Happy Monday, friend! Two posts within one week? who am I? Well, the truth is, I am slowly finding joy in writing and sharing more of my outfits here again. For the last few years, I almost abandoned this space to focus more time on building my social media presence. Happy to report that I will be more present here moving forward, and I hope those of you who have been here for a while will stick around.
Today we are talking about plus-size Shackets, where to find them, and how to style them. A Shacket is a cross between a shirt and a jacket. It reminds me a bit of the oversized flannel shirt of the 90s, only this time it’s a bit heavier and more structured. They emerged last year and I thought they would go away after a couple of seasons, but from the look of it, shackets are here to stay.
What do you style a Shacket with?
You can pretty much style shackets with everything from dresses, and faux leather leggings to jeans. They are as versatile as the classic trench coat but more laid-back. I love layering mine over a t-shirt and jeans, especially around this time of the year when the weather is a bit chilly. By the way, my jeans are vintage American Eagles from the men’s section at Value Village.
Can plus size women wear shackets?
Absolutely! I know as plus-size women, we tend to stay away from anything bulky or oversized, but I assure you, you will look gorgeous in a shacket. If you are still a bit worried, opt for something tight or thin underneath, like a tee or turtleneck, as I did with this outfit. Also, opt for a longer length if you can so that the bulk is not all focused on your torso.
The best part about all this is that plus-size shackets are available at almost all the major plus-size retailers now. Below I have linked 16 plus-size shackets that are the absolute perfect layering piece through fall, winter, and spring.
