When it’s not quite cold enough for a coat, there’s no better solution than a shacket – we’ve found the 11 of the best to get you off to a good start.

Searches on M&S for shackets have spiked by 80% in the last week, so it’s safe to say the style staple is back in full force this autumn. We’re imagining most people have heard of the hybrid shirt jacket, aka the shacket, before, but for those who haven’t, we’ve just given the game away.

Combining the fit of a shirt with a heavier-weight feel of a jacket, the two-in-one piece is perfect for autumn as we toe the line of trans-seasonal dressing, always seemingly one step behind the weather, forever flitting between too hot or too cold. But it’s not just the practicality of the piece that makes it particularly suited to this time of year – Burberry, Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton have all sent the shacket down the autumn/winter 2022 runway, so we’re readily slotting them back into our style staple wish lists.

Monki, Harris Tapper and Joseph soon followed suit, and we’re now spotting the hybrid hero every which way we turn. Whether paired with jeans and a trainer for a laid-back look or jazzed up with a trouser suit, the best thing about a shacket is how you can style it – layering it over simple T-shirts and under a cosier coat for really chilly days.

It’s not all lumberjack checks either. While wool blends are still the most common, giving the shacket its classic cosy feel, quilted jersey fabrics are coming through in a range of colours from oat to orange. And the Isabel Marant pick from last year – many a fashion fan’s favourite – has also made a return. So, keep reading below for our edit of the best to buy now and wear all winter.
