I looked at this green/yellow boucle jacket in H&M Knightsbridge last week, really loved it, decided to "think" about it (stupidly) and then spotted it on Day One of London Fashion Week and realised I should have gone with my instinct and just snapped it up.
I have always been a sucker for a "Chanelesque" jacket and this one is no exception. They never, ever, go out of fashion and virtually every designer or high street store will end up producing a version each season, maybe because of its versatility, it is a great wardrobe staple that can be worn by any age group and in so many ways, over dresses, skirts, and will give an instant update to smart black trousers and a white shirt for the office but would also be an invaluable piece for someone like me who lives and dies in Jeans, just throw on the jacket for an instant update to your daily wardrobe hero's to give yourself and your outfit a boost of spring time brightness!
The jacket is from the "Trend" collection and is not available on the website (see I told you I should have bought it when I saw it) and costs £39.99 if I remember rightly.
As there is no stock image on Google I have had to use the images of the girls who wore it to Fashion Week and who made me want it even more................

With Vintage Chanel boucle jackets starting at around £400 plus on ebay, it will have to be a high street option for me sadly.......

The word "boucle" refers to a yarn with a length of loops of a similar size which can range from tiny circlets to large curls.
See by Chloe Boucle Jacket from Farfetch was £331.67 now £199.
The great thing about Boucle is that depending on the scale of the yearn, the jackets either hang softly (thicker yarn) or are more structured (smaller yarn) - so every body shape looks great in them! I'm with you, they are timeless. I have a black one hanging in my warbrobe...which reminds me...
ReplyDeleteLucky you, a black one is most certainly a timeless style staple!
DeleteThere is nothing more annoying when you decide to 'think' about something and then you can't get it! Happens to me all the time!! Too frustrating, next time let's just make the purchase. Great jacket too!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, I must not make this mistake ever again!
DeleteIt is a fabulous jacket! Must have a look in H&M. I love boucle jackets with jeans:)

Me too Anne, so gutted, need to go back to London!
DeleteHi my dear-gorgeous jacket from H&M, very inspiring! I must wear my Chanel boucle jacket this Spring, its lemon and green and just waiting to be worn! Have a great week xxx
ReplyDeleteYou have a Chanel one. Sob.
DeleteOh my that jacket is a winner you should have got it & one for me xx
ReplyDeleteI know. Am Div of the highest order!
DeleteThat is a cute jacket. Love it in the light green colour.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog by the way, I am now following :) xx
Yes it is cute, so wish I had bought it! Thank you for following! x
DeleteI don't really like the boucle ones, I have a Chanel jacket but it no longer fits! It's joining those Ebay ranks. In the past I just bought things to fulfil a category in my life - am working through that!
ReplyDeleteThat will be one very lucky lady who gets your jacket! I can't believe it no longer fits your "to die for" figure!
DeleteThat's a great jacket. I am also a sucker for Chanel-esque, but don't care for most of the slavish imitators. Right now Etoile Isabel Marant is my favorite contender.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out the Marant one x
DeleteLove it - great colours.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah what a great colour combo, really like the cut too. I love nothing more than a boucle jacket and am lucky enough to own two Chanel ones, I know, I know greedy bitch. But they will last me a life time! x
ReplyDeleteThere is still some of these jackets in-stock at my local H&M store, Picked it up today but I didn't buy it as it was £49,99 (which I didn't have on me at that moment of time) but I will go again next weekend and buy it if its still there. H&M have really good items this season :) x
