Now’s a great time to stock up on everything you need for winter with loads of Aussie retailers offering savings. And one trend that has been popping up in a lot of people’s shopping cart is the shacket.

A cross between a shirt and a jacket, it’s a great layer to have in your wardrobe for when it’s too cold for a cardi but not quite chilly enough for your puffer jacket.

Not to mention it’s super easy to style; the shacket looks great with a pair of mom jeans, teamed with a cute mini skirt or over a knit dress. They’re not as formal as a blazer but a bit more structured than a cardigan, and the teddy and flannelette varieties are extra soft and cosy.

Kmart has gotten in on the trend, releasing bargain caramel $35 teddy shacket at their autumn/winter launch last month that’s been doing the rounds on Instagram. It looks a lot like this $900 design on NET-A-PORTER, with a similar boxy fit but a wildly different price tag. The look still costs almost $500 at David Jones as well.

Meanwhile ASOS has seen a 130 percent increase in searches for shackets in the past year, with their Commercial Design and Visual Director, Vanessa Spence, telling Yahoo Lifestyle, “Shackets are the perfect transitional piece to take our customers from Spring/Summer into Autumn/Winter and vice versa, making them super popular with our global audience.”

“The shacket is ideal for layering and can be styled back with a summer dress as easily as it can be thrown on with a pair of 90s style baggy jeans.”

She says shackets with neutral colours and checked prints have been the most popular for them, followed by pastel and tie-dye designs.
