(PHOTO CREDIT: @alexcoll) As the temperature starts to rise and the days get longer, there’s no better way to welcome the change of seasons than by adding a versatile and trendy piece to your wardrobe. Enter the shacket, a cross between a shirt and a jacket. This piece offers the warmth of a jacket and the casual elegance of a shirt, making it a must-have for transitional weather. Its oversized fit provides comfort and allows for easy layering for when the breeze still carries a hint of winter chill.
Designed to be constructed with thicker fabrics such as flannel or fleece, this shacket will not only keep you warm but also exude a cozy and rustic charm. The classic collar, button-down front with large buttons, and cuffed sleeves add a touch of timeless style to the garment. Plus, its utilitarian pockets with flaps provide functionality, making this shacket a fashionable and practical choice for your wardrobe.
