SHIRT + JACKET = SHACKET

Think of the shacket as an upgrade on the humble shirt silhouette for those tricky transitional seasons — we’re talking thick, woven fabrics in interesting colorways.

Or think of it as a dialed-down take on the bomber jacket in lighter-weight cotton, finished with shirt cuffs. However you classify it, the shacket is your go-to.

 

Reclaimed Vintage Inspired check overshirt, $87

Nail the heritage check trend by going for this shacket from Bershka. As it’s got a central zip, wear undone with a white T-shirt underneath for a more relaxed look.

Go tonal and team your overshirt with a pair of dark-gray smart pants to give your getup a sophisticated edge. Pop on a pair of monochrome Converse sneakers to tie your subdued ensemble together.

 

Bershka check overshirt, $45

Rejecting dark hues and experimenting with bright colors has been the sartorial zeitgeist for FW18, so show that you’re familiar with the trend by donning this mustard-yellow shacket.

Wear an off-white polo underneath it to not draw attention away from your outer layer. As your top half is relatively vibrant, keep it chilled down low and opt for a pair of mid-washed slim-fit jeans. Finish your look with off-white kicks to give your getup some Scandi-style uniformity.
