Shoppers are raving about a £38 rugby shirt from Cotton Traders, inspired by Princess Diana's iconic off-duty style. One satisfied customer said: "So pleased with this rugby shirt, excellent quality, like it so much am going to order another one in a different colour."
A Versatile Wardrobe Staple
The Heritage Long Sleeve Rugby Shirt comes in a mint blue and brown stripe, offering a soft, pastel-toned aesthetic that mirrors the late Princess of Wales's timeless look. It is also available in dark forest and mulberry shades for an autumnal spin, and a chalk pink version for those keen to recreate Diana's blue and pink tones.
Due to its popularity, the chalk pink variant is currently only available online in UK sizes 8 and 10. A short-sleeved option is also available in a delicate pink tone for £36.
Customer Praise and Versatility
One admirer wrote: "This is a perfect Spring/Fall shirt - beautiful colours, a bit of weight without being too heavy and a great length. I have washed it and it came out of the dryer needing only a minimal iron. I can see it fast becoming a favourite."
Another added: "I’m so happy with my heritage rugby shirt as it’s such a great quality fabric, so easy to wear. I’m going to order it in another colour."
While there are no unfavourable reviews for this style, the paler high collar might be prone to foundation and makeup stains during everyday use.
More Options and Alternatives
Bolder shades are on sale for £29 (was £38), but numerous sizes have already sold out. Roman's Collared Stripe T-shirt has been reduced from £28 to £22, and M&S offers a £30 Pure Cotton Rugby Polo Top in brown mix or plain brown.
Despite the potential staining issue, another five-star review reads: "Very comfortable and practical shirt; perfect for holiday wear. Nicely finished with attention to detail and reasonably priced."
