Boucle jacket for work

12 replies

cornflakes5 · 06/03/2019 21:56

I'm looking for a smart black bouclé jacket for work. With matching skirt if possible, but not a big deal.

I've looked at all the usual players, like Hobbs, LK Bennett and Jaeger, but nothing hugely appealing. The only one I've liked has been M&S of all places, but they're sold out of size 8.

Can anyone help me? Budget is ÂŁ200 (surely that's enough?) max though ideally less. I'm size 8 and early 30s. Thank you!

I've not checked but Zara and Mango are usually good and even Dorothy Perkins on occasion. I think DP have a boucle style 100 per cent cotton black dress currently.

Hush usually have boucle jackets in Spring, they had matching shorts last year if you are that way inclined!

Saw this IRL in Uniqlo and looked nice. Website says there is a matching dress.

Loads of them at river island I don't know about matching sets though

Zara has some - saw some yesterday. The jackets aren’t lined though.

A third vote for looking at Zara; they do some every year.

I know you said you've looked at Hobbs, but did you see the Gabriella jacket with dress/skirt in the sale?

@dameofdilemma I hadn't thought of Uniqlo! I've had a look and they have lots of lovely jackets. Some of which very Marie Kondo, which is no bad thing Smile thank you so much

Thank you everyone. I think Uniqlo might be the way forward for me rather than Zara or Mango. I have an aversion to these two (which are quite similar) for some reason!

I love Uniqloand find the quality a bit better than Zara/Mango.
Only complaint I have is the sizing is huge at Uniqlo.
