How to Style a Shacket

When it comes to versatile wardrobe pieces, a shacket reigns supreme. Whether you’re navigating transitional season style or aiming for an effortlessly cool vibe, make a shacket your secret weapon.

What Is a Shacket?

A shacket is a mix between a shirt and a jacket. This hybrid piece takes the shape and style of a classic shirt with the weight of a light jacket, making it a versatile outerwear item that works for every season.

Shackets are a good opportunity to add new textures and patterns to your outfits. Some shackets have a textured finish, while others stay true to their plaid shirt roots with chunky check patterns. With so many options available, finding a shacket to suit your style is a breeze.

What Size Shacket Should I Get?

Both men’s and women’s shackets typically have an oversized, boxy silhouette to leave enough room for layering underneath. If you want your shacket to fit closer to your body or you aren’t planning to layer more items underneath it, size down.

How to Wear a Shacket

Wondering how to style your shacket? Whether you’re layering up for a chilly winter day or looking for a light layer for warmer weather, here are some of our favourite ways to style a shacket, whatever the season.

BAGGY TROUSERS

Complement the XL silhouette of your shacket with some baggy jeans. Our Baggy Dad Jeans are the perfect option for balancing the loose fit of your jacket with equally roomy bottoms.

OVER DENIM SKIRTS

Play with proportions by pairing an oversized jacket with a denim mini skirt. Try an Icon Skirt to nail mini style, or go the extra inch with our XS Skirt. Bonus points if your shacket and skirt are the same length!

OVERSIZED T-SHIRT

Match the oversized look of your shacket with an oversized tee. Pair with straight jeans for a well-balanced look. Try a Levi’s® Skateboarding Graphic Boxy Tee for the ultimate oversized tee that complements a shacket.

OVER CROP TOPS

Give your outfit a streamlined look by pairing a crop top with your shacket. This is also a playful transitional season outfit. Our Graphic Essential Sporty Tee is the perfect crop top to wear under a shacket.

OVER HOODIES

Lean into street style by wearing a hoodie under your shacket. Hoodies are an ideal middle layer, and wearing a shacket over the top elevates any off-duty look. Make a statement with a Levi’s® Skateboarding Hooded Sweatshirt, or keep things lowkey with a plain hoodie.

How to Wash a Shacket

Since shackets are an outerwear item, they can pick up unwanted dirt and stains. If your shacket is looking a little worse for wear, spot-clean stains with a damp cloth. If that doesn’t work, put it in the washing machine inside out, and always check the care label.
