Back by popular demand, men’s overshirt jackets are a cult classic, and our favourite designers stocked here at Standout have plenty of new spring-ready styles.
Blending the formality of a shirt with the casual nature of a jacket, an overshirt or “shacket” as it has become widely known, is now a must-have in every man’s wardrobe. Offering the perfect balance of smart-casual style with one simple-yet-functional outerwear piece, an overshirt jacket is ready for wear no matter the occasion. From structured utilitarian styles to classic denim shackets and lightweight nylon overshirts, no matter what fabric or colour you opt for, the same timeless silhouette is guaranteed to score you bonus styling points.

Men’s Denim Jackets for 2024
When it comes to core springtime trends, style and durability, few clothing pieces rival the versatility of the classic denim jacket.
Now a wardrobe staple for many, and with good reason, the denim jacket originated as a workwear essential and has evolved over decades to match the style requirements of the modern man. Hailed as the perfect transitional outerwear piece to effortlessly take you between seasons, a denim jacket adds a rugged charm and edge to any outfit and is a testament to timeless design and modern functionality.
