This Breathable Shacket Is My Transitional Season Savior - I Wear It With Everything

It's that time of year when the mornings and evenings are chilly, but the afternoons still feel like summer - especially for those of us who are in the Northeast. Although I love watching the leaves turn and getting into the fall spirit, I truly don't know what to wear when any given day could feel like all four seasons in the course of 15 hours. That's why I rely on layering. Cardigans, dusters, jean jackets, and leather jackets give me endless styling options and also help me seamlessly transition between summer and fall. However, sporting a shacket often feels most appropriate for autumn.

A shacket, or a shirt jacket, combines the structure of a traditional flannel or button-down shirt with the heavier feel of a jacket. It keeps you warm and can be worn by itself or layered with other pieces, making it a versatile wardrobe essential. Being the shacket lover that I am, I tried out Vuori's bestselling Mackenzie Shirt Jacket ($110, originally $138) to see if it's worth the hype.

Keep reading to see how I styled it and learn about the piece through my in-depth review.

What I Like About the Vuori Mackenzie Shirt Jacket:


Although it has a flannel-inspired look, Vuori's Mackenzie Shirt Jacket feels silky-soft rather than rigid or scratchy - as if it's been through the wash a few times. It delivers the same comfort as an old college sweatshirt, but it doesn't look worn out. This shirt jacket also feels breathable, yet it still keeps me warm in 60-degree weather.

With its relaxed fit, the Mackenzie Shirt Jacket bodes well with a variety of outfits. It's slightly oversize on me, but it's not too big where the sleeves cover my hands. For a casual, yet put-together look, I layered the shirt jacket on top of a neutral bodysuit and teamed it with straight jeans and sneakers. I rolled up one sleeve for a more effortless look. I also wore the Mackenzie Shirt Jacket as loungewear, buttoned up and coordinated with Vuori's bestselling Performance Joggers ($94). I can also style it over summer dresses or tie it around my waist or shoulders for convenience when it's too hot.

I love that it's versatile enough for a wide range of activities, whether I'm going to the gym, hanging out with friends, running errands, or just relaxing at home.

What's Worth Noting About the Vuori Mackenzie Shirt Jacket:

I'm 5'1", and although I got the XS/S size, the shirt jacket is pretty long on me. If you want a shirt jacket that is not as lengthy, especially if you are petite, I suggest going for a cropped style like this Sycamore Short Shirt Jacket ($158). I also found it tricky to tuck in because the fabric is thicker.

Who's the Vuori Mackenzie Shirt Jacket Best For?

If you're looking for a perfect transitional piece you can throw on with casual outfits, I highly recommend the Mackenzie Shirt Jacket. Although it's costly, it's a wardrobe staple made with high-quality natural fibers that goes with nearly everything, can be used all year round, and actually keeps you warm.

Additional Details:

  • It's made from 100 percent heavyweight cotton.
  • It's best to machine wash on cold with like colors and tumble dry on low.
  • It's available in two colors: Black and Salt (off-white).
  • It comes in two sizes: XS/S and M/L.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
