Today's Everyday Fashion: The Boucle Jacket

Inspiration: People

Skirt is navy blue.


Boucle jackets are a recent obsession of mine. I bought two on clearance in January from Zara, including the one I'm wearing today. They come in many shapes and colors (as you can see below) but they have a texture in common that I love for the visual interest and sophistication they add to an outfit; I almost feel like the First Lady when I'm wearing one. I like the idea of pairing boucle jackets with something trendy like peplum or t-strap shoes like in today's look, or masculine touches such as leather or graphic tees. Have you ever worn a boucle jacket? Why or why not?

  2. I recently made a boucle jacket that is inspired by one I saw from Zara. I'm going to be posting it on my blog soon (if you want to check it out :)). I love them too! They look so polished and lady-like. I like to pair mine with some flare jeans or boyfriend jeans and a loose T underneath. I love your look- especially the necklace and shoes!

  6. You can find great boucle jackets from thrift stores. And I'm intrigued by the idea of boucle with leather. Must try.

  9. I guess I'm not the only one with a current obsession. I have two Cynthia Rowley jackets (one yellow, one black) that I bought on clearance from TJ Maxx for a steal. I also have a jacket that's sort of a tweedy mix with cotton sleeves from the Limited. These are my Jackie O jackets, lol. They are perfect for spring and SO classy. A look I have worked twice since buying my jackets...boucle with distressed skinnies and wedges. Compliments both times :)

  12. Once again, I like your outfit even more than the inspiration. I think it's the proportions of the skirt. Yours is much more balanced. Very sophisticated color palate and you rock the peplum! Please keep inspiring the rest of us.

  15. I think Mango and Zara have the best boucle jackets. They are such great versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down - I have one that I love.

  17. Yes they are totally Jackie O! I wore this jacket with distressed denim and pointy toe heels, I agree it is an excellent combo! :-)

  18. I dont wear boucle jackets because most people don't wear them in high school, I think it's great for dressier occasions though!
