Utilising a failsafe styling trick that women across the UK have been doing for years, to the England vs. Fiji World Cup game in France, Catherine, Princess of Wales reached into her wardrobe and picked out her favourite bouclé blazer to complete her outfit.
The longline tweed blazer in question hails from high-street hero brand Zara, falls to hip length and is available in ecru and black. Adorned with gold button details and a timeless textured finish, The Princess styled hers with floor length flared trousers and a classic Chanel handbag.
A long-time favourite of Zara’s bouclé blazer selection, The Princess previously styled the blazer in a bright red tone—a trending shade this autumn/winter to an engagement in Kent in September. A true fan of the international high street, last week the Princess of Wales was spotted wearing a knitted co-ord skirt set from French high-street label Sézane.
On Catherine, Princess of Wales: Zara Bouclé Blazer (£66), Chanel Mini-Flap Bag (£3,960). Popularised by non-other than Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in the 1950s, the bouclé jacket has remained a fashion favourite for it’s notable French flair and ability to smarten up relaxed outfit whilst injecting a timeless element to any look. Miraculously, The Princess’s bouclé blazer remains well stocked and available to shop below—most likely because it’s a staple Zara style that comes back in almost every season in different iterations. And if something always boomerangs back to Zara (a brand that notoriously doesn’t do restocks), you know it’s a worthwhile classic to consider.
