There are various type of shackets available that would make you look handsome and chic. They are also super effective in keeping you warm when there’s a cooler-than-usual breeze in the air. 

Classic Plaid Shacket

It is like an overshirt that can also be used over a jacket for layering. All you need to do is simply put it on like a shirt. When you wear a classic plaid shacket as a jacket, wear a round-neck T-shirt. This would give a streetwear aesthetic. The patterns on plaid shackets include squares and stripes, just like in shirts. You can see what pattern suits you the best and style it according to your personality. 

Oversized Shacket

If you’re looking for a shacket that gives a laid-back look, then you should go for oversized shackets. These type of shackets are perfect saviours for those lazy days. If you want to head out for lunch without dressing up much, just throw on a pair of fitted jeans, wear a tank top and layer it with an oversized shacket. Wait! Don’t forget to put on a pair of sunglasses to complete your look. 

Denim Shacket

Denims can go with literally anything. So, experimenting with denim shackets can also be fun. You just have to find a shacket of your size and pair it with wide-leg trousers to give it a casual and hip-hop look, or you can pair it with denim pants only to create symmetry. 

Corduroy Shacket

A shirt-like jacket that is made out of corduroy fabric is called a corduroy shacket. These shackets look amazing on both men and women if they are styled right. If you’re confused about how to style a corduroy shacket, then don’t panic! If you want to create a daytime outfit, you can put on just your corduroy shacket and cargo pants with sneakers. If you want to create a sundowner outfit with the shacket, pick something in black, tuck it inside tailored trousers and wear heeled boots. 

Utility Shacket

A perfect winter clothing item would be a nice utility shacket. You can wear a sweatshirt underneath (preferably solid colour) and layer it with a utility shacket. If you want some plaid shacket outfit ideas, you can try these options. Either create a monochromatic effect by matching your sweatshirt and jogger pants with the colour of the shacket or wear a different coloured sweatshirt and pair it with the same coloured utility shacket and jogger pants. 

Quilted Shacket

Want to look chic and casual at the same time? What’s a better way to achieve that in winter than putting on a quilted shacket? Even though they are designed like shirts, quilted shackets have got a little padding underneath like the quilted jackets, which would keep you warm. You can pair it with fitted jeans or trouser pants for a cool appearance. 

Leather Shacket

There’s nothing that a leather shacket cannot fix. Picture this. You are wearing a turtle neck sweatshirt and denim and you want to glam up the look quickly. The best thing you can do is throw in a leather shacket. The fit won't be as tight as the leather jacket, thus offering more comfort and making you look elegant. 

Lined Shacket

You can wear a lined shacket like a layering underneath a light shirt, which will help you keep the cold away. To create a casual and street-style look, you can wear a beanie. Or you can just put on some chunky trainers to go with the look.

Shackets are perfect clothing that would enhance your outfit, be it a casual urban look or if you’re using it just as a layering. However, the main task is choosing the perfect shacket based on different factors. 

• Pick a shacket that suits your needs. For instance, if your purpose is to keep yourself warm, you can select a shacket with inner linings. Also, if you want your shacket to have spaces to keep small things, you can choose a shacket with hidden pockets. 
• You can also select a shacket according to the fit. If you’re considering comfort and a laid-back look, you can go for an oversized shacket. For a toned and structured look, you can pick regular fitted shackets. 
• If you’re just starting to experiment with shackets, go for colours that can be paired with any piece of clothing. For instance, you can get neutral-coloured shackets like beige and black that go with everything.

Shackets can be a statement wear if you select the right proportion. Be it wearing a shacket like an overshirt or using it like a layering, you need to know what suits your style and what look you want to create and choose a shacket. You can pick a shacket from any of the above-mentioned types and create your unique style to slay this season.
