Bouclé

Bouclé is a fabric made from looped, curled yarn that creates a distinctive bumpy, nubby, textured surface. Soft yet structured, it's most associated with the classic collarless tweed-style jacket and matching skirt suits, lending an elegant, slightly retro, ladylike feel to jackets, cardigans, and dresses.

The looped yarn is what defines bouclé — both the word and the look come from the French for curled — giving it dimension and a cozy, handcrafted texture that hides seams and holds shape well.

Bouclé sits in the same textured, heritage-jacket family as tweed and is a signature of timeless, old money tailoring.
