Statement jackets for AW12

Boucle
Boucle jackets first hit our high street in SS12. They appeared earlier on in the year and since then have been offered to us in a range of colours, textures and styles with different retailers having their own unique take on this trend. 
H&M and River Island have brought us biker style boucle jackets, where as Zara, New Look and Topshop have kept their styles a more traditional, classic shape which look slightly 'Chanel' like.

Sequins
Metallics were a big trend last AW with metallic dresses, shoes and accessories taking over the high street. However, I have noticed an increase in sequined jackets. This weekend I purchased a cobalt blue sequined jacket from 'Poot', a vintage retailer in Frome, Somerset. Cobalt blue is a key colour this season, and at just £20 I have found myself a statement vintage piece.

However, as this is a one off piece, I have found you more jackets similar to this one, in a variety of colours from retailers such as George and New Look. Cow (a vintage retailer) also offer vintage sequin jackets if you want a one off piece.
