How to wear a terracotta overshirt ?
As part of our advice on how to match the colours of your overshirt, let's talk about terracotta. It's a raw, very natural, warm colour. Its name comes from the Italian word for "terracotta", hence its lovely warm hue. It gives us the impression of travelling and reminds us of the pottery objects found in the countries of the Mediterranean basin. To make your terracotta overshirt your best ally for the summer season, we've got a few style tips and look ideas for you !
Terracotta : a nostalgic colour
As we explained, terracotta is a very special colour, with many shades of red, brown and orange, making it a unique piece that can sometimes be scary to match. Achieving a casual, chic and stylish look with this overshirt isn't that complicated, believe us !
First of all, avoid an overloaded look with lots of different patterns and colours. This will look too much and not at all elegant. It's best to opt for simpler, brighter colours to contrast with terracotta, which is a deep, warm colour. Pair the overshirt with beige linen and cotton chino trousers to give the outfit a casual chic feel. As for the top, you can play it casual with an olive green cotton T-shirt, which goes perfectly with the terracotta colour.
Special remarks
If you want to go for a shirt instead of a T-shirt, we suggest one that will go perfectly with the ensemble. Choose an original collar like the white chambray mao collar shirt. This will support the authenticity of the terracotta overshirt. Think outside the box - you won't regret it !
