Shackets

Layering doesn’t have to be a chore. With women’s shackets, it’s one of the easiest ways to add shape, warmth and texture without overthinking the outfit.

At Sussan, we offer outerwear that feels considered and easy to wear, made for everyday styling, spontaneous plans or weekends away. Our edit of women’s shackets features best sellers made with comfort, cut and style in mind.

From structured designs to soft, casual fits, these are the pieces more women across Australia are reaching for as the seasons shift.

What Is a Shacket?

A shacket is a cross between a shirt and a jacket, combining the soft structure of a button-up with the function of outerwear. It usually features a long sleeve design and heavier fabrication than a regular shirt, making it ideal for layering.

Shackets have gained popularity for their throw-on-and-go appeal, bridging the gap between casual and styled. You’ll find them listed as shirt jackets or overshirts, but whatever the name, they offer a simple solution for dressing through changeable weather.

Top Reasons To Add a Women’s Shacket to Your Wardrobe

Built for comfort and ease, shackets fit seamlessly between a hoodie and a blazer. It offers the structure you want with the softness you need, making it a smart pick for everyday wear.

While you might already rely on blazers or cardigans for layering, a shacket offers something in between. Here’s why it’s worth having in your wardrobe:

1. Works well over tees or knits without bulk

2. Adds shape and warmth like a denim jacket

3. Easy to dress up or down with minimal effort

4. Pairs comfortably across all seasons

How To Choose the Right Shacket for Your Body Type

Fit makes all the difference when choosing the right layer. Cropped styles can highlight the waist, while an oversized or relaxed fit brings comfort and room to move.

Our range runs from size 6 to 22, giving you options to suit your shape and style. You can refer to our size guide online or drop by the nearest Sussan store to try them in store and see what feels best.
