Shackets Are the New Wardrobe Essential: How to Style Them Year-Round

The Rise of the Shacket in Modern Men’s Fashion

Once a utilitarian garment, the shacket—a shirt-jacket hybrid—is now a modern style essential. As Indian men seek smarter transitional pieces that combine structure with softness, the shacket is making a definitive statement. Neither too formal nor too casual, it’s the kind of piece that doesn’t ask for attention but earns it.

What Makes a Shacket a Wardrobe Power Move?

• Hybrid Functionality: Warm enough for layering, light enough for solo wear.
  

• Smart Aesthetic: Pairs effortlessly with tees, polos, or even a crisp shirt.
  

• Seasonless Utility: Works across Indian climates—from mild winters to cool monsoons.
  
  

The Culture’s Waffle Overshirt is a perfect example—crafted from breathable fabric with a structured silhouette, it transitions from work hours to weekend outings without skipping a beat.

Summer to Monsoon: Light & Layered

How to wear a shacket in warmer months:

• Pair a breathable cotton shacket over a basic crew-neck tee and relaxed chinos.
  

• Keep colors earthy—like Sage or Olive—for a grounded, natural vibe.
  

• Unbutton it fully for an effortless, airy layer.
  
  

Style Tip: Drape it over the shoulders when stepping out for a coffee run. Casual elegance, activated.

 

Autumn/Winter: Smart, Structured, Layered

As the temperatures drop:

• Use shackets as your base layering piece under trench coats or over turtlenecks.
  

• Go for heavier textures like the Waffle Overshirt in Sage to add subtle depth and visual structure.
  

• Complement with tailored trousers or dark denim for that modern classic look.

Bonus: You avoid bulk while staying warm. A win for form and function.

Office or Off-Duty? The Shacket Fits In

Whether you’re dialing into a Zoom call or heading out for dinner, the shacket bridges the gap. Swap your usual blazer or stiff formal jacket with a soft-structured overshirt—it gives authority without rigidity.

The Culture’s shackets work exceptionally well with pieces from the Daywear Collection, allowing you to build looks that feel intentional and relaxed.

How to Choose the Right Shacket

When buying a shacket online in India, look for:

• Roomy, structured fits for layering
  

• Neutral tones that match your wardrobe
  
  

The Culture’s Shacket Collection checks all the boxes, designed for the new-age gentleman who values refinement and simplicity.
