The Utilitarian Shirt

The Utilitarian Shirt by Outerknown is your go-to layer when you want durability, structure, and easygoing style. Inspired by classic workshirts, it’s designed for everyday wear—whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or tackling weekend projects. The silhouette is relaxed but not sloppy, making it easy to wear buttoned up or open over a tee. Key Features: workwear-inspired shirt with a versatile casual fit; button-front placket and chest pockets for essentials; built to function as both a shirt and light overshirt; ideal for layering across multiple seasons. Fabric & Feel: constructed from sturdy shirting fabric, The Utilitarian Shirt balances weight and comfort so it feels substantial without being stiff; it softens with time and wear, gaining that lived-in character while retaining its structure. Why It’s Good: a durable, wear-anywhere shirt reduces the need for multiple trend-driven tops; neutral styling keeps it relevant season after season; versatility as both shirt and jacket trims your closet and footprint. Fit & Care: cut for a relaxed fit that layers comfortably over tees or light sweaters—take your usual size for a classic look; wash cold, line dry, and skip excessive heat to maintain the fabric’s integrity. Style Notes: button it up with chinos and boots for a work-ready uniform, or throw it on open over a graphic tee with jeans and sneakers for laid-back, off-duty style.
