overshirt
Shirt worn over
An overshirt is a shirt designed to be worn as an outer layer over another shirt or top.
Heavier than a typical button-down but lighter than a jacket, overshirts often feature a boxy cut and are made from materials like flannel, denim, or heavyweight cotton.
They blur the line between shirt and jacket, offering casual layering for transitional weather.
I threw on an overshirt over my tee before heading out.
