How To Wear An Overshirt: Aphrodite Advises

How To Wear An Overshirt.. here at Aphrodite we have you covered with the latest overshirt and how to style them. 

Overshirts are a simple staple of almost any style, whether it’s a smart addition to a look or if you’re layering up in the cooler temperatures the overshirt is a versatile and essential piece to own in any season. However, like with any piece that follows form and function, there are many choices in style and brand, not to mention different ways you can wear an overshirt.

So whether you’re feeling the cold or just looking to add another piece to your collection, we wanted to showcase the different styles and brands on our roster. This simple how to wear an overshirt guide offers a few looks of overshirts and how they can be worn and what they can be worn with.

CP COMPANY Taylon L Shirt - Nugget Gold

CP Company Taylon L Shirt – Nugget Gold

Starting with C.P. Company and their Taylon L overshirt in a vibrant Nugget Gold, this overshirt is a casual example of how an overshirt is classically seen but in a standout colourway. Made from CP’s lightweight nylon taslan fabric this piece is ideal for either layering in winter or as seen here simply worn over a t-shirt and only half-zipped for the casual look.

The next overshirt offering is from Nudie Jeans with their Barney Jacket and seeing as though this piece is 100% cotton, it will be a solid piece to have on you in any season. In a natural olive green, this overshirt has been teamed with sweat for the cooler season and has been left open with a top button done for an altogether more alt look.

From Carhartt, we have this overshirt in Elba/Faded Orange which has a classic work-wear design but is given a fresh twist with this pleasant colour. Once again this is another overshirt with versatile uses either for the summer or to be layered and buttoned up in these cold months at the start of the year.  Crafted in a distinct faded orange colour, thanks to the brand dyeing treatment, this piece is ideal if you’re looking to add a splash of colour to your outerwear rotation. Featuring a cord collar, four pockets for essential storage and is finalised with Carhartt branding.

Finally, to complete our how to wear an overshirt rundown, we have this  Fred Perry overshirt. A classic overshirt in a dark caramel Corduroy represents a smarter alternative from the classic British brand while bringing this style comfortably into the modern-day. To give this classic piece the iconic smart look we have teamed it with an oxford and left the overshirt open to keep the look sharp and yet relaxed.

To kick proceedings off it would only be right that we get things underway with all things chrome metal. An inherent component of their outerwear offering, thanks to its versatility, functional qualities and dyeing capabilities, the fabric is often seen spread evenly across collections no matter the time of year.

More recently, with the overshirt becoming a more prominent piece in contemporary wardrobes, the nylon-based material has had its moment to shine, lending itself perfectly to the jacket meets shirt combination and compounding with the classic CP design ethos to dazzling effect. Case and point these rather stunning black and blue examples below…

CP Company Overshirt

Taking on a somewhat more traditional silhouette than some of CP’s overshirt output the garments hold the brand’s core values of usability and practicality at their core. Boasting a diverse, almost unfair, the line-up of intrinsic properties that encompass everything from breathability to elemental resistance, the lightweight jackets come imbued with quick-drying qualities and are treated with unique colour processes for a distinctive finish. If that wasn’t enough you can also find both a zip pocket to the chest and sleeve accompanied by the unmistakable lens motif and some handy adjustable cuffs.

Elsewhere CP Company set their experimental sights on more cotton-based endeavours, using their years of clothing expertise to revamp quintessential pieces of casual outfitting. Taking the usual zip hoodie formula to its very limit, this season sees the off-duty piece bolstered out with a google lens buckle secured hood, a partially ribbed hem and two front zip pockets for a more pragmatic approach. Pair it up with the brand’s ever-on-point joggers and you’ve got yourself an ensemble presenting maximum comfort laced with an urban edge.
