At its root, fashion is about adapting and feeling comfortable in what you wear. It’s not always about wearing something that is trending, but wearing what suits your personality and is also weather appropriate. Whether it’s a smart shirt on warmer days or a rugged shacket on colder days, your wardrobe should have it all.

Shackets, in fact, are just a perfect kind of companion for when things start getting little chilly. Here’s why you need to stock them for the upcoming season. Check Estilocus stylish collection of shackets if you want to up your style game for the festive season hitting soon.   

When the Season Changes, So Should Your Style

Summer means lighter fabrics, and linen or cotton shirts that let your skin breathe. However, with winters approaching, we reach out to jackets. But, when weather isn’t too cold, many of us don’t like wearing heavy and warmer jackets. And, that’s the kind of weather we experience in India for most of the times. That’s when shackets (shirt + jacket) take the spotlight. They serve as a middle ground between bulky jackets and shirts.

Slightly thicker than your shirt, shackets are made with twill, denim, or corduroy and for good reason. They are designed for the in between weather, when it’s too warm for a woollen coat and too breezy for a shirt. To add to it, they look fashionable and stylish than just wearing a normal shirt. Moreover, you can wear them for any occasion – be it a casual evening, a date night (check our denim shackets and stylish brushed cotton shackets) or an adventure trip (try our cargo shirt shackets).

For that effortless rugged look, choose something in earthy tones like mountain grey, or dessert brown shacket.

Shirts – Your Timeless Companion 

Shirts are just timeless. They have earned their place as wardrobe staples for every man, no matter the season. From relaxed linen shirts for summer brunches to structured cotton ones for everyday wear, shirts adapt beautifully to both casual and formal settings.

Even in colder weather, shirts don’t disappear. Instead, they become the perfect base layer that can be worn under a sweater, jacket, or even a shacket. Their versatility makes them indispensable all year round.

Style Tips for Shirts & Shackets

How to Style a Shacket:

• Pair your shacket with jeans or chinos.
• Keep it unbuttoned over a crew-neck tee for relaxed vibes.
• On colder days, layer it over a shirt for extra warmth.
• Choose neutral tones like khaki, black, or olive for maximum versatility.

How to Style a Shirt:

• Roll up the sleeves of a denim or cotton shirt for a casual & confident look.
• Layer it under a blazer or shacket for a refined yet modern vibe.
• For summer, opt for pastel or light-colored shirts and in winters, you can try something bolder, may be even satin solid shirts.

Conclusion

Your wardrobe doesn’t need to choose between shirts and shackets. You just need to know when to use each. Shirts are year-round essentials, while shackets, on the other hand, are your stylish bet when the temperatures drop a bit or you need some fashionable twist to a regular boring outfit. Together, they ensure you stay stylish, comfortable, no matter what the season brings.
