The age-old question: is it a shirt, is it a jacket? Or is it both? Is it a... shacket?

Whatever you want to call it, you truly can't beat it. This is a genre of clothing versatile enough to function as both a formal shirt and as weatherproof outerwear, while simultaneously being neither. That makes it the ideal cop for fall, a transitional season where the weather is never truly cold, nor warm.

Lucky for us all, there's an array of brands offering up shirt jackets on a silver platter this season. Below are some of our favorites.
