H&M Rugby Shirt - Red

Editors Notes

Brick red and cream color-block rugby shirt; wide horizontal cream stripe across chest and sleeves; cream twill collar; concealed partial button placket; ribbed cuffs; straight hem with side vents; cotton knit jersey fabric.

Rugby shirts draw their origins from early 20th century British sportswear, where heavy cotton jerseys were made to withstand rough play and constant pulling. Over the decades, brands like H&M have reinterpreted this silhouette into lighter, everyday pieces that bring preppy and collegiate style into casual wardrobes. H&M is known for translating classic designs into accessible fashion, often simplifying details while keeping the graphic stripe and contrast collar that define rugby shirts. Today, this kind of striped rugby top is worn less on the field and more as a relaxed streetwear staple, easily paired with jeans or chinos for a vintage-inspired look. The wide contrast band and muted brick red tone give this particular piece a subtle retro feel that still works seamlessly in modern styling. For a vintage store, it sits at the intersection of sporty heritage and contemporary fast-fashion reinterpretation, ideal for someone who likes a nod to tradition without feeling costume-y.
