How to Wear A Bouclé Jacket - Outfit Boards

A bouclé jacket has long been a staple in chic French women's wardrobe.
Why, you may ask?
Well, it's simple really.
A bouclé or a tweed jacket à la Chanel is an essential piece due to its versatility and timelessness. And let's not forget about its beauty.
It looks fantastic on, you can wear it with so many other things and it makes your style look raffiné.
You can wear it with casual as well as elevated pieces.

This little jacket never goes out of style. The classic style of the tweed or bouclé jacket is a jewel neckline, but the short blazer style with lapels is also popular. You can also find these jackets in every colour and in the popular houndstooth print. Many chic and elegant women have a prized black bouclé jacket in their closet. They've probably had it forever. Which style and colour do you have?

By the way, in case you are wondering what the French word 'bouclé' means, it refers to the texture of the fabric, which forms loops and curls: 'curl' = 'boucle' in French).
