Lean into classic collegiate style with this rugby‑inspired knit, defined by bold horizontal stripes and a crisp contrast collar with a neat three‑button placket 🧶. The medium‑gauge knit feels soft yet resilient, offering breathable comfort that works solo now and layers smoothly later 🌤️. Rib trims at the cuffs and hem keep the silhouette tidy, while the relaxed drop‑shoulder cut gives effortless drape over denim, pleated minis, or tailored shorts 🔁.
Why it works: the graphic bands add play, the collar brings structure, and the slightly boxy fit balances high‑rise bottoms for a flattering line 💫. Button to the top for preppy polish, or leave one open for weekend ease; half‑tuck the front to frame the waist and lengthen the leg visually 📐.
Color stories do the styling for you—oat with inky stripes for a fresh lift, deep navy with cream for timeless contrast, and heather grey with black for grounded minimalism 🎨. Pair with light‑wash jeans and clean sneakers for coffee runs, or layer over a pop‑color tee and add a baseball cap for city casual; on cooler days, throw a trench or bomber on top for extra warmth 🧥.
Thoughtful details include smooth, covered seams for comfort, a collar that holds its shape, and rib cuffs that sit neatly without squeezing 🧵. Care is simple: machine‑wash cold on gentle, reshape, and lay flat to dry; store folded to preserve the knit and collar line 🧺.
Reach for this piece whenever the day calls for comfort with character—sporty, nostalgic, and ready to anchor outfits from campus mornings to late‑night strolls ✨.
