is worked into the knit at the chest in the house's hand-lettered style. Twin ribbed pockets complete the collegiate shape.
How to choose & style
The navy-and-cream colourway is the classic and the most wearable — it works zipped over a tee or open as a layer, with denim or tailored trousers. As a knit rather than a stiff wool varsity, it is softer and more everyday, the collegiate codes doing the talking while the KENZO Paris arc keeps it unmistakably house.
