Autumn is approaching. That means your style options are about to expand significantly. It also means you need to be prepared for a sudden change in temperature as warm, sunny fall days give way to suddenly cool fall nights.
Thankfully, there is a simple solution that more and more men are starting to adopt. It’s layered. Layering is an easy way to add style and sophistication to your look without spending too much on fancy clothes. It also has the versatility you need to adjust style and comfort on the fly. That’s exactly where the overshirt comes in.
Think about it. Imagine you’re on a first date that starts with a breezy walk in autumn nature and ends at a fancy restaurant. To keep things casual and comfortable during the outdoor section of your date, unbutton your overshirt and feel the cool fall breeze. But once the sun goes down and it’s time to sit down to dinner, transition to a buttoned-up look to elevate your style to match the venue.
