Vintage Inspirations - Ivy League Style - The VFG Fashion Parade for the week of October 5th

Vintage Inspiration - Ivy League Style
Inspired by what students at America’s top colleges and universities wore, Ivy League style flourished in the mid to late 1950s and early 60s and influences fashion to this day. This fall particularly, designers have been looking to classic Ivy League style for runway looks. This week, our VFG members show you their best items to interpret this look - think smart blazers and suits, polo shirts, khakis and chinos, tartans and checks, ascots and old-school ties, loafers (worn with argyle socks!), tennis sweaters, cardigans, duffle coats, and button-down shirts.
