How to rock a shacket 101!

The weather is just about right to welcome the humble 'shacket' into your wardrobe. A mix of a shirt and jacket, the shacket is not as big as a jacket, nor thin enough as a shirt, making it perfect to rock in transitional weather.
How is it different from other layering pieces?
"It can be worn in all kinds of weather," says Snehal Shah, a fashion student.She describes this piece as a functional garment and explains that people these days want to invest in outfits that can be used multiple times. "The pandemic made us realise that we need to make the most of everything and it is finally reflecting in fashion choices too," adds Snehal.
What makes it popular?
The shacket exudes a super-cool fashionista vibe that is in vogue right now. It looks classy as a shirt, and when left unbuttoned, looks like a cool jacket. Designers say that it's the versatility and ability to make one look trendy that makes it so popular.
Celebs’ travel choice
From Gigi Hadid and Rihana, to Tamannaah Bhatia and Khushi Kapoor, celebs are in love with shackets and have been seen sporting them while travelling. "A shacket is perfect for air travel because it's not too thick and is easy to carry," says stylist Bakul Dutta.
How to style a shacket for the uber-cool look:
-Add a beautiful waist belt: Pair your shacket with leather pants and cinch your waist with a waist belt and finish the whole look with black pointy boots and a pair of hoops
-Opt for a cosy and comfortable look: You can pair it up with the same coloured sweatpants and round neck t-shirt. Finish your look with a pair of sneakers and a sporty bag
-For a cold day: Pair it with a turtleneck, and tailored trousers and boots, for an effortlessly cool weekend look that's super trendy
-In no mood to style? Don’t worry: Just throw on a tank top, wear your favourite pair of jeans, finish the look with a checkered shacket and slide into a pair of loafers
