It seems like every top model has a side gig going on right now. Bella Hadid has her fragrance line 'Ôrəbella, Hailey Bieber has Rhode and Gigi Hadid has Guest In Residence. Not familiar with the latter? You will be. Guest In Residence offers cashmere knits and its biggest claim to fame so far may just be that it's making rugby shirts cool again. Which is a really good thing because they're the perfect shirt for spring.
First, a distinction. Rugby and polo are often used interchangeably on the fashion front, but there is a difference. Rugby tops usually boast wider stripes, while polos lay claim to skinny stripes. Rugby shirts also tend to be thicker, probably because they're traditionally used as uniforms. (Which makes them great for spring because it can still get chilly on occasion.) Most also feature stark white collars that really pop against a colorful backdrop.
The best options are a mix of designer and more affordable silhouettes. Dries Van Noten's mustard and red-hued creation comes with a lace-up collar. Coperni designed a bodysuit with striking yellow and navy stripes. While Anna Sui's neon take is made of mesh so you'll need to layer something underneath.
Even though we're introducing them into our spring sartorial strategy, the shirts don't have to be comprised of bright or pastel colors. For example, plenty of picks feature an olive or forest green. Navy, red and black are also popular choices. Thanks to these deeper shades, you'll definitely stand out from the spring crowd.
