Sporty, sporty! Rugby shirts for men styled in 3 ways

Although rugby originally came from Australia, typical rugby shirts for men have ended up all over the world. And for a good reason, too – with them, you’ll be in good shape and not just on the pitch. Whether they have polo necks, V-necks, block stripes or player numbers: Stylight shows you how you can combine sporty shirts:

1. Casual in rugby shirts with horizontal stripes

Rugby shirts with classic wide block stripes are great for a casual look and can be in bright colors too if you want.
What to wear with it: You can combine long and short sleeved versions with cardigans. These go with classic, straight-cut jeans or comfortable, beige chinos and sneakers which pick up on the color of the stripes.

2. Chic with a sports jacket and scarf

Even in the office, rugby shirts for men are an option. It’s best to steer clear of eye-catching emblems and loud colors – choose modest colors like black, beige and dark blue, and a shirt with a plain round neck.
What to wear with it: Combine the top with a single color sports jacket. Add dark cloth pants or skinny jeans. Fancy boots or loafers go especially well with this look. On cooler days, you can match them with a color coordinated round scarf.

3. As a sporty variation on the polo shirt, with jeans and boots

If you’re off to a bar or sports bar in the evening, rugby shirts for men with polo necks are perfect.
What to wear with it: Well fitting, five-pocket jeans in classic denim colors. Add sneakers in the color of the shirt. You can make the look extra sporty with a cap.
