Roots’s Varsity collection

I haven’t thought about my university days for some time, but an exclusive preview of Roots’s Varsity collection video brought back a flood of memories; carrying around heavy text books, writing essays until my brain hurt and also enjoying the company of friends as we walked to and sometimes skipped classes – philosophy was my worst subject by the way.

The campaign was filmed and shot on the grounds of my alma mater, the University of Toronto, and paints a picturesque and carefree school setting for the collection. The clothing derives its style and character from collegiate designs, athletic wear and fall neutrals such as tan, grey and burgundy, and looks incredibly comfortable.

The Varsity collection is currently available online and is arriving in stores now. Below are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure.
