A varsity jacket is one of those pieces that sits at the intersection of sport and style — and this Lacoste Kids version in navy does it well. The classic varsity silhouette gets the Lacoste treatment with clean navy colouring and the brand's signature detailing, making it a children's designer jacket that works for a wide range of occasions without looking overdressed or underdressed. Available in sizes 3 to 16 years and suitable for both boys and girls, it's a versatile outer layer for the AW2026 season.
The navy colourway keeps it easy to style — it works over a polo shirt, a T-shirt, or a lightweight knit, and pairs with jeans, joggers, or chinos depending on the occasion. The Lacoste branding is present but not dominant, which means it reads as a well-made jacket first and a branded piece second. For parents looking for a kids' designer jacket that gets regular use rather than sitting in a wardrobe, this is a practical choice.
Practical Buying Advice
-
Warmth level: A varsity jacket is a mid-layer outer piece — it's designed for mild to cool weather rather than deep winter cold. For very cold days, layer it over a thicker knit or under a heavier coat. It's not a padded or insulated jacket.
-
Unisex appeal: This jacket is listed for both boys and girls. The varsity silhouette is inherently unisex, and the navy colourway works across genders. If buying for a girl, consider sizing — the cut may be slightly more relaxed than a girls'-specific fit.
-
Sizing: Available from 3 to 16 years. For a classic varsity fit (slightly relaxed through the body), choose your child's standard size. For a more oversized look, particularly for older children, size up one.
-
Care: Please refer to the care label on the garment for washing instructions. Knitted outer fabrics can be prone to pilling if washed too frequently at high temperatures.
-
Occasion range: This jacket works for school drop-off, weekend outings, casual family events, and travel. It's not formal occasion wear, but it's a step above a basic zip-up hoodie.
