The Shacket, and Why You Need One (Or a Few…)

The Shacket. You’ve probably heard of it, but if you haven’t - a Shacket is a cross between a shirt and a jacket. They’re a shirt in the sense of resembling a button down shirt with the buttons along the side with a collar and a jacket by way of its thicker and heavier material and pocket additions. They rose to popularity at the beginning of the summer, and then  sort of faded out. Probably because summer months are meant for summer clothing!

Now that we’re inching up on the fall season, filled with cool days and even cooler nights, the Shacket is a must have. Shackets are oversized and comfy, our favorite adjectives to describe a must-have piece!  

Now that you know what they are, how do you wear them? Shackets are perfect for layering, especially since they are a button down/jacket piece. They’d look great with biker shorts, leggings, or jeans. With that in mind, they’re perfect for a diversity of outfits. If you’re looking to dress an outfit up, the Shacket would be an effortless addition to your outfit, giving it more detail and layering. Additionally, Shackets are so comfortable and perfect for just tossing on over a hoodie and a pair of sweats. Shackets come in a variety of patterns and materials, making it desirable to add a bunch to your wardrobe.

Since Shackets are going to be the must haves this fall, a lot of stores are selling them. Whether they’re flannel, wool, corduroy, or even leather, one of these stores below is definitely going to serve you with a cute but comfortable Shacket for your wardrobe this season:
