It's that time of year again: shacket season. A time we know and love all too well. While it is true that we see shackets — that is, the fashion love child between a shirt and a jacket — every year around this time, there are always new ways to wear them. Trends and styles change, but the cozy ease of a shacket never does. Throw one on with a dress, an athletic set, a pair of trousers, and so much more to achieve the perfect transitional outfit; then, layer a heavier coat on top once the weather turns even colder.

Ahead, we're sharing 14 ways that you can style your beloved shackets for fall and beyond.

A Pop of Leather

Leather is a go-to for fall, whether you go for a leather jacket to leather pants. A leather shacket will keep you warm in brisk weather, while still adding a layer of sleekness other materials don't offer.

With Baggy Pants

Roomy pants work in every season, but paired with a shacket, they make the perfect fall outfit. Navy blue wide-leg trousers are a great base, and with a tan leather shacket, they create contrast while still veering on the neutral side.

The Oversized Look

For a low-key vibe, wear with a pair of matching wide-leg jeans and a classic white tank with an oversized shacket. Heels make an unexpected yet elevated shoe choice.

Over a Cozy Sweater

Double the coziness, double the fall fun. If you're not quite ready for puffer jacket season, layer a wool shacket over a sweater for added warmth without the bulk.

Monochrome with a Fun Shoe

This monochromatic outfit ties so many current trends — from the denim skirt to the oversized shacket — into one look, without looking over the top. The shacket keeps it casual, while the gold boots add a textural twist to the darker hues.

Over a Crop Top

Crop tops don't need to be tucked away once temps drop; simply layer on a shacket to keep warm, and pair with longer bottoms (like a midi skirt) for more coverage.

All of the Plaid

When thinking of fall, our brains immediately go to plaid. It's the most classic shacket style of them all, so it's always a safe option for fall dressing. This matching green and blue plaid is giving the "back to school" vibe, while the frayed detailing makes it feel current.

Layer It On

A shacket is the perfect layering piece. This cropped plaid style helps break up an otherwise all-blue 'fit, and provides a necessary extra layer to beat the chill.

Add a Vibrant Color

There is nothing more chic than an all-black outfit, but sometimes we need some cheerful, bold colors in the mix. Instantly add brightness to any neutral outfit by throwing on a colorful shacket, like this style star did.

As a Matching Set

A matching set equals an outfit no-brainer. They make you look put together, without taking hour to pick out. Bonus color combination inspo: The bright purple set with the yellow-green top is so dreamy and unexpected for fall.

Mix and Match Textures

Snake and crocodile prints are right on trend with fall's biggest trends. A shacket in a softer shade, like butter yellow, can temper a more daring pattern while still allowing the print to speak for itself.

Bedazzled Is Better

It's time to bling out your Canadian tuxedo. Adding sparkles is a great way to stand out and draw attention to your amazing outfit. Not into added embellishment? A denim shacket is always functional and stylish, whether it's bedazzled or not.

Style with Sweatpants

The rise of the sweatpants means you can wear them just about anywhere — provided they're styled correctly. This light purple sweat set is sure to keep your mood up in the cooler months; layer a long shacket on top for colder days or to dress up your look.

With Black Leggings

Comfortable, stylish, and timeless, leggings can be paired with almost anything — including, yes, a shacket. We love them with a neutral style for running errands, but this is a moment where a pop of color would work great too.
