Fashion Editor Anticipates Rugby Shirts as Autumn's Biggest Trend; Here's My Top Picks from High Street Styles for the Season

As the seasons begin to change and the weather takes a cooler turn, it's time to update your wardrobe for the upcoming cooler months. One stylish and versatile piece that's making waves in the fashion world is the rugby-style sweater.

This season, the preppy rugby-style shirt is a popular trend, offering an effortless way to look a little more put together while off-duty. The soft jersey number, with its slightly oversized fit, is extra cosy on a chilly day. But what makes this sweater stand out?

The fabric of the sweater is soft knit and made from 100% cotton, making it breathable and machine washable. The striped rugby-style top comes complete with a contrast white collar, adding polish and definition. The contrast collar, made from a stiffer cotton fabric, is a thoughtful touch that elevates the sweater's casual look.

The stripes on the sweater are bold yet retro and classic, and they pair well with a variety of bottoms. For a casual look, the sweater goes great with best wide leg jeans and trainers. For a more professional feel, you can style it with simpler denim, soft grey, or navy on the bottom half, or even with tailored trousers and loafers.

The bright and cheery colors of the sweater, such as pink and plum, follow the autumn/winter berry-toned trend. But if you're looking for something a bit bolder, a striped rugby-style top in a burgundy and orangey-red colorway can be found at Next.

The fashion house OTTO has offered a large number of sports apparel items like rugby-style shirts in recent weeks, making it easy to find the perfect rugby-style sweater for your wardrobe. And with the striped rugby-style top priced at only £20, it's an affordable way to stay on-trend this season.

So, whether you're heading to the office or out for the weekend, the rugby-style sweater is a versatile piece that's sure to become a staple in your autumn/winter wardrobe. Its relaxed and easy look makes it the perfect choice for weekend wear, while its versatile style allows it to be dressed up for a more professional look. And with its bright and cheery colors, the sweater is like a shot of dopamine on a chilly autumn day.
