UNIQLO Denim Overshirt Review: Best Commute Outfit Essential for Soft Vintage Vibes

Clicked “buy” on this UNIQLO denim overshirt last Sunday night—added the 65 BLUE one in unisex M (since my 5’9” frame fits their M perfectly!) and hit checkout in 2 mins. Package showed up Wednesday morning: simple UNIQLO plastic bag, no extra bulk, which I love for less waste. Tore it open fast, and the first thing I noticed? The fabric—100% cotton denim, moderately thick but not stiff. Runs a little looser weave, so it feels soft right out the bag, no “break-in” hassle.

The fit’s chef’s kiss for commutes: relaxed silhouette with dropped shoulders, so it layers over a t-shirt or light sweater without feeling tight. The body’s roomy enough to move—grabbing coffee or typing on the train never feels restrictive. Wear it open over a white tee and black chinos, or button it up with dark jeans—both look polished but not overdone. Bonus: the denim’s got that subtle vintage look from the thicker thread, and it’ll only get better as I wear it (color develops nicely, per the details!).

Only heads-up: it’s low stock right now! If you want one, don’t wait—go to the UNIQLO US page (link in my bio, searches for “UNIQLO Denim Overshirt Denim Overshirt” work too) and pick your size/color. Machine wash cold’s easy for busy weeks, no dry clean needed—total commute win!

Generously sized, nice fabric. And has one of the things I love about Uniqlo shirts—a long open vent above the cuff with a one button placket. If you roll your sleeves up, this feature makes a huge difference.

I absolutely love this Uniqlo denim overshirt! The fit is relaxed but not baggy, making it easy to wear on its own or layered over a t-shirt or hoodie. The denim has just the right weight. It’s sturdy enough to feel durable, but still soft and comfortable from the first wear. The stitching and details are really clean, and it has that classic Uniqlo simplicity that works with almost anything in my wardrobe. It’s quickly become one of my go-to pieces for both casual and slightly dressed-up looks. I’ve already gotten compliments on it, and I can see myself wearing this for years. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a versatile, timeless shirt-jacket.

i bought an XL for my 6'2 160 pound husband. It's definitely oversized, but he loved it so much that he wore it immediately... he wouldn't let me exchange it for an L. Super soft, love the color, looks great. Perfect weight for early fall.
