What Is a Shacket?
Think of a shacket as the lovechild of a shirt and a jacket—hence the clever name. Sometimes also called an overshirt, it's a versatile piece of outerwear that's thicker than your average shirt but lighter than a traditional jacket.
This makes it perfect for those in-between seasons or for adding an extra layer without the bulk. No wonder it's become such a popular wardrobe essential for fashionistas everywhere!
Key Differences Between Shackets and Jackets
While both offer warmth and style, shackets and jackets have distinct characteristics. Shackets are usually unlined and made from lighter materials like cotton, linen, or flannel, giving them a relaxed, casual vibe.
On the other hand, jackets are typically more structured, often featuring heavier fabrics like wool or leather, linings for insulation, and additional details like zippers or hoods. Think of a shacket as your go-to for everyday wear, while a jacket is better suited for colder weather or more formal occasions.
Different Shackets for Every Style
Sportgirl's shacket range is all about options. Whether you're into a relaxed fit, love a classic check shacket, prefer the rugged charm of denim shacket, or want to make a statement with a longline shacket, we've got you covered.
From cropped styles for a playful look to cosy denim sherpa and long shackets for chilly days, our shacket collection is designed to complement your unique style and every occasion. Oh, and did we mention our oh-so-soft suedette shackets? You'll be living in these all season long!
Flatter Your Figure with the Right Shacket
Finding the perfect shacket is all about choosing the right silhouette for your body shape. If you're petite, a cropped or waist-length shacket will accentuate your legs, while taller girls might prefer a longer style. With our new in shacket styles ranging from XXS to XXL (sizes 4 to 18), you're sure to find the perfect match to flaunt your figure and feel fabulous.
Express Yourself with Patterns and Hues
Who said a shirt jacket had to be boring? Our shacket collection is a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns, perfect for showcasing your unique style.
Go bold with a checkered pink or classic camel, or keep it low-key with versatile black, pale blue, or neutral tones. Whether you're drawn to timeless checks or prefer to make a statement with vibrant hues, our shackets are an open invitation to express your personality through your outfit.
