4 WAYS TO STYLE RUGBY TOPS
By Steven Potter, 5 February 2024



LOOK #1: SPORTY SKATER
The rugby shirt we love today originated as an item of true sportswear, so, why not represent today? Double up on the 3-Stripe styling with an adidas Originals shirt and matching Sambas. This vibe is heavy on the 90s styling, so, go all in with some baggy jeans in a heavy washed-out finish. Kinda sporty, kinda skater – all fire 🤙
GET THE LOOK:
adidas Originals archive rugby shirt, £55
Bershka skater-fit jeans, £35.99
adidas Originals Samba trainers, £90



LOOK #2: SMART-CASJ CLASSIC
The Sambas weren’t the only shoe to have a meteoric rise in popularity in 2023 – loafers in all their various shapes, sizes and styles became THE choice for switching up your footwear rotation. We’ve kept things minimal with a plain rugby top and matching cargos, so it’s your top-tier shoe choice that stands out here.

ASOS DESIGN oversized rugby polo shirt, £28
Bershka wide leg tailored cargo trousers, 39.99
ASOS DESIGN loafers, £28



LOOK #3: 90s REALNESS
Rugby sweats had a big moment in the 90s, and with icons of the decades like Tommy Jeans, Carhartt WIP and Asics to choose from, we absolutely had to feature an outfit combining all three heavyweights. That’s triple the logo clout, too 💪
GET THE LOOK:
Tommy Jeans relaxed knitted rugby shirt, £95
Carhartt WIP brandon loose fit jeans, £100
Asics Gel-Venture 6 trainers, £105



LOOK #4: KNITWEAR FTW
Even knitwear has been given the rugby-top treatment. This option is literally perfect for the transitional weather coming our way 🙌 Give the preppy top half a streetwear sign-off with baggy cargos and ever-cool Nike Dunks.
GET THE LOOK:
Jack & Jones Originals oversized knit rugby in stripe splice, £40
Carhartt WIP cole cargo trousers, £130
Nike Dunk Low Retro trainers, £119.95
