Find Your New Favourite Shacket at Sportsgirl
Somewhere between a shirt and a jacket, the shacket has become a wardrobe favourite. Women’s shackets bring an easy mix of comfort and style.
Across Australia, they’re worn year-round thanks to their versatility. Lightweight enough for layering, relaxed enough for off-duty days. At Sportsgirl, we know a good shacket goes with just about anything.
What Is a Shacket?
A shacket is the best kind of hybrid—part shirt, part jacket, all about easy layering. It brings the relaxed feel of a shirt with the warmth of a jacket when you need that extra layer.
Also known as shirt jackets or overshirts, they’re made with thicker fabrics and button-up details. Perfect for tossing over anything from a tee to a knit.
That’s why shackets are a go-to for in-between weather. One layer that works with almost everything in your wardrobe.
What Is the Difference Between a Jacket and a Shacket?
A jacket is designed for warmth and structure, while a shacket is lighter and made for layering.
Women’s jackets often feature heavier materials such as faux leather, corduroy, or sherpa, designed to block the cold. A puffer jacket offers full insulation for winter days.
A shacket is less about protection, more about flexibility. You can wear it open or buttoned, layered or on its own.
How Should a Shacket Fit?
A shacket should feel roomy enough for layering, but not too loose. The fit sits between a shirt and a jacket—neither tailored nor slouchy. You might choose an oversized shacket for a relaxed look or a longline style for extra coverage. A button-up style offers more structure if you want to wear it closed.
