Overshirts – everywhere you look, men are wearing them. But despite their increasing popularity, a lot of confusion surrounds these versatile garments.
If you're like a lot of guys, you might not even be quite sure what an overshirt is. No need to worry. We have you covered!
虽然衬衫本质上是一件休闲,舒适的衣服,但您可以穿着时尚。
在本文中,我们将向您展示how to wear men's overshirts不看起来马虎。
什么是衬衫?
Almost any casual garment worn on the upper body made from a thicker fabric than a regular shirt and thinner fabric than a jacket could technically be called an overshirt. “Some people even lump denim jackets and quilted jackets underneath the umbrella term “overshirt.”
的确,“衬衫”是一个可以应用于各种服装的一般术语。但是,为了本文的目的,一件过于衬衫(有时也称为衬衫夹克或更少的“ shacket”)是一个广义的术语,它是指不太衬衫的衣服。
This article won't discuss garments, such as denim jackets and quilted jackets that already fit neatly into existing definitions. Instead, we'll focus on shirt-jacket hybrids.
Are Overshirts Jackets?
Despite sometimes being referred to as “shirt jackets,”衬衫不是夹克。他们在男人的wardrob占据一个独特的地位e, not quite a jacket and not a regular shirt.
Why Wear An Overshirt?
While not a jacket, overshirts can provide the same core functions— providing added protection and warmth. Since they blur the line, workshirts are incredibly versatile.
Overshirt's heavyweight fabric is ideal for layering in colder weather. Especially when worn over a t-shirt or a hoodie, or underneath a coat, an overshirt will add needed warmth when the temperature drops.
Shirt jackets are also convenient for working and relaxing outdoors. They often have several deep pockets that you can use for carrying tools or other items. Also, being thick and rugged, overshirts can help protect you against cuts and abrasions.
不仅衬衫是实用的,而且看起来很棒。When they fit well, they help to add bulk to your shoulders and upper body, making you look more muscular.
Types Of Overshirts
Overshirts come in many varieties. Therefore, things like hem length, the number of pockets, fabric type, and thickness aren't standardized. I like to think of overshirts as existing on a spectrum between shirts and jackets. Some overshirts are more “shirt-like,” and others are more “jacket-like” than others.
Below are just a few of the numerous types of overshirts:
#1法兰绒衬衫
When I think of an overshirt, the first thing that comes to mind is a heavy flannel shirt-jacket with a checked or tartan pattern. A flannel overshirt is the best option if you're looking for a cozy overshirt for fall.
#2羊毛衬衫
Wool overshirts are ideal for winter。与大多数织物不同,羊毛即使在潮湿的情况下也有助于保留热量。它也非常耐用。一件好的羊毛衬衫的价格可能比其他类型的衬衫要高,因为羊毛服装的生产昂贵。
Buy the highest quality wool shirt jacket you can afford to lower your cost per wear andsave money in the long run。
#3军事风格的衬衫
受军事风格的衬衫经常在袖口上带有腰包,肩章和扣子。您几乎可以将它们视为削皮的野战夹克。
Military-inspired overshirts are most commonly found in cotton or canvas in solid colors such as navy, green, or a shade of brown.
#4 Denim overshirts
Denim is also twill-woven cotton fabric.Denim overshirts占据牛仔衬衫和牛仔夹克之间的空间。它们通常比牛仔夹克稍长(应达到皮带下方)。牛仔布衬衫通常有乳房口袋。
Dark blue denim overshirts are more formal than light washes.
#5 Corduroy overshirts
Casual and durable, corduroy is a fantastic fabric for overshirts. Corduroy, being a somewhat uncommon fabric, will help you stand out. Go for a brown corduroy shirt-jacket with double breast pockets for a classic option.
#6 Overshirts with zippers
Most overshirts have buttons. Occasionally, you can find an overshirt that has a zipper in the front. These overshirts usually lean more towards the jacket end of the spectrum.
How To Choose The Right Overshirt
How should an overshirt fit?
Making sure that your overshirt fits properly will make the difference between looking sloppy and looking sharp.
The ideal overshirt fit depends on how you plan on wearing it. For example, if you plan to wear your overshirt over a thick sweater, you should opt for a looser, slightly longer fit than if you intend to wear it over just a t-shirt. However, if you plan on wearing it over a t-shirt most of the time, you can go for an overshirt that fits closer to the body.
您可能已经注意到,超大的衬衫夹克是“进来的”。但是,在您跳上这一趋势之前,您应该知道,总的来说,任何超大的东西都不会像适合您的衣服那样讨人喜欢。此外,一旦趋势消失,超大的棚屋可能会在几年内看起来很重要。
If you're still interested in buying oversized, avoid large, bold patterns as they can make an oversized shacket appear comically large on you. Instead, opt for plain colors or small, muted patterns.
How long should overshirts be?
Choosing an overshirt of the proper length is a critical element of fit. An overshirt that is too long or too short will throw off your proportions— people will be able to tell that something looks “off” about your outfit even if they cannot pinpoint the cause.
Overshirts should be long enough to cover your belt. You should be able to raise your hands above your head without exposing your midriff.
The hem should extend no further than the bottom of the fly. You don't want to look like you're wearing a dress.
You want to be sure that your outermost layer is longer than the layers underneath. For example, you shouldn't wear an overshirt underneath a bomber jacket that is several inches shorter than the overshirt.
3 Rules For Wearing An Overshirt
规则1:钉子
When it comes to dressing well, fit is king. Make sure that the fit of your overshirt is intentional. Make sure it fits the way you'd like before purchasing, or make plans to take it to a tailor.
Don't wear an oversized shirt-jacket unless you're intentionally going for an oversized look.
Rule 2: Four Layers Max
One of the best things about cold weather is that you can comfortably wear more layers than in warmer months. That said, you can wear too many layers.
Generally, three layers look better than two layers. Added layers help to give your outfit greater depth. However, when you have four or more layers, you run the risk of looking too bulky.
Rule 3: Never tuck in an overshirt
Overshirts are not made to be tucked in. They should always be worn untucked.
穿着衬衫的6种方法
#1 Wearing an overshirt on its own
许多外套式衬衫可以穿就像一个普通的休闲collared shirt. Denim, military-inspired, and flannel overshirts are best for this.
Wear a red flannel overshirt with navy chinos. Throw on a pair of brown leather chukkas and a matching belt.
#2 Wearing an overshirt with a t-shirt
An unbuttoned overshirt worn over top of a t-shirt is a great relaxed look for a relaxed evening by the campfire.
Consider wearing a classic white crew neck tee underneath a dark blue wool overshirt. Pair with gray-wash jeans and black leather sneakers. Finish this look by adding a field watch.
#3 Wearing an overshirt over a sweater
Another option is to wear a cable knit sweater underneath a shirt jacket with a zipper.
您可能会穿着深绿色衬衫夹克下面的灰色毛衣。深蓝色的牛仔裤和牛布牛布鲁斯将有助于提升这种外观。
#4穿着手动劳动衬衫
Overshirts were originally a garment worn by men that work with their hands.
When choosing an overshirt for manual labor, you'll want to choose a cut that is somewhat looser than you'd probably wear for casual social situations. Look for a shirt-jacket with large pockets for storing tools and other items. You'll also want to look for a thick, durable fabric such as flannel or canvas.
Simply wearing an overshirt with what you already wear when working outdoors will help you create a professional image. Check outthis videofor more working man style tips).
#5穿着外套的过衬衫
在寒冷的天气里打扮得好可能具有挑战性。关键是要了解layering。
An overshirt is an excellent middle layer when dressing for winter. For truly frigid conditions, you could pull on a warm synthetic base layer, then a crewneck pullover sweater, followed by an overshirt, and finally, an overcoat.
On the bottom half, wear long johns underneath gray flannel trousers and dress boots. Don't forget a pair of皮手套和warm hat。
