Now and then we come across a designer lookalike that we just can't pass by, why spend a fortune on a designer piece when you can get the look for A LOT less? If you follow all things fashion then no doubt you've probably seen that the 'old trend', bouclé, has been having a bit of a fashion moment- a resurgence should we say. Arguably it was Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel who put it on the sartorial map over 60 years ago, but this fabrication really hasn't lost its sense of style. We couldn't believe it when we stumbled across this designer-esque jacket from high street favourite River Island for only £70 here- it looks so expensive and we guarantee it will gain you loads of compliments.
Due to its origins, bouclé, especially Chanel-style jackets, have become associated with high-end style and the 'old money' aesthetic that went viral on TikTok last year. We're all for looking like a million dollars, well, without actually spending it. Some Chanel signature bouclé jackets would currently set you back over 6K- this simply isn't the kind of money we have to part with.
Luckily the high street has answered our prayers with this chic copycat. The jacket is available in a cream, dogtooth and red tartan check, which has now been reduced in the January sale for only £40 here. Bargain! To give the trend a modern update wear it with wide-leg jeans and metallic ballet pumps.
However, shoppers needn't stop there when searching for a designer-inspired jacket as River Island has nailed it this season. We also adore this embellished collar bouclé jacket which could also be mistaken for a Chanel number. Unbelievably it's now only £40 reduced from £90 in the River Island sale here.
That's more than half-price off! We predict a sell-out.
