Each well-rounded wardrobe a few throw-on-and-go items (read: lazy-girl style staples) that you can turn to time and again when cabinet rebus starting to rear their ugly heads. classic white shirts, leather jackets and essential denim every day can be counted as part of the MVP crew office, but there is one piece in particular, we think that deserves a little more cred style: the tried and true Shacket (shirt + jacket, duh).

This week Style Resolutions show you three ways to re-spark that love affair with this military-inspired number, taking office at rest with effortless ease.

How to Wear a Shacket for Work

Let’s be real — you spend A LOT of time at the office, so why settle for blasé duds that do nothing for your #OOTD game? Business casual and HR-appropriate don’t have to mean slipping into a pinstripe suit (although that would be an incredibly on-trend move to pull ATM); there are so many ways to get your girlboss on and show off some of that killer personality too. Case in point: the getup above. Glitzy drop earrings, an elegant bow-neck blouse and architectural kitten heels are the foundation for a standout ensemble that strikes the ultimate balance of on-the-job ready and street-style chic. Swap out snoozy black trousers for leather pants that define panache, and toss on a laid-back utility jacket in lieu of your favorite blazer. While you’re at it, ditch the traditional working-girl tote for a bucket bag with RN appeal.

And if suede and leather jackets for women are your signature for late-night shenanigans, go beyond your comfort zone and throw on a shacket before heading out the door for that much-needed dose of don’t-mess.
