The Perfect Layering Piece For Fall

You know what those colorful leaves and cooler breezes mean – time to layer up! It helps you deal with the temperatures and make stylish fashion statements. A quintessential layering piece for the season is the versatile shacket, a hybrid between a shirt and a jacket. Let’s see how it fits into your autumn wardrobe.

The Science of Layering

First, the focus is on how different materials and weaves interact to trap body heat and block cold air. Then use this information to combine varying textures and weights to create an insulating effect while ensuring breathability. 

Base Layers 

They sit closest to your skin,  helping to keep you dry and warm. Materials like merino wool or synthetic fibers, which are known for their moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, are ideal for base layers. Fit is also important; base layers should be snug enough to facilitate moisture transfer without restricting movement. For example, a fitted organic cotton tee can serve as a perfect base layer under a shacket for mild fall days, ensuring comfort without bulk.

Mid-Layers

They are the primary expression of personal style during the cooler months. Textures such as tweed add depth and a tactile dimension to outfits, enhancing the layering effect while providing necessary warmth. You can actually stop here, if you’re using a piece like the Our Umber Black Tweed Shacket, which pairs well with smoother textures underneath, such as an organic cotton tee.

Shackets are versatile mid-layers since are thick enough to serve as outerwear on mild days yet light enough to be worn under a heavier coat when the mercury dips, as is also the case with the Beige Houndstooth Shacket that you can use to transition from a casual office environment to weekend activities. Its classic pattern and neutral color scheme make it a flexible component in any layering ensemble, easily paired with both casual tees and formal shirts. 

Outer Layers

They seal the look – like if you go with a classic tailored coat or a dynamic puffer jacket worn over from casual tees to sophisticated knitwear. Shackets can also be used for the outer layer, like with the Coal Faded Check Shacket that has large buttons and adjustable fit that make it easy to layer over thicker garments. Its stylish check pattern ensures it stands out in your autumn wardrobe, and with its 100% organic cotton material, it’s an environmentally friendly choice. For instance, you can have a vest as the base layer, t-shirt as the mid-layer, then top it off with a shacket.

You can go extra with a scarf to add to the look, or a well-chosen hat can balance out the layers by adding height and structure to the silhouette.
