A century of chic: the best Chanel-style jackets to rival the real thing


The boucle jacket is as stylish today as when it was first launched. To help you get the look without the high price, we’ve rounded up top high-street alternatives

Add a thin gold chain belt through your loops for a fun but wearable Y2K update, or go full-on Cher from Clueless and invest in the matching skirt as well. This style from the cult French brand Sézane is made from wool rather than boucle or tweed and is more like a substantial cardigan than a jacket, perfect for those of us who prefer something a bit roomier and less restrictive. It doesn’t have to be all about afternoon tea and petit fours: pair it with blue denim, wide-leg beige chinos or a camel-knit skirt and it will work for the office as well as for the weekend.
