From Day to Night: Styling One Piece, Two Ways

Because great style should carry you from sunrise to after-dark.

We get it—life moves fast. Between morning meetings, afternoon errands, and last-minute dinner plans, changing outfits throughout the day isn't always realistic. That’s where smart wardrobe choices come in—pieces that adapt to your schedule without compromising on style.

One of our most-loved transitional staples? The Structured Overshirt. Tailored yet relaxed, it offers just enough structure to elevate a casual look while remaining effortlessly comfortable. Let’s break down how to wear it from day to night—for both men and women.

For Him: Casual Coffee to Dinner Date

Day Look: Laid-Back & Polished
Throw your overshirt over a plain white tee, add straight-leg chinos, and finish with clean white sneakers. Top it off with sunglasses and a minimalist watch. It’s relaxed, refined, and ready for anything.

Night Look: Sleek & Sophisticated
Button up the overshirt over a black merino knit, swap the chinos for dark denim or tailored trousers, and step into a pair of leather Chelsea boots. Roll the cuffs, style your hair, and you’re good to go.

Clarkandmorris Tip: Keep the accessories simple. A leather belt and subtle cologne go a long way.

For Her: Office Hours to After-Hours

Day Look: Smart & Effortless
Wear the overshirt open over a fitted tank or bodysuit, tucked into high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt. Add loafers or mules and delicate jewelry for a look that’s both professional and comfortable.

Night Look: Chic & Unexpected
Transform the overshirt into a belted dress by cinching the waist with a structured leather belt. Add ankle boots, a bold lip, and a sleek clutch for a refined yet fashion-forward evening outfit.

Clarkandmorris Tip: Choose a neutral-toned overshirt to maximize styling flexibility—think olive, stone, or charcoal.

Why the Overshirt Deserves a Spot in Your Wardrobe

  • Versatility: Layer it, belt it, button it, or drape it—there’s no wrong way to wear it.

  • Seasonal Longevity: Perfect for cool spring mornings, breezy summer nights, and even under coats in fall.

  • Tailored Comfort: Structured enough to look sharp, relaxed enough to feel easy.

One Piece. Endless Possibilities.

At Clarkandmorris, we believe in curating pieces that work as hard as you do. The Structured Overshirt is more than just a layer—it’s a wardrobe game-changer.

Dress smarter. Live easier. Repeat.
