18 Shackets To See You Through Autumn

Ah, autumn. Sure, we'll miss summer's vitamin D, picnics and Aperol Spritz but there's plenty to look forward to as the nights draw in. Halloween! Bonfire night! Christmas! It's time to get cosy with a capital C.

While turtlenecks, ankle boots and winter coats have been kitting us out for the cold weather since time immemorial, a new item of clothing entered the fashion lexicon just a few years ago. A hybrid of the shirt and the jacket, the perfect piece for layering, ideal for crisp autumnal days and eternally fun to say out loud: the shacket. Traditionally boxy in cut, it goes with practically everything in your wardrobe and whether you plump for military khaki, slick leather or classic denim, the shacket works just as well right now for autumn as it will, a few months down the line, for spring.

There's a plethora of fabrics, colours and silhouettes to choose from so click through to find our favourites this season.
