Starbucks wants you to bring pumpkin spice with you before the fall season ends.
Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte varsity jacket is just one way the company is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall drink on Tuesday.
The drink is more than a latte but rather the start of a cultural movement that started a love for the fall season and wave for pumpkin spice flavor products, according to the company. "Pumpkin spice" even became permanently cemented in the Merriam-Webster dictionary last year.

Here are the ways stores will honor the item kicking off its 20s on Tuesday.

The jacket is part of a collaboration with designer Colm Dillane's fashion brand KidSuper. The clothing is defined by fall colors and features the Starbucks logo, PSL acronym and leaves décor to convey autumn at its core.
"Alongside bright and bold graphics, the varsity jacket makes uplifting and unexpected nods to PSL fandom, including expressions of over 20 years of fan love woven into the lining with KidSuper’s signature use of handwritten design," the company said in the announcement.
