Top 10 Shirt Jackets

Our Top 10 Lists help shoppers quickly and easily find what they need. Using an intense review and approval process (which you can learn more about here), we break down the best styles according to what consumers most commonly search for and want.

The best part of transitional weather is that you can create an endless amount of outfits with just a handful of staple pieces. Your little black dress will look great underneath a houndstooth trench coat and a pair of knee-high boots, and your plain white tee or turtleneck will go well with your trusty blue jeans and a biker jacket. And not so long ago, brilliant minds created a new piece that perfectly demonstrates this layering ability: the shirt jacket. A popular staple over the past few years, the shirt jacket is exactly what it sounds like: a brilliant cross between a shirt and a jacket. Lighter than jackets but heavier than shirts, they're ideal for those weird weather days where layering is essential.

Other than being super cozy, shackets go with just about anything. Throw one over a plain white tee before you step out to your next brunch meeting, or wear a sweater underneath one if you want to stay warmer. Most shackets are made with rugged yet warm materials like fleece, waxed cotton, wool, or cotton flannel. And in most cases, they're lined with warmer materials to insulate and keep the cold from getting inside.

With that in mind, we've rounded up a list of the best shirt jackets on the web right now. Whether you want to splurge or find something on the affordable side, there's an option ahead for every budget and style.
