Burgundy and Navy Striped Rugby Shirt with White Pleated Shorts

About this look

Channeling collegiate athletic tradition with a breezy coastal edge, this sporty ensemble pairs a bold burgundy and navy horizontal-striped cotton rugby shirt with tailored white pleated shorts. The heavy cotton jersey rugby top features a contrasting crisp white spread collar and a covered button placket, worn with sleeves pushed up past the forearms for a relaxed, athletic silhouette. Below the waist, crisp off-white pleated chino shorts hit comfortably above the knee, lending vintage Ivy League structure while creating high visual contrast against the dark jewel tones of the shirt. Burnished chestnut brown leather boat shoes with rawhide lacing ground the bare-legged look in authentic maritime prep. On the wrist, a classic silver stainless steel watch introduces subtle metallic refinement to an otherwise utilitarian sportswear foundation. Ideal for late-summer campus strolls, seaside resort weekends, or casual spectator sporting events, the outfit bridges athletic heritage with crisp tailoring. Ensure the shorts are pressed with sharp front pleats to keep the relaxed jersey shirt feeling polished and deliberate.
