Stella McCartney’s take on a bouclé jacket just happens to be made from denim, that has been Regenagri-certified cotton. You still get the plush, textured look of bouclé, but with a sustainable fabrication that you can feel good about investing in. We are going straight for the matching five-pocket skirt for a cool power pairing.

A timeless staple that is always in Nili Lotan’s seasonless offerings, the Paola jacket features a slightly cropped silhouette, with pockets aplenty, and gold-tone buttons, giving it a slight utilitarian feel. Play up the retro notes and wear with a fitted turtleneck, miniskirt, and knee-high boots, for a modern twist inspired by the past.

Winter whites is totally a thing, so we suggest scooping up this cropped number now for the colder seasons ahead. The boxy fit makes it ideal to be worn with contrasting, high-waisted trousers, but we would also go with baggy white jeans for a full-on monochrome look. Both are timeless takes that can be worn straight through spring.

Colors: White

Materials: Polyester, wool

Although we love a boxy-cut jacket in the bouclé category, if you are more of a blazer lover, this Chloé was made for you. The elegant, double-breasted fit was designed with an oversize lapel and gold-tone buttons, to really hit on all the label's signature style notes. We love the idea of it worn as is, with a bare neckline underneath, but we will surely be pairing it with our favorite cashmere sweaters and turtlenecks as the temperatures start to drop.

Sizes: 34–44

Colors: Black

Materials: Virgin wool, polyamide, elastane

Not all bouclé jackets have to cost a fortune. H&M’s take comes at a fair price point and top quality. This dreamy cream tone is speaking to us at the moment, but you can choose from three other colorways, including black and gray, should you prefer. Toss over your shoulders for a nonchalant, Parisian vibe and your look just got a whole lot chicer.

And how luxe is this perfect shade of navy? Bonus points: It is also machine-washable.

Paris-based brand Sandro always has something bouclé in its seasonal offerings; it’s the epitome of French-girl cool, after all.

Inspired by tailoring from the 1950s, Lafayette 148 gives new life to the iconic shape by playing with the jacket’s construction. This version has been sliced and diced, lending a patchwork feel, while hand-fringe detailing gives it a softer note. Wear with a miniskirt and flats for a vintage-inspired feel, or straight-leg jeans and sneakers for everyday wear.

Sizes: XS–XXL

Colors: Black, cloud

Materials: Polyester

Prepare for fall with this wardrobe power player from Frame.

It’s a modern-day miracle.

Think of Gucci’s take on the bouclé jacket as a modern-day investment piece, which can be worn for years to come. True to the fashion house’s DNA, this one is a hybrid between a blazer and boxy-fit, making for a preppy meets contemporary take, that can be styled in a plethora of ways. We love the idea of a high-waisted pleated trouser here, with one of the brand’s signature shoulder bags.

Sizes: 36–48 IT

Colors: Ivory

Materials: Cotton, viscose, wool, lama, polyamide

St. John is mixing things up with this shrunken take on its signature bouclé. A three-quarter-length sleeve and open-front, buttonless closure give it a unique spin and an undone feel that is refreshing. Of course, you can wear it with a pencil skirt, but we’d style it over a silky tunic top and flowy trousers for a downtown-meets-uptown vibe.
