With the arrival of fall comes all the coziest wardrobe pieces: oversized sweaters, flannels, denim jackets, chunky cardigans, and most recently, the shacket. If you’re not yet familiar with this glorious addition to our list of fall staples, you’re about to be. A combination of a shirt and jacket (hence the name shacket), this autumnal must-have has likely already shown up on your Instagram feed—even if you didn’t know what, exactly, it was when you saw it. In most cases, a slightly oversized or boxy shirt that passes as a casual jacket when worn over a tee, bralette, or other top can count as a shacket. So those thick flannels or corduroy shirts you love for fall? Go ahead and consider them plus-size shackets.
For those who don’t already have a few shackets in their closet (or those who just want a few more), you’re in luck. So often, oversized and boxy clothing items aren’t offered in extended sizing, which makes it even more exciting (sad, but true) when fun trends like the shacket are shoppable for all bodies. Oversized clothing isn’t just for sizes 0 through 12, folks!
So go ahead and live your comfiest life this fall—with the help of some plus-size shackets, of course. Whether you’re into corduroy vibes, a cozy flannel look, or denim pieces that pair well with all your favorite autumnal bottoms, there’s a shacket just waiting to become a staple in your fall wardrobe. If you’re a visual learner who’s still a little bit confused about what a shacket actually looks like, keep reading to see all our favorite plus-size shackets available to shop now.
