While eye-catching and unique pieces give a rush of excitement when you buy them, basics that are versatile tend to prove their worth over time—you grow to love them more with each wear. Warm shirts, we believe, strike that ideal balance between trendiness and utility. Scandinavian style influencers have already been sporting them since summer, pairing them with short shorts and dresses. Yet the true prime time for this garment is now, during the tricky transitional season when a puffer jacket feels too heavy and a leather jacket alone leaves you shivering.
So how do you style a warm shirt—sometimes labeled a “tight” shirt in certain online shops? We’re big fans of the approach Victoria Beckham showcased at her Fall/Winter 2020/2021 runway: tuck the shirt into a skirt like a top, creating a dramatic oversized silhouette, or layer it over a dress to add extra warmth. In the first scenario, slip a thin tank top underneath; later, if you’re heading to dinner, you can unbutton the shirt and wear it open like a jacket. In the second, swap the dress for a T-shirt with jeans, overalls, or even—surprise—another shirt made of a lighter fabric. And here’s a bonus: a warm, snug shirt is a lifesaver for expectant mothers in autumn, since it can be buttoned at the neck while left open over the belly. What do you think of this fresh take on a classic?

Caramel brown is one of the most sumptuously appealing hues, and a faux leather shirt adds a lovely sheen to it. With this “glazed” top, your outfit instantly becomes more tempting—and if you want a matching set, trousers in the same shade pair perfectly.

French label Isabel Marant is a key trendsetter for warm shirts. Designer Isabelle Marant favors clothes with intriguing but not overwhelming prints, which blend surprisingly well into casual looks.

Warm Corduroy Shirt
Here’s a shade of indescribable beauty that we’ve dubbed “creamy lavender.” We recommend it to anyone who finds too much gray in their wardrobe: pastel lavender is a fantastic way to break up a monochrome palette.
Stradivarius Corduroy Shirt
We suspect this shirt is inspired by Christian Dior—the colors and fringe details give it away. Why not style it the way the famous French fashion house does? Try it with black leather pants or a sheer black tulle skirt.

Warm Denim Shirt
Dark blue denim is absolutely essential year-round—summer, autumn, winter, and spring. This oversized shirt lets you create countless looks: pair it with skirts in unusual textures (sequins or patent leather, for instance) or use it as a temporary “cover” over a very sexy dress.

Warm Faux Suede Shirt
We sincerely encourage you not to shy away from white in autumn, especially when it comes to affordable mass-market finds. Even if a piece doesn’t last two seasons, a few cool looks that lift your mood are enough to justify the purchase in your mind.

Warm Flannel Shirt
Here’s a useful tip: warm, snug shirts are worth hunting for in men’s collections too. And one final piece of (slightly mischievous) advice: you can always give such a shirt to your boyfriend, then secretly—or openly—share it with him.
