If nothing else, due to changes in lifestyles, the pandemic has been able to go into the trunks of classics and revive icons that have long been forgotten.
Classics such as the “Bomber Jacket”, the “Norfolk” and, the hit of summer XXI, the Safari Jacket, came out of the box and are here to stay.
At suMisura, we continue to advocate “Suit Means Business” for when life is elevated and taken more seriously. However, the times have brought a little more casualness into our lives and, in this case, causality in the suMisura O/I 21/22 offer, in a disruptive way and yet with the standards of elegance and quality to which our customers are accustomed.
We sought out the lightness of shirt construction, offered jacket finishes and a huge range of tailoring fabrics that gave rise to a cause for dressing: The Shacket.
Let’s understand this causality in elegant casualwear and this kid who has just arrived in town.
If the concept of the Over-Shirt – a garment that descends directly from work shirts – is very much on trend and present in all fashion collections, this up-grade, baptised as the Shacket, not only elevates a mass casual garment to the manufacturing refinement of a sports jacket, but also opens up a whole range of possibilities in terms of fabrics, textures, weight and patterns. This “alchemy” of bringing together the best of both worlds, a profession of suMisura Mestres de Medida, once again results in a hybrid that brings together the best of the shirt and the best of the jacket, resulting in a concept that is both unique and all-encompassing.
The Shacket is inside and outside, it’s office and home, it’s country or beach, it’s relaxed or not, it’s autumn and spring, it’s summer and winter, and it’s in this versatility that the Shacket manifests itself as a piece of excellence that’s here to stay. From cotton or linen knitwear, to cotton or woollen trench coats, from linen to couture, in denim or tweeds, from the most rustic to the most luxurious, such as supreme cashmere, the options are immense to fulfil relaxed elegance on all occasions and in all environments, for more or less sophisticated tastes.
The Shacket is a certainty in the face of the uncertainty of not knowing what to wear for a particular occasion or in an indeterminate era, such as this post-pandemic one. It’s a time of major changes in codes and values, and even in everyday life-savers. At suMisura, we believe that the Shacket has the potential to be the piece that solves, that scores and that wins (reminiscent of a certain Portuguese football star).
Make an appointment to visit the suMisura atelier, have your Shacket made and join a world as elegant as a jacket and as light as a shirt.
