If you thought wearing neutrals was boring,Martha Stewartjust proved that definitely isn’t the case.

The media mogul attended a dinner celebratingthe latest Jimmy Choo campaignduring New York Fashion Week, and we couldn’t take our eyes off her outfit. More specifically, her boxy white shacket, which was equal parts stylish and functional, thanks to a five-button front, straight point collar, and slightly rolled sleeves. While Stewart chose a variety of neutral pieces, the way she teamed them was anything but boring. She layered the jacket over a tan tee and the glamorous gold pants she’s broken outnumerous times over the years, finishing the look with brown suede booties and a bold leopard-print tote.

The shacket is a versatile piece that comes back season after season, and for good reason. (Yes, that rhymed.) The shirt-jacket hybrid is casual yet sophisticated, and the transitional style offers enough warmth for multiple temperatures. Take a page out of Stewart’s style book and wear one indoors during frigid winter months, then as a lighter layer once warmer spring weather hits.
