As I get hmmm,,, older, I am personally drawn more and more to classic fashion styles. However, I can’t blog about fashion and not pay attention to some of the latest trends. And one of the hottest trends this fall is the shirt jacket or shacket.
Honestly, I think this trend was modeled after a classic style that many of us have worn for years – a heavier button down shirt used as a layering piece or jacket in the fall. Of course, they had to come up with a trendy name for it though, and “the shacket” was born!
Today’s Look
I found my shacket last July during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and was surprised by how much I love this jacket! It’s soft and fully lined making it so nice and warm. Plus, I don’t love having to wear a heavy jacket or coat this time of year. Yet, this one is not very cumbersome, and I sized up to accommodate for bulky sweaters underneath.
Of course, shortages are causing things to sell out quickly right now, and this item can no longer be found at Nordstrom. So, I was sooo excited when I did discover this same shacket at Nordstrom Rack in two different plaid patterns and a solid grey. It is fully stocked, and this good quality jacket is such a steal at just under $25!

Another thing that surprised me about this shacket is that I don’t usually wear plaid. Plaid is always a popular choice in the fall though, and this year, it seems to be really big. If you’re not into plaid, you can find shackets in solid colors too.
Also, I’m seeing longer shackets like this cute one with a hood if your fall weather is a little colder. These longer shackets would also be great in the winter too if you live in a milder climate.
