Overshirts
Men's overshirts – versatile companions for everyday life and leisure
Men's overshirts are a great choice for changeable weather and uncomplicated looks. You can wear them open over a T-shirt, buttoned up as an alternative to a shirt or as an extra layer under a jacket. Thanks to their slightly sturdier construction, they are more robust than classic shirts while remaining comfortable to wear. From solid-coloured styles to designs with pockets, shirt collars or zip-off sleeves, you'll find overshirts for everyday life, travel and active days outdoors.
All important information about men's overshirts
Here you'll find the most important information about the materials, fits, sizes and colours of our men's overshirts.
Materials
- Cotton: Natural, comfortable against the skin and breathable. Overshirts made from pure cotton are well suited for everyday wear and can easily be worn over T-shirts or long-sleeve shirts.
- Cotton blend: Combines the natural feel of cotton with shape-retaining and easy-care properties. This makes the material blend ideal for overshirts that are worn regularly.
- Corduroy: A durable fabric with a textured surface. Corduroy overshirts add depth to an outfit and are especially suitable for cooler days.
- Polyester: Easy to care for, durable and shape-retaining. Polyester supports the durability of the overshirt and helps it keep its shape even with regular wear.
Fits and sizes
To ensure your overshirt fits comfortably, we recommend using our size guide. Overshirts can have a slightly looser fit so that they can be comfortably worn over a T-shirt, long-sleeve shirt or lightweight sweater. If you prefer to wear your overshirt more like a shirt, choose your regular size. For greater freedom of movement or a relaxed layering look, choose one size larger.
Colours and details for versatile looks
Our men's overshirts are available in a range of colours. Shades such as beige, blue, navy, grey, green, brown, black and white are easy to combine and work well with many outfits. Depending on the style, pockets, press studs and shirt collars provide practical details. This allows you to wear your overshirt as a lightweight jacket, an alternative to a shirt or an extra layer depending on the weather, occasion and outfit.

Frequently asked questions about men's overshirts
Can you wear an overshirt as a jacket?
Yes, an overshirt can replace a lightweight jacket on mild days. Thanks to its slightly sturdier material, it offers more protection than a classic shirt while remaining lighter than many jackets. An overshirt is a practical layer, especially in spring, autumn or on cool summer evenings. You can wear it open over a T-shirt or button it up when temperatures drop. In stronger wind or rain, it can also be worn under a functional jacket or gilet.
When do you wear an overshirt?
Overshirts are particularly suitable for transitional seasons when mornings are cool and temperatures become milder during the day. They provide an extra layer without feeling too warm. They are also practical for travel, everyday wear or outdoor walks because they are easy to throw on and versatile to combine. In summer, lighter styles work well on cool evenings. In winter, you can wear an overshirt as a layer under a jacket.
How do I care for my overshirt?
Always check the care instructions on the label before washing, as materials and construction may vary depending on the style. Many overshirts can be cleaned at low temperatures on a gentle cycle. Turn the overshirt inside out before washing, fasten buttons or zips and use a mild detergent. Air drying is recommended to protect the material and maintain the fit. For corduroy or cotton-blend styles, you should also avoid washing or drying at excessively high temperatures.
