An overshirt is a versatile hybrid

In recent years, the overshirt has become increasingly popular, and if you don’t already own one yourself, you’ve probably spotted it on one or more of your mates.

But we can well understand if you’re a bit confused about what an overshirt actually is – or rather, which category of clothing it falls into. At TEESHOPPEN, we occasionally hear people wondering whether it’s a shirt or a jacket – or perhaps something in between. So let’s try to shed a bit of light on this: an overshirt is typically defined as a hybrid between a shirt and a jacket. Whilst shirts are often associated with smarter occasions, overshirts have a more relaxed look, making them an excellent choice for everyday wear. What’s more, the unique thing about an overshirt is that it can serve both as an extra layer indoors and as a light jacket outdoors. In reality, the definition isn’t that important, because – just like with any other style – you can really wear it however you like.

Find a men’s overshirt that suits your style

At TEESHOPPEN, we offer a varied selection of men’s overshirts. And when we say varied, we really mean varied! We have overshirts with both short and long sleeves. What’s more, our range includes overshirts in different colours and with a variety of details. Among other things, you can choose from overshirts with different types of pockets – some styles have two breast pockets, whilst others have just one or none at all. Most of our overshirts are plain, but we also have a selection with checked patterns for those who want to add a little extra character to their outfit.

So on this page, you’ll find plenty of options to help you discover the design that best suits your style – whether you prefer a classic look or a bolder style. Choose your favourite and discover how a men’s overshirt can become the style you didn’t know you were missing.

The overshirt is the perfect solution for the transition between seasons

Surely you’ll recognise that feeling of standing there, struggling to decide what to wear when it’s neither warm nor properly cold outside? Those lovely times of year just before spring and winter, when temperatures can fluctuate wildly and it can therefore take countless outfit changes to stay comfortably dressed throughout the day. If your answer is yes, then let’s give a shout-out to the overshirt – or overshirt – as your ideal solution. This style works perfectly as that extra layer that gives you just the right amount of warmth without making you overheat. With an overshirt, you can easily adapt to fluctuating temperatures without compromising on either comfort or style.

How to style your men’s overshirt

A men’s overshirt can be styled in many ways, and we’re naturally happy to offer you a bit of inspiration.

If you’d like to look relaxed but still smart, you can pair your overshirt with a pair of our popular Performance Pants. Add a simple T-shirt underneath, and you’re ready for a day at work, at university or out and about. If you’re aiming for a slightly less casual look, you could choose to combine your overshirt with a classic men’s jumper. This creates a layered effect that both looks smart and keeps you warm. For a more on-trend look, you could also style your overshirt over a polo shirt and add a pair of cool Performance Jeans.

Whether you choose to style your overshirt based on our suggestions or pair it with something completely different is entirely up to you. Once you’ve got your hands on it, you’ll soon realise that your overshirt is an extremely versatile piece in your wardrobe, suitable for a range of occasions and weather conditions.
