What is a shacket?
A modern day must-have, a shacket looks like a classic
shirt, but is slightly heavier and larger like a jacket. They’re also super
versatile, so you can wear them with just about anything, from your favourite
jeans to fitted trousers, and with shorts in summer and under coats in winter.
In other words, a good shacket is an all-rounder. Easy to
dress up or down, both during the day and the night, they’re worth having in a selection
of styles and shades to maximise their pairing potential. And, when it comes to
choice, quality, and value, you can’t beat Matalan’s range.
Are shackets meant to be oversized?
Similar to a jacket, shackets are larger than standard
shirts. However, not every shacket comes in an oversized fit. In fact, while
you can get shackets in this more relaxed style, there are also fitted shackets
on offer which are perfect for those dressier days.
The oversized shacket is one that works well with jeans and
tees to create laidback, off-duty looks. Khakis, navies, and check designs are just
some of the shades you could opt for to make the most of this style, while more
classic colours like black, grey, and stone will create a more polished
finished.
What can you wear with a shacket?
The beauty of a shacket is that it’s easy to pair with your
everyday staples. Got a favourite pair of jeans, shorts, or trousers? Make them
that bit more trendy by teaming them with a shacket. Shackets are also great
for layering with shirts, sweatshirts and coats on colder days.
Perfect for everyday dressing, whatever it is you’re doing, the
way you style a shacket can make it appropriate for almost any occasion. While
it’s always wise to opt for a suit for formal events, your workwear,
weekend wardrobe, and outfits in between could all benefit from the addition of
a stylish shacket.
When can you wear a shacket?
Shackets can be worn all year round, but they’re at their
best as a light layer on spring or autumn days. Often crafted from wool or a comfortable
cotton blend, the heavier-weight material of a shacket can warm up jeans and
T-shirt combos and add cosiness when buttoned over hoodies.
