3 Ways to Wear It: The Overshirt
By: Logan RossDate: 2022-02-25
At Harry Rosen, we strongly believe in building sustainable wardrobes. Before we purchase any new item of clothing, we put thorough consideration into how and where we’ll wear it — and perhaps most importantly, what we’ll wear it with.
So, before we purchase or commission a new garment, we like to assess its versatility by pairing it with the wardrobe staples we already own.
Today, we’re profiling the Overshirt — an item that falls somewhere between a heavy shirt and a light jacket — and showing you how we would dress it up and down by building out a few ‘fits made up of some of our favourite go-to items.
The Dressy
Sporting Zegna’s linen-twill Overshirt in place of a blazer is easy when worn atop a few smarter staples. For a more polished and put-together look, wear the Overshirt with a slim-fitting turtleneck, a pair of tailored wool trousers, and some sleek leather Chelsea Boots.
The Daily
Dress things down a notch by subbing out your more professional pants with a more casual pair of drawstring trousers. As far as your knitwear and footwear go, opt for more laid-back alternatives like a simple crewneck sweater and soft suede Chelseas instead.
