How to wear and maintain an overshirt ? All our style tips and tricks

The overshirt is a garment between a classic shirt and the transitional jacket. It comes straight from the 80s and was borrowed from the American soldiers, who were then equipped with the "Battle Dress Uniform". This military green shirt jacket, which departed from the blue of World War II, has been reworked by brands over the last 40 years to offer you a wide choice today.

Today they come in all kinds of materials, but one thing is for sure: the original details are still there. Large buttons, chest pockets and a uniform color make this garment your favorite of the season. It is the garment you put on when you want to look young or casual, and in this guide we deal with the many possible styles and color combinations, without forgetting our valuable tips that will help you take care of your new ally. Open or closed, blue or green - all we know is that the overshirt will have no more secrets from you, so enjoy reading!
