Look #1: Velvet Holiday Dress

This first look is very chic. I love wearing green during the Holidays and this velvet dress is a winner and is only $30, you can’t beat that! I just paired it with my old black suede pumps and really looks chic, can also be worn for Winter weddings, holiday work parties, and more. If you plan on spending time outside, even just between the car and the party, be sure to grab your long topcoat for warmth. Then don’t forget your silver jewelry and your favorite black handbag.

Look #2: Faux Leather Pencil Skirt & Blouse

This second look is my favorite! It is really just so adorable and fit for almost any occasion. I have been eyeing some mesh sleeves tops. And these one from Amazon are so good, true to size and really elevates a look! I got 2 of them and here is the other one in black. I paired it with this $17 faux leather skirt also from Amazon and wore it with my old suede pumps. One of the best ways to make an outfit look more expensive is to play with textures. You can see I did that here with the suede pumps, leather skirt, and fabric shirt. They all work together to create a visually appealing ensemble.

Look #3: Gold Sequin Dress

This is also glam and would be perfect ringing in the New Year’s, as the sparkles truly represent all the Holiday and New Year vibes. This dress is only $37, which again is a total steal. Because this dress is sleeveless, you will want to grab a style topcoat to keep warm. I recommend tan, white, or black to compliment the look. You may even want to add an additional layer of sheer black tights if you think it will be very cold.

SHOP THE POST:

Look #4: Black Pants Holiday Outfit

Last but not the least is these velvet joggers that I truly adore. They are among my favorite pants because they allow me to maintain my comfort with scarifying my style. I haven’t worn any velvet joggers before but the quality of this one is very good! Being paired on a red sweater makes this look simply casual but chic at the same time. They also add an extra element of texture to the outfit that makes it look more expensive.

So now, here are more items you might wanna look at that are also under $40 dollars. All of these are winners and I hope that they inspire you to create an amazing holiday look this season. If one of these really sticks out to you, let me know in the comments below! And tell me your plans for this holiday season. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Wondering What to Wear under a Shacket? I am sharing different styles to wear with this shirt jacket trend with is very popular right now. Let me start with the first look I have here… Since this is a pretty new trend that we are all trying to work on. But first…

What to Wear under a Shacket

What Is A Shacket?

A shacket is a hybrid between a shirt and a jacket. Exactly like the same implies. They come in plenty of colors, patterns (like plaid shackets), and styles (like cropped, short, and long shackets). So its easy to find the perfect one for you, or maybe two or three.

Usually, they are made of heavier materials like flannel, corduroy, faux leather, denim, or wool. After all, they are meant to keep you warmer than just a shirt. But any heavier weight fabric or material will do.

What makes a shacket unique is that it can be worn as both a shirt and a jacket, although women tend to style them as a jacket over another cute shirt or tank top because of the oversized fit.

Just like a cardigan or a flannel shirt, the right shacket can really elevate an outfit and provide some extra warmth during the colder months. Like during fall and winter. But they are also really nice for spring, as the weather is cold in the morning but warms up by the middle of the day.

Why Is It Called A Shacket?

It is not clear where the term “shacket” first originated. We saw this type of layering piece rise in popularity in the 1940s, but pop culture has just recently given clothing that is a cross between and shirt and a jacket it’s official name as a shacket.

According to research found here, “The first “shacket” was the CPO jacket, a thick wool shirt with breast pockets issued to chief petty officers in the US Navy in the 1930s.” It was not the first and it will not be the last time that American fashion has taken notes from military attire. Very cool, and very fashion-forward.

Shacket Outfit Ideas

Casual Shacket Outfit Idea

I worked on a more casual outfit with neutral colors in case you wanna go to a pumpkin patch, a brewery, or just hanging out with friends. I put together the tank top, jeans, belt and a Chelsea boot to complete the look. When it comes to this look, don’t be afraid to add a pop of color if you want. Like red or burgundy. And although it looks better to leave the shacket unbuttoned, I love that I can button up this shacket when I get cold. Don’t forget to add some accessories that match the belt to top off the look. 

Running Errands Shacket Outfit Idea

Next up is for a rainy day kinda vibe, I just put together a pair of leggings and hoodie sweatshirt with some sneakers and this will be my errand look, school drop-off kinda style. Long sleeves over long sleeves are perfect for those frigid mornings. To make your outfit even warmer, you can opt for fleece-lined leggings and a cute winter hat.

Date Night Shacket Outfit Idea

I dressed up the shacket here wearing it over a knit dress and a knee-high boots. Ready for some brunch with the girls or a date night chic and comfy outfit. If you are trying to look cute, this is such a classy look! What I love most about this outfit is how the oversized shacket perfectly balances the tight dress and boots. Perfection. This outfit would also look good with a denim shacket.

Hygge Shacket Outfit Idea

Worked on just throwing in your shacket over your lounge set, making you look put together and not looking like as if you just got out of bed. Perfect for those warmer fall days, before the weather turns completely cold. If it is a little cooler outside but you still want to wear shorts, consider adding a corduroy shacket for added warmth. Like when you are going to the gym on cold days. Just add the shacket for the cold walk into the gym and to and from your car, and there is no need to bring an extra change of clothes.

Athleisure Shacket Outfit Idea

Lastly, more of an athleisure style, just put it over your gym clothes to make you warm and straight to your local grocery store or get you some coffee on the way and you are all set. I was also thinking having a turtleneck top underneath. That would also be a perfect look pairing it with leather pants or jeans or shorts.

Below I linked some shackets under $50. Some good brands to shop for shackets are Free People, Good American, Everlane, and H&M. Although shackets are very popular right now, so you can find them almost anywhere. Just always double-check the fabric if you are going for warmth.

This is another style that may not look feminine but by adding a brooch or a chic necklace with it. It already shows the chic style you are trying to show off. This will be a good one if it is a merino twill fabric.
