The Six Nations is well and truly underway – but a rising fashion trend seems to pay homage to the humble rugby shirt.
Open collar striped knits – that look remarkably similar to traditional rugby attire – are growing in popularity, and are a great transitional choice as we move into spring.
The past few months we’ve seen people swap their trusty turtleneck knits for open collar styles. In fact, Lyst previously reported that searches for big collar polo-style knits increased by 41% at the beginning of September.
However, striped ones in particular are having a moment.
One striped jumper is everywhere right now – you only have to go on Instagram to spot it.
The piece in question is a white number from & Other Stories with black stripes.
Now high-street brands such as Arket, Mango and Zara have all got their own version of the viral collared piece – but there are other colours on offer, too.
With rugby on everyone’s minds right now, there’s probably never been a better time for the sporting and fashion worlds to collide.
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite ‘rugby’ knit buys – with something for every budget.
