Nautica Rugby Shirt - Red

Editors Notes

Deep maroon rugby-style long-sleeve shirt with tan contrast twill collar, navy shoulder panel, concealed placket, ribbed cuffs, and small blue embroidered Nautica sail logo on left chest; medium-weight knit cotton.

Nautica emerged in the early 1980s as a sportswear brand inspired by classic American nautical style, and pieces like this rugby shirt reflect that heritage perfectly. The rugby silhouette took off in the late 80s and 90s as a casual alternative to the polo, known for its heavier fabric, contrast collar, and athletic origins. Nautica became famous for its bold color blocking, maritime logos, and durable cotton knits that fit seamlessly into both preppy and streetwear wardrobes. Today, vintage Nautica rugby shirts are sought after for their effortless blend of sporty and smart, working well with jeans, chinos, or even layered over an oxford for a modern preppy look.
