Fall weather can be tricky. It seems the weather is yet to decide on its mood at this time of year. A denim jacket might be necessary for the morning chill, but become a burden during your lunch break. This is where shackets step in. The shacket is thicker than a shirt but less heavy than an actual jacket—making it the perfect outerwear for fall.
If you feel like you have been seeing more of these items recently, you’re not wrong. Shackets have definitely seen a rise in popularity this year. Not only are they perfect for the season’s temperature, but they’re also endlessly versatile. Although the garment’s roots are in military uniforms, this season’s style is nothing but uniform. Sahckets vary from plaid and other statement fabrics to neutral such as beige and pale pink.
They can be worn buttoned up on their own or as a layering piece over a t-shirt or a turtleneck. This versatility also makes the shacket fit nearly any occasion from apple picking to a drink with friends. We must admit, the shacket is such a perfect blend between practicality and personality that it may just replace the beloved denim jacket as the ultimate fall staple.
