It’s true. Sporting a shacket (you know, the lovechild of the sherpa jacket and flannel) is a testament to the fall season — just as much as drinking the Starbucks fall menu that’s coming soon.

You’ve probably seen a closet’s worth of shackets clogging up your Instagram feed — and, for a good reason. It’s one of the easiest ways to elevate your look for transitional seasons, and one of the cheapest, especially if you take the Amazon route.

With a good pair of booties, a solid bodysuit and classic gold accessories, you’ll be looking like a rockstar en route to pumpkin picking this fall, too.

Oh, and this isn’t our first outerwear rodeo. We’re all about this year’s hottest trench coats, rain jackets and *oh-so-cool* winter coats you’ll want to snatch up before the crowd swarms to them.

Below, find our edit of the 23 best women’s shackets to sport this season, along with versatile options to carry you all the way to spring. After all, it’s not time for the tried-and-true down coat or trench coat just yet.

Best flannel women’s shackets

1. BlankNYC Flannel Shacket, $158

  • Color options: Cabin Fever, Hit the Trail, Green Room
  • Size options: XS-L

Blair Waldorf inspired this shacket, no doubt about it. With a dainty blush, grey and ivory plaid, it’s one to live in this season for a girly touch to any outfit. Not to mention, BlankNYC is one of our favorite brands for outerwear.

2. L.L. Bean Women’s 1912 Overshirt, $65-$89

  • Color option: Dark Indigo, Muted Rose, Sailcloth, Sterling Blue
  • Size options: XS-L

Whether you’re petite, plus size or somewhere in between, this is one of the best women’s shackets around. Its super soft twill is beyond warm, so you don’t need to bring another jacket “just in case” and there are eight different colors to choose from.

Review: “I absolutely love it. The colors are fabulous. It’s heavy-duty, true to size and structured. The sleeves and torso are the right length for me (petite, size large). The lining is a classy touch. I even like the buttons. Worth the splurge.”

3. Madewell Belrose Shirt-Jacket, $215

  • Color options: Devon Plaid Forage
  • Size options: XXS-XL

Tired of searching for that perfect vintage flannel jacket? Well, skip the antique store and grab this instead. It’s made of Italian boucle, so you know you’ll have it for decades, and its slouchy shoulders and deep pockets will keep you cuddly and warm.

Review: “This is a great winter jacket. I have been loving the shirt style jackets this season and this played the part wonderfully for me! I am petite, but I opted for the regular XXS, and while it fits oversized (as it’s meant to fit), it isn’t too oversized. I don’t feel it’s too boxy. The length is perfect on me, as is the sleeve lengths. The colors are beautiful and neutral.”

4. UANEO Plaid Wool-Blend Shacket, $30

  • Color options: Khaki, Green, Blue, Burgundy, Pink, Purple
  • Size options: XS-XXL

As Amazon’s best-selling shacket, this style is one to steal. For less than $40, you can’t go wrong. Wear as a coverup when dashing out the house or make it the shining star of your ensemble by pairing it with black leggings and boots. It runs large, making it perfect for layering. And if you want to make things a little spice, tie it in the front to show off whatever you have on underneath.

Review: “I bought two of these. Love, love, love! Perfect for layering on a cool day without having to wear a jacket. I get lots of compliments. I definitely recommend.”

5. Madewell Plus Long Shirt-Jacket in Windowpane, $215

  • Color options: Spiced Raisin
  • Size options: 2X-3X

If you’ve been hunting for a plus size women’s shacket, search no further. Made of brushed and recycled wool, you’ll stay warm from the walk from your house to class or work and back again. Forget your gloves? No worries, thanks to the hand-warming side welt pockets. Is it a bit of an investment? Yes, but check our what this happy customer from Madewell had to say. They didn’t seem to mind.

Review: “This shacket is so cozy, so stylish and so flattering! It’s a little pricy, but hear me out — it’s fully lined and super warm. I’ll probably wear it all winter.”

6. UANEO Brown Plaid Wool-Blend Shacket, $30
