Layering an overshirt, general advice for looser fits

Hey guys, so I came across this reddit post that was great for inspo, so im trying to sneak in a few pieces in my wardrobe to progressively learn "how to dress" like this https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/gjrd22/how_to_breathe_an_album/ I got an overshirt, specifically this one, that i got for a great price (carharrt wip arden, first picture): and some black pants like the second picture im trying to figure out what to layer it with, anyone got suggestions? thought about a hoodie maybe

about to start a canadian winter so any pieces that would keep me warm are also very much welcome any and all recommendations for stuff that would go with any of the pieces i linked or advice on tucks and similar are most welcome.

hoodie, crew neck sweatshirts, puffer vests just be wary that fleece doesn't protect you as well if it gets too windy so err on wearing heavier layers if that's gonna be your outer layer cargos are also a great way to create an overall loose fit

i knew about cargo sorts but somehow completely forgot about cargo pants. That's a good recommendation! All I have now are a pair of jeans, chinos and the ones I linked but ill definitely eye a few pants for my next purchase yeah for sure, whenever it gets colder than 0 its time to bring out the technical clothing but i think a wool underlayer + hoodie + that shirt should be okay for days where ill only be commuting and theres not too much snow around speaking of hoodies, got any favorite ones? ive been looking at the champion ones and saw house of blanks but think its too much for a hoodie, although their natural color would probably go great with the overshirt i linked here's where i'm not too sure: when wearing an overshirt, would i want a tighter or looser hoodie? underneath

depends on if you sized up the overshirt or not

I did not, although they tend to run big afaik I'm 5' 6 and asked for a small which should sit like 3 inches below my waist

gotcha i'm about the same height as you and have a similar overshirt from them in small, so a loose hoodie should be fine honestly I think the carhartt (not wip) rain defender hoodies are pretty nice but they're not on sale yet would wait a bit since they tend to go on sale a lot and $40 is a good price

it definitely is, a lot more reasonable than 130+ for house of blanks for example the issue is i like their colors better i was eyeing the "natural" one for the above setup there's also a few cool champion colors like "sandrock" which i think is current season and should go on sale too have yet to check the carharrt ones you recommended

if you can see yourself getting a lot of use out of it the more expensive option might be better (unless it's severely out of price range) since sometimes getting an alternative you're not 100% sure on ends up making you not want to wear it ultimately up to you though!

good perspective, maybe I'll see which brand pops up with a sale first and go from there paying close to 100 bucks for a hoodie is still a bit iffy to me ahahaha but if ill be wearing it for a while, might as well. I'm gonna read the reviews see if they hold up for a few years thanks man!
