With cold weather in sight, our wardrobe begins its annual evolution for the fall/winter period. The time's not quite come to deploy a heavyweight jacket, so we're searching for that perfect midground. And a great solution is an overshirt.

Somewhere between shirt and jacket, the overshirt acts as a warm top layer when the sun drops behind the clouds, but won’t burden you when it’s not being worn. It will also provide tons of layering opportunities to match any fall cardigans, oversized shirts, or to have under weather-proof jackets.

We’re on a mission to upgrade your transitional looks, so we’ve put together the best of the best top layers. Pieces from Jacquemus or Lemaire weigh in at the luxury end of the spectrum, while more affordable pieces from Rassvet and more show that you needn't drop four figures for a viable overshirt.
