Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "One Item Three Ways" and was picked by Joanne.
This month the ladies of Ageless Style and I were challenged to pick one item from our closets and style it three different ways. I'm not the most creative stylist out there 😁 so I decided to pick a denim shacket that I purchased a while back but never featured on the blog before. Now if you don't know what a shacket is, it is a portmanteau or a blended word of "shirt" and "jacket". Now, the style gods have been telling us for a while that shackets are on the way out, especially the over-sized plaid ones, but the denim shackets remain a popular option for spring of 2026. And that is a good thing, as I LOVE my denim shacket!
Here are three ways I styled my denim shacket: with shorts, worn as an actual jacket, and simply worn as a top.
Denim Shacket Three Ways
1. Wear It With Shorts
Shackets are perfect for spring because they are a lighter weight than a jacket and heavier than a shirt so they make the perfect cover up for cooler weather. Here I am wearing it with shorts and a t-shirt when the morning was cool but the temperatures would rise to shorts weather by afternoon. This way I could stay warm in the morning, but easily take the shacket off when the temps rose.
2. Wear It As A Coat
Because shackets are much thicker than a shirt, they can be used as a coat. On this day in Lake Geneva the morning was FREEZING but I knew it would be 70 by end of day so I dressed in layers: tank top, floral blouse, shacket.
3. Wear It As A Shirt
For my final look, I simply wore the shacket as a shirt (with a tank top underneath). The new shacket styles are slimmer, and more structured, so it's a lot simpler to wear as a shirt than the older over-sized shacket styles.
The best part of denim shacket is that they go with everything. You can wear them with any color, as I've shown here and they can be dressed up or down. Denim shackets work great with dresses, skirts, shorts, and pants. Your options are endless!
I purchased my shacket from Carly Jean Los Angeles a long time ago so it's no longer available but you can find them just about anywhere, I really like this one on Amazon.
And now be sure to check out what item the other ladies will be styling three different ways, and link up with us as well!
Have A Great Day! Amy
