When it comes to looking for that little ‘extra’ Valentine’s gift, it’s time to go a little forward-thinking and buy something that you know is great for guys. The shacket, or ‘shirt jacket’ to you, and for those of you that aren’t sure what it is, it’s a cross between a shirt and jacket, sometimes called an overshirt. The shacket is a great way to layer up, a versatile piece that works well with jeans and a sweater as equally well with a more elevated look.
How to wear it well: Made from usually thicker material and a slightly looser fit, way nicer than a regular shirt, like a jacket that comes with two chest pockets and bigger buttons, and the practicality of these newbies is that you can wear them with anything, under a coat this winter, over a tee in the spring, and whenever you like really in any season and it’s that versatility that makes the shacket a real firm favourite, particularly when trying to master the always-tricky transitional weather.
So a shacket would make the most perfect Valentine’s gift. What guy wouldn’t want something to wear that’s good looking, practical and this one we have right here is the inspiration to finally add a shacket style to his wardrobe.
