Vans Jumpers & Cardigans

Ah, just zip it. Your Vans zip-up hoodie, we mean. It’s getting chilly out…

As a brand, Vans have always been synonymous with streetwear and skate culture. That effortless sense of looking good without looking like you’ve tried to look good has permeated through their footwear and is now stamped all over their zip-up hoodies, jumpers, beanies and other everyday essentials and accessories. Owning their lane of high-quality clothes for low-effort style, a Vans hoodie is the perfect addition to any wardrobe. Worn with jeans or trousers, you’ve got a mix of high-low, worn with joggers or shorts and you’ve got the comfiest day-off attire.

Both a classic brand and one that’s still most definitely plugged into the culture, Vans first emerged in the late 1960s and defined itself by its location – a SoCal, laid-back, skater vibe. They grew in popularity, offering high-quality, high-concept materials and prints across their rubberised shoes that were perfect for skating, and then, thanks to a little 80s film called Fast Times at Ridgemont High, they exploded. Everyone wanted in on the Vans action after their checkerboard trainer (worn by Sean Penn’s character) became a visual shorthand for the rebellious and colourful spirit of the 80s and 90s.

Owning the casual (but never lazy or unfashionable) aesthetic, Vans zip up hoodies and jackets just make sense. It’s a way of keeping your style low effort but maximum impact. The collection of zip up jackets from Vans include versatile and classic colours – such as all black or navy – with the iconic Vans logo printed on the chest. Perfect to throw on and go in the morning, or the coolest way to keep warm.
