What is an overshirt?
A distant cousin of the classic shirt we all know, the overshirt borrows quite a few details from it. Starting with the collar, typical of the shirt — often straight and short, far from the fanciful Italian or American collars found on overshirts.
Next come the buttons, just as prominent as on its cousins. We have chosen the classic full-length fastening here, without adding a zip so as not to detract from the concept.
And since we were committed to practicality, we even added two chest pockets, always adorned with attractive buttons.

What are the different men's overshirts?
The first is the one for warmer days, benefiting from the absorbent properties and lightness of linen. And for winter, there are our wool models, both woven in Italy to guarantee the finest finish and produce a piece that lasts through the years. But that is not all — the overshirt is available in different solid colours such as beige, green, or navy.
When and how to wear an overshirt?
You are the one who will wear it best in your own way, but here we can lend you a hand if you are short of inspiration.
- A plain t-shirt, fine knitwear, or even a shirt! If you are wearing a t-shirt, leave it open to show it off, or do so if it gets a little warmer than in the morning.
- Wearing a fine-knit jumper under the overshirt is also an excellent idea, at the turn of the season when the sun begins to show itself but temperatures remain low..
- For the rest of the outfit, we would recommend a plain cotton chino, or even jeans if need be. Often considered casual, it can be the choice of trousers that sets the tone of your look, from smarter to more relaxed.

A question about our collections?
An overshirt is a hybrid garment between a shirt and a jacket. Thicker than a classic shirt but less structured than a jacket, it can be worn open or closed, depending on your needs. Versatile and comfortable, the overshirt is perfect for mid-season weather. It can be layered over a t-shirt or a sweater to create various looks, ranging from casual to smart-casual. Adding an overshirt to your wardrobe means choosing a practical and stylish piece that enhances your outfits effortlessly.
The size of an overshirt depends on several factors, including your body shape, personal style, and how you intend to wear it.
Wearing it solo: If you plan to wear the overshirt like a standard shirt, choose your regular size for a comfortable, tailored fit.
Layering: If you’ll be layering it over a sweater or sweatshirt, go one size up to ensure freedom of movement and optimal comfort.
Size guide: Every brand has specific measurements. Always refer to the size chart to check chest, shoulder, and length dimensions to pick the best fit for you.
For an elegant yet comfortable look with an overshirt, opt for a model in neutral tones like beige, grey, or navy. Wear it over a dress shirt or a lightweight turtleneck for a polished style. Pair it with well-fitted trousers, such as chinos or wool pants, and finish the look with elegant shoes like leather boots or derby shoes. Balance comfort and sophistication for the perfect ensemble.
The choice of fabric for an overshirt depends on the season. For autumn and spring, go for materials like blended wool or heavy cotton, which provide a good balance of warmth and breathability. In winter, opt for more insulating fabrics such as wool flannel or corduroy. Finally, for summer, choose lightweight and breathable materials like linen or chambray.
