Though it may not feel like it, fall starts this week. The best way to up your wardrobe this season is layering with a good shacket. A shirt jacket (shacket) is a versatile piece of clothing that fills our Instagram feed every year. Wearing a shacket in the fall is a right of passage and is an amazing transition piece from summer to fall. It is versatile and easily paired with a bodysuit, jeans and your favorite accessories.
