Have you ever heard of a shacket? If not, you will.
Think of it like this: It’s a shirt and a jacket mixed together to create a wonderful blend of coziness. Outside, it looks like a relaxed shirt, but inside, it’s just as thick and warm as a heavy coat.
This trend has been around since at least 2019, but it’s made a major splash in retail stores for the fall/winter season. I predict it will become a staple piece in your closet that will take you through every season — well, except summer.
I love the shacket because it’s effortless while still providing a clean, styled look. Shackets now come in many styles and prints. The most popular print I’ve seen is plaid, which I love because it fits with the holiday season. But there are many other fabrics, colors, lengths and types to choose from — like faux leather, plaid, quilted, wool blend, shimmery metallic, long, short, oversized and even fitted.
For styling, I went with something super simple. The shacket is a statement piece in itself, so I paired it with cute denim and a simple top and accessorized with a thick brimmed hat and a bold lip.
If you love to layer, this trend is for you! One of the best things about the shacket is that it looks great on all body types, and it’s stylish without trying too hard. In fact, it may just be the new jean jacket.
