THESE ARE THE MUST HAVE LAYERS: SHACKETS, JACKETS, AND BLAZERS (OH MY!)
Layering: we have to do it to stay warm, so why not make it fun? Practical can be fashionable especially with so many new types of jackets, shackets, and blazers to pop on when your outfit needs a little something extra. So this fall, don’t lament covering up a cute outfit with a jacket. Make it the highlight of your look!
First, let’s talk about some of the exciting new toppers you’ll have the pleasure of choosing from this season. If you’ve been shopping or, well, anywhere recently, you’ve witnessed the shacket. This shirt + jacket combo can be worn as either of its namesakes, making it versatile for fall, winter, and even spring. Dress down in a flannel or denim shacket; give your look a dressy twist with faux leather or twill. The boxy fit is cozy on cold days and looks great on any body type.
Blazers are no longer just for formal dressing, so don’t purge your closet of all your work clothes just yet. Hold on to your favorite one and layer it one over a graphic tee with jeans. If you’re looking to invest in a new blazer, seek out one with fun details like ties, buttons, and unique fabric to make it feel special.
Moto jackets are timeless and classic with a rocker twist. Buy one in leather, faux leather, or suede and you’ll have it for ages (especially when you discover that it goes with everything from cocktail dresses to joggers).
Hear what real women said about their favorite layer for fall for their body types.
“Blazers used to be something I was forced to wear to work. Not anymore! This is my new dinner-date look. The tie waist on this H&M blazer is super flattering and not boxy like some jackets.” – an Evie
“This Free People blazer is such a great look for day to night. I can wear it unbuttoned as a jacket with jeans on the weekends or buttoned up to look super sleek during the week.” – a Carrie
“This faux-leather shacket is my favorite fall layer. I love how the fabric dresses up my go-to jeans and the fit is flattering and easy to wear. Right now I’m wearing it over camis and bodysuits. This winter, I’m going to pair it with a turtleneck or sweater.” – an Evie
“I’m not a regular mom; I’m a cool mom. Something about a moto jacket just makes me feel like a badass. This suede moto makes me look put together for the school pickup and grocery store run. And I love how the cropped cut shows off my figure.” – a Becca
