The Tennis Sweater Reimagined

Metallic Morrissey Sweater

 
When I was a teenager, I had a tennis sweater that I loved. I often wore it playing tennis on chilly summer mornings as I went to camp for many summers in Wisconsin. I also loved it paired with madras shorts or white slacks or tied jauntily around my neck. 

A staple of Ivy League style, the cricket sweater, also known as a tennis sweater, is a preppy icon. Dating back to the 1920s, it was originally worn by British sportsmen before becoming popularized by the Prince of Wales.
