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

October 24, 2024 ,

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.
