How to Style a Shacket

A shacket is something that I touched briefly on last year when it was just becoming popular and trendy. A shacket is a "shirt-jacket" that's perfect as your topper for fall weather. It's another layer that is cozy and looks great on, but isn't super bulky. Most shirt jackets are either a flannel, a solid color, or a fleece material. Now that we know shackets are here to stay, we need to know how to style them! Here are five ways I would style my shacket!

1. Straight Leg Jeans + Booties + Lightweight Sweater

This is the perfect way to wear a shacket while looking chic and effortless. Such a great way to style a shacket for day or night. Straight leg jeans and booties dress the shacket up a little while the lightweight sweater adds a touch of sweetness to the whole look. You can wear this as an everyday outfit or even going out at night. This is such a great fall look because it looks fabulous but will keep you warm for day or night!

2. Sweater Dress + Tall Boots

This is probably the dressiest way to style a shacket. Shackets naturally have a really laid back vibe, so dressing it up can be hard. Wearing a sweater dress under the shacket is the perfect way to to keep the laid back and effortless feel of the shacket while being a little more put together. A sweater dress also looks amazing with a tall boot. The tall boot is elongating for your leg- especially if it has a little heel- and also looks cute with the shacket. A great outfit for a dinner or nicer daytime event!

3. Black Jeans + Turtleneck + Loafers

If you want to look a little more chic and polished, this is the best way to style your shacket. For this look, a shacket in pretty colors, or a fun pattern would look amazing. I love the idea of a black jean and a black turtleneck underneath the fun color/ pattern shacket. This creates one long line of your body (which is insanely flattering) and allows the shacket to really be the hero piece of the outfit. The loafers add a little sophistication and are a great transitional shoe if you don't want to wear boots.

4. Leggings + Graphic Sweatshirt + Combat Boots

I am all about leggings- especially on weekends- so I love trying to style pieces using leggings as a starting point. This is such an easy and casual way to style a shacket! You can just throw a shacket on over your cozy clothes and it helps you look more finished and put together. I especially love the look of a shacket over leggings and a graphic sweatshirt. The key to this is making sure the colors of the graphic sweatshirt and shacket go together! Throw on combat boots and you will look super cool!!

5. Boyfriend Jeans + Tee + Sneakers

Another great way to dress your shacket down and be super casual, without wearing sweats or leggings! Boyfriend jeans are great, especially with a shacket, because they are a little baggy and oversized but still flattering. This is a very laid back look and perfect for casual everyday. A tee (long or short sleeve) also makes this super casual and can be worn from fall through spring. The sneakers also help dress the outfit down and make it comfortable and cute!
