This season's essential layering garment, according to Emily Blunt, is the shacket.
In the world of fashion, a new hero has emerged, making transitional dressing effortless and stylish - the shacket. This versatile piece, a blend between a shirt and a jacket, is perfect for those in-between days when it's not quite warm enough for just one layer but too early for heavy coats.
Denim or cotton shackets offer a laid-back look, while soft checks tap into one of the season's biggest prints. A denim shacket, like the one worn by Emily Blunt at the Venice Film Festival, can be a statement piece, adding a casual, polished touch to any outfit. For instance, it can be layered over a burgundy maxi dress, as seen on the actress, or paired with high-waisted jeans and white sneakers for a more relaxed feel.
The shacket's versatility extends beyond casual wear. For work or smarter occasions, it can be elevated by belting it at the waist and pairing it with tailored pants or skirts for a more structured silhouette. A boxy cropped shacket, in particular, can effectively balance proportions, especially for those with curves.
Neutral shades like camel, navy, or gray are easily incorporated into work ensembles, but also look great with a pop of colour. These shackets offer a timeless appeal, making them a long-lasting investment piece. The shacket from Next, for example, has a premium feel with defined seams, sturdy hems, structured cuffs, and pockets, ensuring durability and style.
The shacket can also be layered over knitwear and under coats, or worn with chunky sweaters as the temperature drops. T-shirt dresses with draped sections, subtle shoulder pad detail, and split hems can accentuate the waist and balance proportions, making them an ideal base layer for a shacket.
For those seeking comfort and style, look no further than Toms sneakers. Equipped with an ultra-comfy OrthoLite® insole, a supportive rubber outersole, and an elevated upper for ankle support, these shoes are some of the most comfortable on the market.
