"If you've been reading these Friday emails for any length of time, you probably know that I don't pay a whole lot of attention to menswear trends. I don't particularly care about what's in or out or "back" or "having a moment," and in fact find such commentary somewhat embarrassing. I think men - especially men of a certain age - should strive for a certain amount of timelessness and hard-won personal style that is at odds with the inherently fickle nature of trendspotting."
"When I was a kid in the '90s, rugby shirts were everywhere. In my seventh grade school photo, I was wearing a red-and-navy striped one from L.L Bean that I remember being the heaviest article of clothing I'd ever worn. In the years that followed, I don't know if I was too busy drowning in flannel and old-man cardigans because I thought I was Kurt Cobain or what, but the rugby shirt seemed to disappear."
Many men value timeless, personal style rather than chasing fickle menswear trends. Rugby shirts were ubiquitous in the 1990s before fading from regular wear. Rugby shirts are now widely available across diverse brands, from heritage labels like Ralph Lauren and J.Crew to streetwear-adjacent makers such as Corridor and Noah. The rugby functions as a versatile shoulder-season garment, pairing with shorts on cool spring days or layered under a tweed blazer with jeans in fall. Consumers should consider adding a rugby shirt to their wardrobes for enduring, flexible seasonal styling.
