Overshirts

Overshirts for men – Dressing for those transitional seasons, such as from summer to autumn, spring to summer, or autumn to winter, can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. We suggest you dress in a way that keeps you warm enough for when there's a chill in the air, yet cool enough for a quick dash to the office when you're in a rush. An overshirt, or shirt jacket, serves as a perfect hybrid between a jacket and a shirt. This versatile piece is typically crafted from slightly thicker material than standard men's shirts, making it more robust and weightier. Men's overshirts are lighter than a traditional jacket and are intended to be worn over a standard shirt or jumper when it's brisk and beneath an overcoat or jacket when it's colder. They are designed to be worn a bit looser than a regular shirt. These characteristics make men's overshirts an ideal staple for your wardrobe. They suit all men, regardless of height, size, or build. Our shirt jackets adeptly bridge the gap between jackets and shirts and can also serve as an excellent alternative to other casual outerwear, such as sweatshirts and hoodies. Essentially, the overshirt is a lightweight jacket, so you can wear it buttoned up or open. When worn open, it's a good idea to choose contrasting colours, such as pairing a light shirt or jumper with a dark overshirt, or vice versa. Avoid too many clashing colours or patterns; let the overshirt take centre stage. As the fabric of overshirts and shirt jackets is stiffer and thicker than that of a shirt, you shouldn't tuck it into your trousers or roll up the sleeves. So, go ahead and opt for an overshirt instead of a regular shirt on a chilly day, or pair it with layers of under and outerwear once winter sets in. Men's overshirts are also perfect to wear as a standalone shirt when indoors.
