shackets!!

10sluvr — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 17:39:11 GMT

If i hear the word "shackets" one more time, it's going to get ugly! It's right up there with Fri-yay. If hosts get paid to talk, they shouldn't abbreviate, to make less words.

ok, rant over.

I didn't even know that this is a word until I saw it on QVC. Is this a real word? How long has it been around? To me, it almost sounds like a bad word.

Shackets and shooties are words being widely used in the fashion industry. Rather than getting ugly, just watch a religious channel and calm down or watch the news and get really ugly.

Shackets were trendy over the past two years. The hosts aren't making it up. If Hilaria Baldwin's jacket had buttons and was a little shorter, it would be the most viewed shacket of the past year.

You shouldn't have to hear that word too much longer - they're definitely going "out."

What does "shacket" mean? Something + jacket, but I can't think what it comes from.

@Another new name Sue , perhaps it's a combination of "shirt" and "jacket"?

That's all I can think of.

I agree with the OP, they are dumb words and no one was getting ugly Used by the fashion industry doesn't impress at all.

Back in the day, they called them Big Shirts. I suppose Shackets is supposed to sound modern and new. They are neither.

Have a sense of humor. The op was purposly exaggerating. I thought it was funny and true!

It seems as though many people here are very set in their ways. No new words (even if they are part of the common vernacular, not a word made-up by someone at the Q), no new styles, even if they are currently on trend—note I didn't say trendy (they all look "sloppy" or they "never see anyone wearing them"), etc.

I thik shacket is a perfect descriptive word to describe an article of clothing that can be worn buttoned up as a shirt or over another top as a jacket.

Also I have used the word shooties for a good while when describing my four pair of shoes that don't come far enough up to be a boot but is just below anke and too high to be seen as a shoe. Good for just a minor skim of snow when a boot is not necessary.

Good gracious. The hosts are calling it exactly what it is.

Shacket is a well-used word that was not invented by QVC. Look at any other retail fashion site.

I was not getting ugly. I said it as jest. Make of it what you will. The above is what the OP said and perhaps you were not reading into it my meaning. Sorry.

It makes it so much easier to search for an item when you have a very specific, descriptive name for it. I'm not offended.😊

@Leelee1123

So did I and I was responding in jest. You don't have to turn your sense of humor off when someone else posts.
