Summer Staples: Light Layers & Overshirts at Triads Clothing

Summer Staples: Light Layers & Overshirts at Triads Clothing

Summer in the UK can be a real mixed bag. One minute you’re basking in warm sunshine, and the next you’re reaching for a layer to block a chilly breeze. This unpredictable weather means having versatile clothing options is key — and that’s exactly why the overshirt has become the ultimate summer MVP. Lightweight, easy to layer, and endlessly stylish, overshirts perfectly suit the ever-changing British summer climate.

At Triads Clothing, our latest new-season drop celebrates this trend with a standout selection of overshirts and light layers from some of the most respected menswear brands: Carhartt WIP, Ralph Lauren, Les Deux, and Napapijri. Whether you’re heading to a park hangout, running errands, or snapping streetwear shots around town, our curated edit has you covered.

Why Overshirts Matter This Season

Overshirts strike the perfect balance between the structure of a shirt and the functionality of a lightweight jacket — making them a must-have for the unpredictable British summer. Whether it's a breezy afternoon or a cooler evening, they offer just the right amount of warmth without the bulk.

As GQ UK puts it, “the overshirt is the all-season essential you didn’t know you needed,” ideal for layering cleanly over tees or under outerwear, and easy to pair with everything from tailored trousers to relaxed shorts.

At Triads, we’ve leaned into this versatile trend with our latest new-season arrivals. From Carhartt WIP’s durable cotton styles to Les Deux’s elevated minimalism, our curated edit of overshirts brings together the best of lightweight layering from some of the most respected names in menswear.

This season, Triads has brought together an impressive selection of overshirts from key labels to help you master this effortless style:

  • Carhartt WIP overshirts are a highlight — crafted from durable cotton canvas and designed to last, they offer rugged practicality with a clean silhouette.

  • Les Deux provides elevated minimalism, with smart details and premium fabrics that take the overshirt from casual to polished.

  • Napapijri brings functional heritage and technical fabrics, perfect for those who want a modern twist on classic outdoor wear.

  • And of course, Ralph Lauren offers timeless pieces like their water-resistant overshirts — ideal for unpredictable summer showers without compromising on style.

Staff Styling in Yarm: Ralph Lauren Water-Resistant Jacket

Our team at Triads loves to put these new arrivals to the test — and nothing shows off the versatility of an overshirt better than seeing it styled IRL. Check out our Instagram reel featuring our staff member rocking the sleek Ralph Lauren water-resistant jacket.

This jacket is a perfect lightweight outer layer for summer. Its clean silhouette and water-resistant finish mean it handles sudden showers and breezy days with ease, while still looking sharp and stylish.

How to Style Overshirts for Summer

Overshirts work best when you think of them as part of a layering system rather than a standalone piece. Here are some quick tips:

  • Casual Layering: Throw a Carhartt WIP canvas overshirt over a plain white tee with your favorite jeans or shorts. Add sneakers or trainers for an easygoing weekend vibe.

  • Smart Casual: Pair a Les Deux minimal overshirt with chinos and loafers or sleek sneakers. The clean lines and subtle details elevate your look while staying comfortable.

  • Weather-Ready: When rain threatens, the Ralph Lauren water-resistant overshirt is your go-to. Wear it over a polo shirt or light knit with technical footwear to keep dry without losing style points.

  • Outdoor Adventuring: Napapijri’s heritage overshirts mix technical fabrics and classic designs — perfect for hiking or city exploring on cooler summer days.

Why Overshirts Are Perfect for UK Summers

British summers are famous for their unpredictability — a sunny morning can quickly turn to a cool, drizzly afternoon. Overshirts answer this with their lightweight, adaptable nature. Unlike bulky jackets, they pack easily into a bag and provide just enough warmth when needed without overheating.

Plus, the range of styles available means there’s an overshirt for every personality and occasion — from rugged Carhartt workwear vibes to polished Ralph Lauren elegance.
