Overshirts

For every occasion: our designer overshirts for men

The designer overshirt for men is a quiet master of the in-between: part shirt, part lightweight jacket, or a casual alternative to the blazer. Light enough to slip beneath a coat, striking enough to set the tone on its own. It thrives on the play of layers, on the freedom it gives the wearer – between formal and relaxed, between functional and luxurious. Its fabrics: sturdy enough to provide structure, soft enough to allow for movement. Its cuts: precisely designed for men who see their clothing as a tool, not a mask. The overshirt is no compromise. It is layering at its purest – a garment for those seeking their own balance in the shifting seasons and occasions.

What is the difference between an overshirt and a shirt?

In warmer months, overshirts serve the function of a lightweight jacket. In autumn and winter, it becomes a statement piece in men's fashion that provides warmth when layered. Overshirts are worn over shirts or classic button-up shirts, which is the main difference between shirts and overshirts. Additionally, overshirts often differ in their diverse materials and cuts from the design of traditional shirts. We offer unique variations made of suede and leather, as well as models crafted from cotton, linen, or flannel. However, shirts and overshirts for men share specific elements such as collars, chest pockets, and simple button plackets, which are common features in both men's clothing items. The overshirt is thus a hybrid of a shirt and a jacket, making it the perfect layering piece.

How to combine an overshirt?

When combining your designer overshirt, you can always play it safe by matching it with similar shades of other elements in your outfit. However, you can also add a pop of colour as an accent. If you opt for a suede leather overshirt, it pairs well with suede leather shoes in a related shade. Many designers also create matching overshirts and pants as complete outfits for their collections. This way, you only need to find the right shoes or a suitable bag for your purpose. You can wear overshirts open or closed, depending on the setting and temperature. This is how the overshirt becomes a versatile companion that doesn’t impose itself, but gives space for your style to shine. Whether worn as a confident statement or as a subtle detail in the art of layering, it remains a piece that accompanies your story without dictating it.
