Thanks to Taylor Swift, Cottage Core and the fact that we’ve gravitated to the more functional items of clothing this year, the shacket has really been having a moment. From Zara to Isabel Marant, there’s no escaping this woolen checked shirt. But, if you’re panicking that your shacket’s days are numbered thanks to the upcoming spring weather, then do I have good news for you. It’s time, dear reader, to consider the chore jacket, also known as the worker jacket or French workers jacket. Created in a cotton or denim, it’s a boxy, loose-fit jacket that often comes with four pockets (hello, functional), and buttons at the cuffs.
