Much as we dislike the modern habit of conjoining two perfectly descriptive words to create another, we’ll join in anyway and say you need to be aware of the “shacket.” The shirt jacket as we know it today has its origins in the French, late-19th- century bleu de travail or work jacket worn by labourers to protect their civilian clothes underneath. It was made from hard-wearing canvas with a boxy cut and was blue in color because indigo dye was cheap in this pre-jeans era. Multi-function is key and the shacket goes with everything from your basic jeans and sweatshirt outfit, to belted over your favourite dress ladies or buttoned up over smart trousers and boots. Any shacket worthy of the name should have pockets and when it comes to styling - It’s all about the layers darling.
