How to Style a Shacket

Fall is one of our favorite seasons to style because it offers a ton of versatility. Since this season is so transitional, you can expect to utilize layering techniques, pattern mixing and matching, and accessorizing to elevate your looks. 

This fall, we’re encouraging the girlies to consider shackets as a closet staple. But if you’re not sure how to make a shacket outfit work, you might be a little worried about exploring this style. Be bold! Try something new when you check out our recommendations for a few classic shacket looks, as well as some unique styling options!

What is a Shacket?

Shackets are a hybrid of shirt and jacket that combine elements from both to create a new type of outerwear. Have you ever wondered how to make the coziness of your go-to hoodie appropriate for more formal occasions? The answer is a shacket outfit! With a slightly oversized silhouette and lightweight composition, a shacket is the number-one choice for layered ensembles.

1. Keep It Simple | Classic Denim + Tee

For first-time shacket outfits, we love keeping it simple with a classic base ensemble — like jeans and a t-shirt. Choose your go-to denim pants and pair them with a boat-neck tee before putting on a stylish shacket to complete the look. If you’re feeling bold, style a shacket that features mixed materials and elevated details, like lace, sequins, or fringe.

You can add a little more oomph to this look when you choose matching accessories. Let the shacket shine when you keep your boots, belt, and bag a neutral color, like black or beige.

2. Falling for Summer | Floral Dresses

Sometimes, summer doesn’t quite feel like it’s over, but you still need to be prepared for brisk autumn mornings or breezier days. On these occasions, we love paying homage to the summer months with a floral dress layered over tights and boots, topped with a shacket. This shacket outfit ensures you feel warm if the weather dips a bit, but doesn’t force you to bundle up for winter just yet!

If you need to close your shacket against the chill, but you feel like the oversized silhouette diminishes your style, add a large belt over the top to accentuate your waist.

3. Athletic Utility | Joggers + Boots

We love a good camo jogger or animal print pant when you need to run around all day. But just because these styles are a little more relaxed and athletic, you don’t have to feel like you’re wearing pajamas! You can still make an outfit shine when you style a shacket to complete your look! Wear a white tank and a neutral shacket style to let your pant print shine. You should also consider chunky fashion sneakers that match your top to finish off your shacket outfit.

4. Shackets for the Office | Slacks + Blouse

Just because a shacket feels a little less structured than a blazer or cardigan, doesn’t mean it’s not workwear appropriate. We recommend a shacket outfit for the office to blend relaxed style with corporate aesthetics.

Start your outfit off with tailored pants, perhaps with a print. While black or navy can elevate your ensemble, plaid or pinstripes can add a unique twist. Next, put on a button-up blouse in a color that matches your pants. Finally, it’s time to choose your shacket. Keep your look professional with a solid-color option, or consider plaid, houndstooth, or tweed patterns for a bit of professional fun.

5. Date Night Outfits | Pops of Color

Fall dates are such a great time to be out and about with your partner, visiting apple orchards, picking out pumpkins, and sipping on warm lattes. If you have some fall dates planned, this shacket outfit is for you!

Start your date night ensemble with a super simple pant and shirt combo — these aren’t the stars of the show! Consider denim or leggings for your bottoms, as well as a loose v-neck or classic button-up shirt for your top. Next, choose a bold, detailed shacket. You can opt for bright colors, mixed patterns, or patched styles to explore unique, eye-catching details. Once you have your shacket, it’s time to match your shoes. The point of this look is to stand out with a bright shacket and shoes to match, so look for a pair of booties that feature bright red, rust, or other fall hues that call back to your outerwear.

6. Barbie-Core | Bright Pink Hues

With the resurgence of hot pink in the fashion world, it’s no surprise that many women are embracing their inner Barbie with ensembles featuring this vibrant color. Well, a shacket outfit is another fun way to make Barbie-core work. Find a shacket in the perfect shade of pink and pair it with a black sweater dress that falls just below the knee. Wear a pair of black booties and a neckscarf with a subtle pattern to complete your look.

While pink isn’t strictly a fall color, pairing it with a black knit material and booties provides the seasonal touch you need to make the look work.
