Rugby Reset

Rugby Reset

Rugby stripes, collars and varsity details styled cleaner with sweatshirts, half zips and polos. Made for women who want a familiar trend to feel fresh.

Rugby has been sitting in the back of my closet for years, and I like it best when it is cleaned up. The idea is simple: one piece with a collar, a stripe or a bit of college lettering, worn with plain trousers or jeans so it looks chosen instead of dressed up. A half zip from Varley or a polo sweatshirt from Rhone gives you the collar without the stiffness of a real shirt.

 

When I want more of the varsity feel, I reach for the PARKE mock neck or THE GREAT. college sweatshirt, then add a Beyond Yoga crew for the days I want it all soft. Clare V.'s Ciao sweatshirt is the playful one, and I wear it with a straight skirt so it does not read as gym clothes. Keep the colors muted and the fit a little oversized.
