overshirts

Tops over tops

Overshirts are shirts designed to be worn as an outer layer over other clothing, typically heavier than regular shirts but lighter than jackets.

They often feature a button front and chest pockets, functioning as casual outerwear: He threw on an overshirt over his t-shirt.

The style blurs the line between shirt and jacket.
