Every Autumn/Winter brings seasonal fashion trends. We love them, we wear them, we throw them. Fashion followers repeat this cycle every season but those with true style will have a wardrobe full of statement pieces that never go out of style.
Some Autumn/Winter fabrics are not seasonal trends at all, but timeless, classic textures that have their place time and time again in almost every designer collection.
Enter bouclé fabric.
Translated literally from French to mean ‘curled’, bouclé fabric is characterized by its curly, knotted appearance that is created by its open, woven weave. Used by almost everyone from Chanel to Christian Dior in the form of jackets, dresses, and trousers, this most definitely is a must-have fabric for your Autumn/Winter wardrobe.
Here are our favourites from this season.
Paul Costelloe showcased bouclé in this season's must-have colour combination - wine red, burgundy and pink, topped off with a fur scarf.
Balenciaga offered a modern twist on the classic bouclé jacket by switching a tailored silhouette for a tulip shape and a single button.
Emilia Wickstead showed us how to do feminine with a gorgeous pink jacket, belt, and culottes combination. A fresh alternative to the classic bouclé jacket & pencil skirt look.
Christian Dior showcased two gorgeous large weave bouclé full-length coats in eye-popping colour combinations with concealed fastenings.
We couldn't talk bouclé without mentioning Chanel. As always Chanel had an array of beautiful bouclé jackets, skirts, and dresses. We particularly love this 'exaggerated bouclé' jacket which has a fabulous texture.
Use a timeless ivory wool bouclé and a matching trim appliqué to recreate this designer look.
Whatever your style, invest in your own bouclé staple from our extensive collection.
