As we emerged from the loungewear craze of 2020 and we re-entered the outside world, a desire for social-worthy garments was on the rise. Without compromising on comfort, we were seeking a way to step out of homes in as many layers as possible and take the comfort of our couch with us wherever we go. Hence, the cosy fashion-forward trend was born. Part shirt, part jacket, this garment creates a structured shape, without forgoing the warmth of a coat. The trendy hybrid allows you to elevate your style effortlessly for any occasion.

Like every new season trend, celebrities including new mum, Gigi Hadid, have been spotted rocking the look.

What is so great about the trend, is how versatile and easy it is to replicate. Here are some of our affordable, Femme favourite ways to style:

If you have ever found yourself staring blankly into your closet with a pile of unflattering clothes all over the floor as you try to piece together the perfect combo of modest and sexy, then the shacket is definitely for you!

Ever wanted to leave the house in your dressing gown on those chilly, weekend mornings? Longline shackets make for the ideal alternative. Go for something a little heavier to give you that snug, warm feeling when out on your morning walk.

Way more than just plaid, the solid shacket allows you to construct an outfit with some real, high-end city vibes. For a look that is bound to have everyone believing you are a fashion queen, style your favourite solid colour shacket over straight jeans, heeled boots and small handbag. If its something a little more neutral you are after, select a softer tone, button all the way up and pair with beige pants and scarf. Alternatively, you can style your shacket unfastened over a cute floral dress with a wide brimmed hat and heavy-look boots for a tran-seasonal sensation.

However you choose to wear it, we want to know. Tag us on socials in your Femme Connection outfits!
