Anyone wearing a shacket?

I mean the long oversized checked shirt/jacket. They seem to be everywhere. I bought one for teenage dc today and wondered if I could wear one. They look warm and practical for everyday and I think I would get my wear out of it. Not sure if it will date quickly which puts me off. Is anyone wearing one?

I don't, but they've been around for a few years now

I do! I'm 41 and have a check one and a plain lilac one (I got tjem off vinted!)

My husband has several. He wears them open over a tshirt. They look nice.

Im 39 and love a shacket! I've just bought two wool effect ones from new look, one black one cream. Also eyeing up a brown checked one from M&S

I had one about three years ago. Wore it once. It went to the clothes bank a few weeks ago. I didn't think they were still in "fashion ".

EmmaEmerald · 12/10/2023 20:14

I have a couple, not checked though

Like the fact they cover my bum if I’m in leggings and like the fact they cover my bloated belly

I have one in sweatshirt material which I found today when looking for autumn clothes in the cupboard for my daughter - I’d forgotten I owned it and how much I love it! So comfy and warm.

They've been about for years now and I do like some of the ones in nice self colours but I hate the checked lumberjack ones. I have a plain grey one which is great for long car journeys, getting out at services etc and you still look reasonable.😊

No. But I saw shumpers in Primark this week and I was tempted.

I've got a shoat! Got it in 2021 and I wore it today with black leather joggers, black vest and white trainers.

They are very popular here in Western Canada. Not necessarily plaid, though. I think because of the practicality of them.

I've noticed fleece is coming back in as well. More the 1/4 zip pullover style in a thicker fleece.

I’m 37 and I have 3!

I have the new look one too (in black) - had so many compliments on it! Absolute bargain

piscofrisco · 12/10/2023 21:03

I've got two plain, one checked. Wear em all the time.

EmmaEmerald · 12/10/2023 21:05

Oh I love the New Look ones!

verdantverdure · 12/10/2023 21:06

I've got a fleece lined blue check shacket but this year I want a wrap around knitted cardigan coatigan thing .

KeepForgetting · 12/10/2023 21:28

I want a shumper and a shoat now!

And it has pockets!

cocksstrideintheevening · 12/10/2023 21:36

No because I had them first time round in the 90s and it just heel wrong!

falalalalal · 12/10/2023 23:45

I prefer a cashmere chardigan myself.

shoeawsome · 13/10/2023 08:00

I have a new coatigan! 🤣

StormzyintheSW · 13/10/2023 08:02

I wear a blush pink checked one from Next to work. I love it.

Pockets, warm, and covers my hips / bum in a smart / casual way..

This sounds so comfy. Have you got a link?

verdantverdure · 18/10/2023 13:19

My fleece lined check shirt was from Mountain Warehouse a few years ago @SBHon bit I just looked and they don't seem to do one this year.

I haven't settled on a chunky belted cardigan/coatigan yet, but they seem to be everywhere.

I'm also wavering a bit because although I love the look but they are probably a pain to dry in the wintertime and I only like to break my "No Buy" for really good choices.
