How to Wear a Flannel Shirt or a Shacket This Fall

Nov 14, 2024

Cozy and warm are definitely in this fall. And what better way to take on the chill than with a well-worn flannel shirt or an oversized shacket? Both of these closet staples offer the perfect balance of comfort and style. Here’s your fall essentials guide for how to rock a shacket or flannel shirt this season and beyond.

What’s a Shacket, Anyway?

Is it a shirt? Is it a jacket? Well, it’s kind of both. This hybrid piece combines the structure of a shirt with the warmth of a jacket. And it’s also perfect for those in-between seasons where you may need a jacket in the morning and something lighter in the afternoon.

How to Style a Shacket

These oversized staples can be worn open or buttoned up — much like a long-sleeved shirt or a jacket. Here are a few ways to style this fall piece: 

  • Add a cropped monochromatic shacket over a halter-style tank top. Pair with a flowy midi skirt and chunky heels or a pair of mules. 
  • Embrace the oversized look of a wool shacket with a graphic tee and denim pants. Finish the fit with your favorite Air Jordan 1s or Dunks. 
  • Style a denim shacket with a tailored dress for a more sophisticated but relaxed look. Add jewelry and a low boot. 
  • Go with a hooded flannel shacket atop a graphic tee and a pair of denim or cargo pants. Embrace that late 90s/Y2K style by adding a pair of Air Max 97s. 
  • For particularly cold days, create a shacket outfit by adding a neutral-toned crewneck sweatshirt layered below an open flannel shacket and pair of tailored pants. Finish the look with a pair of UGG Neumel boots. 

For office-casual, layer a half-buttoned shacket with a button-up collared shirt and dress pants. Add a pair of adidas Handball Spezials to continue that laid-back vibe.

All About Flannels

Plaid flannel shirts remain popular in 2024, with new patterns and color combos whether you’re going for a Y2K look, want to elevate your workwear or trying to add more streetwear style into your closet. Wear these lightweight layers solo buttoned-up, or wear them open and oversized with a cropped tank, bralette or graphic tee underneath.

How to Style a Flannel

Tuck your flannel shirts in for a more polished look, or keep them untucked and casual — the choice is yours. 

Borrow your boyfriend’s oversized flannel shirt and pair with leggings or joggers, a tank and a pair of Gazelle Bolds.
