Wearing an overshirt in summer

In this section on our style tips for wearing an overshirt, we give you a few ideas on how to wear it when the fine weather arrives, here or elsewhere. The big advantage of the overshirt is that it lends itself to the role of jacket. So as soon as you're feeling a bit warm, just take it off to feel more comfortable. So let's see how to match it and wear it when you're on holiday or out and about. 

Feet in the water

For this first look, we're taking you on a trip! So we're heading for coconut palms and sandy beaches (or even Brittany) to spend some quality time in the sun. We're going to surprise some of you when you read the word 'shorts', but yes, we've totally gone for it. No more trousers in August, it's far too hot for that: slip on these shorts that look like cut-off chinos, a white t-shirt because you want to show off your new tan and all you have to do is pull an overshirt over them. That's it, you're comfortable in your clothes for the day (which looks pretty calm) and until the evening, when you can sip cocktails by the sea.

And because you've worn those shorts, there's nothing better than moccasins to complete the look in the best possible way. Brown, beige or coloured, it's up to you. As it's summer, flip-flops are also allowed if you absolutely have to! Put your sunglasses on, slap on some sun cream and you're ready to unleash your best beach snowshoe serve.

The adventurer

Ici on Here we're talking to explorers, those who push their limits or even those of you who have travelled further than our beautiful national coastlines. For comfort and protection, we'll be opting for chinos rather than shorts this time. As for what's underneath your overshirt, we'll stick with the iconic bright white T-shirt. That way you'll be able to take it off easily and be even more comfortable for your visits and outings. 

As we know this holiday is not going to be all rest and relaxation, we suggest you wear a pair of trainers, why not white leather sneakers, to make sure you can adapt to any situation. A special mention goes to the Mao collar shirt, which exudes exoticism and will be the perfect addition to any successful holiday outfit. Wear a white one to dinner, over beige trousers and don't forget your overshirt for the road. You can even slip a little notebook into your breast pockets, because we're just waiting for your comments on the beach hut to find out how good the food is!
