It has been doing the rounds over the last few years but this year, shirting has really cemented itself as a key trend this autumn/winter. As far as cool weather trends go, it manages to embrace a utilitarian vibe while also look smart and polished. If you want to take it up a notch (while also staying warm), I’d definitely consider embracing the shacket. As its name suggests, the shacket is a hybrid between a shirt and a jacket, and it’s unbelievably versatile.
The great thing about the shacket is that it serves the purpose of both of its namesakes well. It’s light enough to be able to tuck into jeans or pants yet it’s structured enough to be able to wear as a topper. If it still seems a little daunting, just remember that you could sub it in on the occasions where you’d usually wear a jacket. Team it with a white tee and jeans and it’s a casual look with an effortless energy to it. You could also utilise it as a layering piece, wearing it over a cosy sweater or with a ribbed knit dress–both will take you through the next few months with ease.
If it’s a trend you want to slowly dip your toe into, I’d start with a denim version. As many of us know, denim is a style chameleon and so wearable so you’re guaranteed to get plenty of wear out if it. And if you find yourself falling hard for this trend, go for neutral hues such as a khaki or cream as another iteration to embrace. If you want to add a little punchiness to your outfit, look to a checked version which will bring an understated look to life. The great thing about this particular piece is that it can be taken in so many different directions, and works back well with the wide leg jeans/pants trend that’s also blowing up right now.
So, if you’re looking to update the existing pieces in your closet, the shacket could be the missing piece of the puzzle. Versatile, ultra wearable and understatedly cool—what’s not to love?
