Functional fashion on deck: introducing the shacket.
This post contains affiliate links.
Last week it was sweater vests, this week it’s the shacket. What’s a shacket, you say? It’s used to describe a shirt-style, lightweight jacket, typically in a plaid print. Shirt + jacket = shacket. That’s some style math for you.
I took this trend for a spin in the new issue of Kansas City Homes & Style. This cute camel and cream plaid shacket provided a great starting point. I love the boxy cut, which looked quite cool worn over a fitted gray bodysuit.
High-waisted skinny jeans lengthen the leg line and a pair of suede mules bookend the warm tones of the shacket. (A little stacked heel helps add some length to the look, too.) I used accessories to punch things up: a cool leather belt bag and an Italian snake chain necklace.
Shop the look:
A belt bag like this is perfect if you don’t have much to carry. Gold chains like the one I’m wearing here made a major comeback last year, and you’ll be seeing them everywhere in 2021! They add a retro glam element to any look.
What I love about the shacket? It’s lightweight enough to be worn indoors, but has enough heft for milder winter days. Look for something in wool to get extra cozy. The shacket dresses up a simple base layer for those Zoom meetings without being too fussy and will transition nicely once winter fades into spring.

Love your schacket! Great idea to choose something with some wool in it to get that warm feeling. Definitely wanna get a schacket now!! Xx
Yes! A little wool goes a long way to add warmth in the winter!
Love your shacket and belt bag! You look so cozy chic!

Thanks, Jill! The belt bag really topped off the look!
I really like this one because it’s not long like the others I’ve seen!
Yes! A shorter version is so nice because it doesn’t reveal how short I am, haha!
I love this trend.
This one is so pretty and it look so good with your mules.

Thank you, Jennifer!
I like this cropped version. I have seen different ones but am trying not to get much more in the way of layers! Give us a month or 2 here and it will start getting warm.

The cropped version is so nice because it doesn’t cut off your body length or require heels!
This jacket is so cute. And I love it elevates the look.

I love the warm colors of your shacket and the shorter length, looks great with the high rise jeans! I love that the jacket is not oversized too as I have seen more of that style
