Vinteresting, especially off-field. The polo shirt has been back in the wardrobe for several seasons now. Thanks to new cuts and models, she is one of the indispensable revival protagonists for the Spring-Summer 2024: especially in its latest version, large and masculine, which winks at rugby.
If sport made it a legend, today’s stylists aim to transform it from a casual piece to a champion of elegant style. And they suggest how to take her away from fieldright on the catwalk.
Where we saw it
Among the fashion teams that have always focused on rugby-style polo shirts are brands such as Ralph Lauren And JW Anderson.

The Ivy League fetish boss returns to the spotlight in a new look, decidedly more refined to adapt to the wardrobe. The classic rigid cotton, the contrasting collar and the oversized fit remain, as do the maxi horizontal lines which have always characterized it: a mix of purple and green, with the addition of laces instead of the classic buttons, the details of the polo rugby shirt brought to the catwalk for 2024 by the formation of the Belgian brand (with also the variant in burgundy and caramel). Chic starting from the characteristics, enhanced by a refined and original combination.

In the fashion area, the oversized piqué cotton sweater today takes on other guises. For Spring-Summer 2024, the brand led by the designer who shows at Paris Fashion Week elevates it to champion of style on the skirt of the moment: sheer, light and transparent. Victorious combination: the length of the polo shirt covers the hips and makes the sheer skirt proof of the everyday day look. Above, a black coat long classic, which adds a good dose of sophistication.

A preppy (It) girl outfit: after all, rugby was officially born in England, in the town of the same name. To practice the style, alternatively, also a pair of contrasting ballet flats or moccasins.
