The 1980s may be long gone, but the era’s tacky fitness trends still live on in our hearts. The vintage varsity jackets, short shorts, and tube socks are all making a comeback with this set.

With 40 swatches for each gender, you can mix and match these jackets with the rest of the vintage athletics set to create a look that’s all your own.
