The insulated button-down known as the Shacket is the hybrid shirt + jacket that has been making the rounds in the men’s fashion world for some time. “It’s thick enough to act as a jacket, but equipped with the same layering capabilities as an open oxford,” reports Refinery 29.

Yet, in terms of women’s fashion, the Shacket has been slow to rise into prominence — that is until now.

Earlier this year, ASOS.com presented over 15 styles of Shackets, and British clothing emporium Topshop even created a customized hybrid button-down for model Karlie Kloss, per The Telegraph. Jacqui Markham, global designer director for Topshop told the newspaper that the popularity of the Shacket has grown to such an extent that they “now consider the piece as a key spring/summer staple.”

However, during this autumnal season, we’re seeing that this trend is stretching out into winter with more selections for women cropping up like a military-inspired one from Glamorous and J. Crew.
