What's a Shacket + How to style one

 So... what's a shacket? 

If you've been scrolling through Instagram or keeping up with fashion trends this past season then you may have seen the term "shacket" thrown around a time or two. I've seen girls style this piece with oversized sweatshirts or paired with cute skinny jeans... but what exactly is it? Is it an oversized flannel shirt? Jacket? 

Well... it's actually both. Hence the name.

What is a shacket?

So with a quick Google, a shacket is described as "a shirt thick enough to be halfway between a shirt and a jacket - an ideal, year - round layering piece" according to Thread. Pretty straight forward. Shacket may be a new term in the fashion world, but I feel that this piece has been around for years. On Instagram I've been sharing that I've been raiding my father's closet every time I visit and have found several oversized coudry shirts that we would now label as a "shacket." So, I guess you can say my dad was ahead of the trends, lol. 

How do you style a shacket?

Now that we understand what exactly a shacket is, how the heck do you style one? Really, how you would any other outtewear. My favorite way has been styling it with a mockneck sweater, my favorite skinny jeans and booties for an everyday look. For something a little more casual, layer this over your favorite hoodie and leggings. We love versitiliety.
