Fall fashion is our favorite time of year - we love leather jackets, pumpkin spice lattes on chilly days, boots galore...the list goes on and on. One trend this season is ladies' shackets. They offer enough warmth without being too bulky like a jacket would be - they're like a shirt and jacket in one! They come in many different colors, patterns, lengths to keep you warm on those chilly days.

They are the perfect way to stay cute and cozy during fall. They can be worn alone or layered with a sweater for an extra layer of warmth.

But what is a ladies shacket? It's like a shirt and a jacket - Shacket.

It's a shirt thick enough to be halfway between a shirt and a jacket—an ideal, year-round layering piece.

A ladies shacket can be worn as a shirt, with the sleeves rolled up or down. It's great to wear on those chilly days when you don't want to put your jacket all the way back on.

Shackets come in many different colors, textures, and styles too! For example, there are some that have long sleeves but no collar. In addition, a shacket is a popular alternative to a cardigan this season.

Shackets come in many different patterns to match any style, making them the perfect go-to wardrobe item during brisk months ahead!

How to wear a shacket

They come in so many different colors and styles it's easy to find one that is versatile.

For a casual chic look wear it with denim jeans, leggings, or a skirt if you want to stay warm on those cold days.

Layering different colors of shirts will help you achieve a chic look.

We love the idea of layering over a flowy long dress and pairing it with a wide-brim hat.

Shackets colors we love right now

When shopping for a shacket, we obviously LOVE our neutrals and think a beige, creams, shades of green, copper, terra cotta and copper are versatile and perfect for cozy chic fall outfits!

We love love this color palette because it offers versatility of outfits paired with them. You can wear it with jeans, a black shirt, and cute boots for an outfit that screams fall, or you can style the same shacket with black tights and a floral dress to add some fun color.

What to Look for in a Shacket:

Shackets come in many different colors and styles so it's important that you find one that will match your style. They are perfect if you want to be cute but stay warm on cool days! It's also important to make sure your shacket is thick enough for some warmth but not so thick that it gets too hot - we call this "just right". There should always be room between layers when you're wearing a ladies shacket. If there isn't then reconsider going up a size :)

Women's Shackets are in this fall-winter season so don't skip them when shopping for fall wardrobe staples! We have found our new favorite way to keep cozy while staying cute at work...wearing one as an outerwear option that doubles as both cardigan and jacket ;)

Family pictures are meant to capture the love and memories you have with your family. What better way to do that than by dressing them all in their best outfits? We've put together a few tips for how mom can dress, and what everyone else should wear so that you too can look effortlessly chic when it's time for your family photos!

Style Tips:

Mom -start with your outfit first, try these tips when picking something for yourself:

• Wear a dress. For an effortless and chic look choose a dress that has a flattering fit.
• Dresses with a fitted waist are great for flattering your figure. They not only make you look thinner but also give your waist a shape. 

You'll be able to find a dress that you feel fabulous and confident in with our wide selection of fitted dresses.

• Choose the color you want to wear and build from there.  Once you choose your outfit build the color scheme off of your outfit for the rest of the family.
• Choose something comfortable, and easy to move in. This can be anything from jeans to skirts to dresses - just make sure they fit comfortably while being flattering!
• Accessorize! Add belts, hats, scarves, jewelry, or other items that make sense for the season.
• Switch accessories during your family photo shoot to get a few different looks.

Choose your color scheme.

• You can find outfit ideas on Pinterest of family pictures with outfits to help you with choosing the colors and look you like
• We recommend choosing 2-3 colors for the color palette and then having variations based on these color options.

• It's important to consider not only which outfits will work best in different situations but also how they will look on you--considering things like color palette preferences (warm or cool), fabric choice (light vs heavyweight), etc.--and do some preplanning before heading out so everything goes smoothly once there!
• Coordinate but don't match, use colors that complement each other. The main reason for this is that wearing the same color is going to blend into each other. You want to create balance in your family pictures.

Think muted colors.

Avoid overpowering colors when they distract from the picture. Look for a mixed version of the same color. If one wants a hot pink shirt, try a soft dusty rose instead.

Choose the location for family photos

• Consider the location and what style of clothing make sense.
• Take into account the location and what style of clothing would make sense.
• Consider where you are going to be, weather conditions, and your desired level of formality when selecting clothes for your family photos. You may want something that is classic and formal or boho-chic and effortless.
• Consider the mood you want before shopping.
• Work with your photographer to pick a location for the shoot.

What to Avoid.

• Avoid busy patterns such as busy stripes and tight plaid, shirts with logos. Large patterns tend to overwhelm the subject. But at the same time, you don’t want a tiny pattern if the colors contrast (a light and a dark color together).
• Avoid oversized items that don't fit well, they will not photograph well.
• Scrunchies and hair-ties on wrists
• Watches that are too modern (they just really stand out and date your photos)
• Phones or keys in pockets (or anything, really. Empty those pockets!)

It can be difficult to know what outfits your family should wear for their photo shoot. You want to make sure that you’re choosing colors and styles that work well together so the photos turn out great. We've done some research into how other people have styled themselves in family photoshoots to help give you some tips on what might work best for you! Be sure to shop Scout and Poppy dress collection we are sure you'll be able to find a dress that you feel fabulous and confident in with our wide selection of dresses.
