It’s time to welcome the shacket into your wardrobe this season. For those not familiar with the term, a shacket is essentially a slightly oversize shirt-jacket hybrid that’s currently blowing up our Insta feeds and dominating at all our favorite stores right now.

So what’s so great about it, you ask? Shackets are the absolute perfect layering piece through fall, winter and spring. Their popular wool blend and leather styles makes them thicker than your average shirt, but thinner than your heavy winter coat so you can easily layer them over a turtleneck and under an overcoat throughout the colder temps. When spring arrives, you can throw it on over a lightweight tee with little effort required.

They look fresh buttoned up as a shirt and effortlessly cool undone as a jacket, and they exude a seriously cool fashion-girl look that is so right now. And the best part? They suit literally everyone. So if you want an easy and cool way to look on-trend as we transition to the cooler weather, consider the shacket your essential, new hero piece. I’m here for the trend with these chic options I’ve found below, and perhaps you will be too.

Not to age myself, but at one point in time, I would burst out singing, “Shawty had them Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur. The whole club was looking at her.” Yes, I realize how embarrassing it is to admit how I, too, fell victim to the grip that the hip-hop single “Low” by rapper Flo Rida had. But if you think back, beyond the song’s catchy tune, its popularity could be attributed to or, at least, tied to one of the biggest fashion trends of the late aughts: shearling. Unless you weren’t alive or blacked out, there was a time where shearling was all the rage. Who could forget when Britney Spears donned her shearling Ugg boots and Juicy Couture tracksuit? Shearling boots, shearling coats, and shearling handbags were big on the radio and IRL. 

As time and fashion cycles would have it, fall’s biggest trends have shown us that furry accessories are on the comeback. Ahead, I’ve rounded up 50 of the best shearling bags to shop at every price point. From faux shearling to bouclé, these handbags are begging to hit the floor.

I was going to start this article with the usual spiel about the number of products I test and research as a beauty director. I know, I know—you’ve heard it all before. But I don’t know if you realize how often these testing escapades occur. It’s 4:33 p.m. on a Tuesday, and before sitting down to write this article, I slathered my face with Chantecaille’s Gold Recovery Mask ($275) in the hopes that I’d be able to write my entire intro before I have to take the mask off in 15 minutes. Mind you, I’ve already tested a brow gel, lip scrub, and face oil today, and the day is still young.

My point is that testing products is an all-day, everyday sort of thing, so I feel like I have more insight than the average person when it comes to what’s exciting, trending, and interesting in the beauty world. This is exactly why I wanted to round up the 30 products I’m most excited about this fall, and while I haven’t tried every single item on this list, I’ve done my research and can confirm they’re all worth the hype. Below, check out my beauty picks, from a honey-infused face oil to a temporary eye-tightener to the ultimate air-dry cream. I promise there’s something to get every single one of you excited for the colder months ahead.
