With a slightly oversized fit and bold, often eclectic color combos, this shirt is proving to be the ultimate trans-seasonal staple for the “It” girls.
What sets the rugby shirt apart is its effortless ability to turn any basic outfit into a standout look. Whether you prefer a pop of preppy or a more daring, oversized silhouette, it’s the shirt that demands attention without trying too hard.
