The humble ‘shacket’ has come a long way in the past year. High street retailers such as H&M, Mango and Zara have all dabbled with cute shirt-jacket hybrid styles in recent months, and they’ve been a hit with the Instagram set.
The latest to hit the mainstream is this unique frayed version by none other than ASOS, and it’s a little different from its predecessors. This version not only comes in an eye-catching blue hue (many others tend to be in neutral tones), it also features bold frayed detailing all around the front and back.
ASOS WHITE wool check fringed Coat, £120, ASOS
The Wool Check Fringed Coat is designed by ASOS’ premium range ASOS White, which makes ‘elevated everyday pieces with a modern twist.’ It features a spread collar, side pockets, and a relaxed fit for a ‘slouchy’ silhouette.
Because it’s by ASOS White, the cover-up does have a slightly higher price tag than you would be used to with the high street retailer, but depending on your budget, might still be in reach. It costs £120, and if you ask us, it’s worth every penny – especially if you managed to track down an elusive ASOS discount code.
With the seasons set to change in coming months, a shacket is a perfect lightweight option to invest in. This one is still made from a wool-blend, meaning it’ll definitely keep you warm despite also being a jacket style.
And we’re not the only ones who are loving this beautiful piece; celebrities and bloggers alike are showing it off all over Instagram. Ex-member of The Saturdays Vanessa White wore hers recently, along with a cross-body bag, some oversized hoops and a black top.
Influencer Tara Maynard was also spotted in the garment, which was worn over a casual white outfit.
The coat is currently in stock online in sizes 4 to 18, but we recommend snapping it up quickly if you have your eye on it – as you can see, it’s proving rather popular!
