5 OF THE BEST SHACKETS
By Steven Potter, April 6, 2022
Spring is the in-between time – the season when you're shivering in short sleeves but sweating in a winter coat. To master this v confused time of year, look for a Goldilocks layer that’s not too hot or too cold, but juuuust right 🐻 Enter the shacket: part shirt, part jacket (and way better than a ‘jirt’, right?). This do-it-all layer is light enough for the spring sunshine *and* it can be layered up with a knit or a gilet in the event of a cold snap – ideal. Here's five of the best from our latest spring drops.
THE WORKMAN
Carhartt WIP michigan jacket in washed brown, $228
With its authentic workwear styling, this low-key layer says, ‘I know how to chop down a tree or strip a car engine’. But despite its rough-and-ready roots, this shacket from Carhartt WIP is smart enough for any setting, and it won’t judge your DIY skills, either.
THE QUILTED ONE
River Island long sleeve quilted overshirt in green, $120
On colder spring evenings you’ll be glad of the quilting in this one. Its refined and minimalist styling places it on the smarter end of the shacket spectrum, but you can still match it with sweatpants and fresh white kicks if you’re feeling it’s more of a dressed-down day.

THE GRUNGE ONE
Reclaimed Vintage inspired check shacket in yellow, $59.90
Come as you are in this plaid shacket that’s giving us big 90s Kurt-in-Nirvana vibes. Throw on a band T-shirt underneath with your jeans and you’ve nailed that low-effort grunge look that took no time all to plan 😉

THE VARSITY ONE

Give me an ‘S’! Give me an ‘H’! Give me an ‘A’! OK, we’re not going to do the whole thing, but go team shacket! 😅 This beauty updates a 50s-inspired varsity icon with modern graphics and an oversized fit. It’s spot on for cooler spring days, whether you’re on the football field or running out to grab a coffee.

THE DATE-NIGHT ONE
ASOS DESIGN wool look shacket in burgundy, $80
The final pick on our list is def the smartest. It’s an overshirt, but a fancy one – fancy enough to show you’ve made the effort on date night. Plus, burgundy is the color of wine and romance, just saying 👀
