Layer with Confidence in Sussan Denim Jackets and Shackets
Style starts to click when the layers feel right. When you’ve already got a parka, bomber jacket, or even a sherpa-lined leather jacket on rotation, adding a classic denim jacket brings balance without the bulk.
As a leading women’s fashion brand, our denim jackets and shackets are made for layering, shifting easily between seasons and settings. This is outerwear that feels effortless and modern, styled for everyday wear across Australia.
If you’re after a trucker jacket look or a lighter take on a wardrobe staple, we’ve got you covered.
Spotting the Difference Between Denim Jackets and Shackets
There’s a clear difference in how each piece wears. A denim jacket is structured, firm through the seams, and built to hold its shape, perfect when you want a polished outer layer.
A denim shacket, on the other hand, leans softer. It’s often unlined, with the relaxed feel of a denim shirt, but enough weight to layer over other pieces. Both serve a purpose. It just depends on how much structure you're after.
How to Choose the Right Jacket or Shacket Fit
Once you know the difference in structure, the next step is finding a fit that works for you. The right jacket or shacket should feel easy to move in, layer over your favourites, and suit your personal shape and style.
Here are a few things to consider when choosing your fit:
- Layering room: An oversized denim jacket leaves space for knits or sweats underneath.
- Proportions: If you’re XXS or XXL, look for cuts that balance your frame without drowning it.
- Shape vs structure: Softer fits create flow, while structured styles define the shoulders and waist.
If you're unsure, our size guide is a helpful place to start, or you can try a few silhouettes in-store.

Quick Ways to Break in a New Denim Jacket
New denim can feel stiff at first, but with a few easy tricks, it softens up quickly. Breaking in your jacket naturally helps it mould to your shape and sit better over time. The goal is comfort without losing that clean, structured look.
Here’s how to wear it in with ease:
- Wear it often to let your body heat and movement soften the fabric gradually.
- Wash it sparingly with cold water and gentle detergent to avoid shrinkage.
- Layer it over softer knitwear or tees to help shape the sleeves and seams faster.
Building an Outfit Around Your Jacket or Shacket
Pulling a look together starts with one great layer. Our expert stylists have put together go-to outfit ideas that balance style, comfort, and layering, perfect for the way Australian weather shifts throughout the day.
Try these expert styling tips to make jackets and shackets work across your wardrobe:
- Pair a cropped denim jacket with a sleeveless dress and leggings for a light, balanced outfit.
- Throw a shacket over t-shirts and jumpsuits for a relaxed look that still feels styled.
- For cooler mornings, layer hoodies or sweatshirts under your jacket, then swap to jumpers or cardigans as the day warms up.
- Don’t be afraid to mix textures. Layering denim over knits adds interest without fuss.
