It’s not a shirt, it’s not a jacket, but a secret third thing formally referred to as The Shacket. They are more lightweight than a jacket but sturdier than a button-down shirt. Often with a collar and a bit of a utility style, shackets are perfect for layering and therefore perfect for fall weather (at least that’s what a LA gal like me can only assume since I am writing this in 80-degree weather. Seriously, where is fall??). If you’ve been paying attention to the last few fashion posts you probably can guess that the EHD team is no stranger to this fall staple. So first, we thought we would share the ones we already have and how we like to style them.
Emily
Denim Ames Oversized Shirt-Jacket in Corrigan Wash: If you are in the market, this shacket is GOOD. Not too stiff/heavy, not too floppy/wrinkly – with a good amount of structure and layerability. I’m wearing a small here. Please note both styles of pockets.
Britt Work Jacket: This striped one is lighter weight – more like a thick shirt, which is good over a thin shirt or a tank top but doesn’t layer as well over a thicker shirt or a sweatshirt.
Denim Shirred-Back Crop Shirt: This is more so a denim shirt, but because of the crop and boxy shape, it can double as a shacket if worn open. I paired it with this with a ‘Let’s Go Outside’ shirt, denim shorts, and sneakers for a casual running errands look.
Mallory
Women’s Utility Chore Jacket: My shacket is $35 and so comfy. I sized down to an XS and I have very long arms so I’d recommend going on the smaller size unless you wanna really lean into the oversized fit (which is also cool). The color is one of my favorite colors to wear and is generally hard to find, and I’ve been getting lots of compliments on it which always feels good 🙂
Ryann
Workwear Shacket: Every time I wear this I get a ton of compliments and most people are surprised when I tell them it’s not a million dollars. I love the workwear vibe and oversized fit and usually lean into the bagginess with loose-fitting pants or jeans. I am wearing a size large so if you want a more snug fit, I would suggest sizing down.
