First made an It-girl item by Coco Chanel in the 1950s, a tweed jacket remains a truly timeless piece. Still synonymous with the French fashion house, they've also been seen on the runways at the likes of Balmain, Celine and Isabel Marant.

Once worn by Princess Diana and Brigitte Bardot, in more recent years a cropped tweed Chanel jacket has been the style to be seen in, spotted on everyone from Princess Kate to Kate Moss.

Looking for a new jacket to wear through the transitioning seasons? A bouclé style piece will dress up your off-duty denim or complete your occasionwear. I've even seen Miu Miu proving its versatility by pairing tweed jackets with athlesiure on the runway.

Of course French fashionista Camille Charriere loves a Chanel jacket, pictured above outside the runway show in Paris. Katie Holmes made a case for a bolder shade wearing a statement red piece from the AW19 collection, and Elsa Hosk took to the streets of Paris, looking amazing in this Chanel-inspired cream cropped jacket by Marcéla London.

Back in 2022, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out at the Invictus Games wearing a cropped black tweed jacket with gold buttons by Celine. She paired it with high-waisted jeans by Moussy Vintage, a crossbody bag also by Celine, and two-tone ballet flats by Chanel. Meghan perfectly demonstrated how a cropped tweed jacket can be used to dress up and add a touch of sophistication to the most casual outfits.

Chanel Autumn/Winter 2025

Chanel's AW25 show was an array of tweed in the brand's signature shades, from black to cream and pink to slate grey. Pieces ranged from cropped jackets to waistcoats and mini dresses.

Nothing looks more chic than a matching set, and back in March Jessica Alba was pictured wearing a cropped tweed Chanel jacket and mini skirt in Paris. She accessorised with a Chanel handbag, black tights and slingback heels.

How to style a cropped jacket

As well as a classic jeans and white t-shirt combination, I'd wear a cropped Chanel-style jacket to elevate a little black dress or mini skirt. I also love how Elsa styled her cream jacket with a pair of wide-leg trousers and chunky gold jewellery.

I saw someone wearing this bouclé jacket on Instagram recently and was so happy to find out it's not designer and it's actually from Boden. Made from a wool blend in a cool boxy cut with a contrast trim, it's top of my wish list.

I tried Mango's short textured jacket and it's even better in person. The camel-coloured piece has a straight, fitted cut, and is available in sizes XXS-4XL, making it one of the most inclusive on the high street. It features two front patch pockets and has a frayed finish.

River Island Bouclé Tailored Sequin Jacket

River Island sequin boucle jacket

Editor's Note:

It's never too early to start wearing sequins and I predict this cropped jacket from River Island will sell out long before the festive season. Made from a bouclé fabric with pearl-embellished buttons, there's also a matching skirt and mini dress available.
