What to Wear under a Shacket

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. What to Wear under a Shacket - casual style

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. Chic shacket outfit idea

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. Shacket over loungewear outfit

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.

A white coat might be a challenging piece to style so here I share 4 Ways to Style a White Faux fur Coat for different occasions.

Down below I’m showing how I styled it four ways in a video so you can easily copy how I styled it.

The first outfit is a casual winter style for date night, brunch or anything in between that scope. However, the second look is more of feminine touch and it is good if you are attending a wedding in the Winter, Baptism or bay showers. You can also wear it going to church as a Sunday best dress. For the third look, It is a very fashionable look as well for date nights, night out with girlfriends and some party you might wanna attend. Lastly, This look is good for a night party. The white faux fur coat just gives it a more expensive taste.

This coat is so soft and warm and you will love the quality as I do. It is under $50 and very affordable but looks very expensive. I have been comparing it to the expensive fur coats I have worn previously. This is such a style staple for Winter to elevate your looks. I can also think of wearing it with just a plain shirt, jeans and a pair of sneakers if you must. This piece is just so versatile also because of the color of it. I may say it is a Winter must-have and is a classic item that can be worn over and over again during the cold months.

Can you tell me which one is your favorite and also do not hesitate to message me if you would like to see other outfits that needs styling.

Another one that I love is the Fall Trend Women’s poncho. It is a chic and classic layering style for all your simple casual looks. I opted for a neutral color here to add sophistication. It is easily paired with anything you can think of. This is a very easy look to re create and can be worn for smart casual look, brunch with friends, strolling around the mall and other simple things you might wanna dress up casually.

I can also imagine wearing this if you are dining outdoors and you are near a fireplace sipping some wine with your family or friends. Even as a simple date night outfit I will consider wearing this. Also if you are trying to visit a winery this Fall this will be perfect as well. The poncho I am wearing here  is currently out fo stock but I have added different versions here below:

The one I am wearing here is like a shawl type but some of the versions I added on top have like an oversized sweater style look. It can be paired with leggings, jeans, slacks and a whole variety of pants you can think off. It just depends on your personal style really

As for the shoes, you can wear it like mine with ankle boots, knee high boots, if you are more on the rugged look can pair it with combat boots as well. So many styling options and looks that you can recreate with just one poncho. I must say this is another Fall style staple you should have in your closet.
