Despite their name, you don’t need to actually play rugby to wear a rugby shirt. Sure, the shirts have their origins in the thrilling and violent game, but starting in the 1950s, the shirts started to find a place outside of the game for recreational wear.

Initially made from durable, heavyweight cotton to ensure they could handle the rough and tumble conditions of the game, the shirts have become a more than viable option for those who want a thick layer to wear in the colder months. The inherently preppy look of the shirt make for a stylish option that doesn’t require a lot of work, as well. So, in honor of this versatile shirt, we’ve rounded up ten of the best rub shirts around. Take a look at our favorite modern-day takes on the shirt to help you bring some rugged swagger to your closet — regardless of whether or not you’ve ever stepped on a field.

Even if you’ve never stepped foot on a boat before, there’s a strong possibility you’re familiar with boat shoes. You’re probably familiar with Sperry’s take on the shoe, but for those who aren’t, boat shoes are two-hole, leather shoes that are breathable and waterproof — and made with a rubberized sole that provides critical traction for slick surfaces like a boat deck. Inherently functional, boat shoes have found a second life a casual office shoe, a go-to choice for collegiate prepsters, and even get referenced by Jay Z himself

The boat shoes of 2020 aren’t quite as boxy as they were in the past and are now more reflective of the sleek sailboats you’d typically wear them on. The key to pulling them off is to know that they shade a little more towards the casual side of the spectrum. That means you can wear them with jeans or khakis with ease. Regardless of how you style them, we’ve rounded up nine of our favorites that can take you from the shore to the water and back again.

The Best New TV Shows & Movies This Week: 'The Hunt,' 'Better Call Saul,' and More by William Goodman

What a terrible week to be an avid movie and TV lover; COVID19 has practically brought the Hollywood machine to a standstill. From Tom Hanks(!) catching coronavirus to a few of 2020's highly anticipated movies (No Time To Die and Fast 9) being delayed for months, it's hard to get hype over...well, anything. That said, three of the four selections this week are things you can watch at home, so while everyone is forced to stay indoors so they don't fall victim to the pandemic, you can at least be entertained.

Not only are we finally done with The Outsider (a blessing?), we're just getting started with AMC's Better Call Saul (a show you should be binging TF out of to catch up if you fell off). And while this week's movie selection probably won't make our Best Movies of 2020 list, they are fun, and one of them got thrown on Hulu a week early! You legit have no excuse.

You know the routine; scroll down for our picks for best movies and TV shows of the week, then plan accordingly.
