Mumsnet’s top autumn picks from Boden you’ll love

Our verdict

A pussy bow blouse is one of the top statement items to add to your autumn wardrobe. The vintage design will pull together any look and add an instant touch of chic and elegance. We love the bright pattern of this Boden blouse, and the contrasting sleeves and bow add a unique twist.

The blouse is versatile in that it can be dressed up with a pencil skirt or tailored trousers and dressed down with some jeans and simple pumps.

Plus, the viscose fabric is really breathable, which will be a welcome relief on those autumn days when the air is still a tad humid. It’s a piece that will work for autumn, winter and spring. A worthwhile investment!

Our verdict

We can’t talk about autumn style without a mention of the Fair Isle design. The eye-catching knitwear is a timeless classic loved by celebrities and royals, including Kate Middleton.

This design from Boden comes in four stunning colours and the straight fit makes it such a flattering piece. Despite the intricate stitching, it’s machine-washable which makes it an easy item to care for. 

Not only has it proven popular with our Mumsnetters but it’s also received rave reviews online, with customers praising the softness of the material.

Our verdict

One of the must-have items for an autumn/winter wardrobe is knitwear. And what better than knitwear that will keep you warm, but look and feel fantastic too?

Boden has a great range of cashmere and we love this boyfriend-style jumper available in bright green and hot pink.

The jumper is made of 100% cashmere so it’s worth the pricey investment. Not only will cashmere keep you warm but it also has a lightweight feel that makes it breathable to wear through those transitional months. 

The oversized fit is a modern touch and also means that you can easily layer underneath on frosty winter mornings. 

Our verdict

Crafted from a blend of viscose, polyamide, and elastane, these trousers strike a perfect balance between comfort and structure. They sit comfortably at the natural waist and hug the hips for a flattering fit, then elegantly flare out, creating a silhouette that's both classic and contemporary. 

We love the bold Winter Green and Hot Pepper red colourways, which are easy to tone down when paired with a neutral coloured blouse or a basic white t-shirt.

Wear with simple pointed-toe flats in the milder months, and team with chunky knit socks and some ankle boots when there’s more of a chill in the air.

Our verdict

Classic tailoring can really elevate your wardrobe and blazers are actually a really versatile clothing piece. They add an instant feel of professionalism to your look but you can easily dress them down with denim and flat shoes for an off-duty style.

This wool design is a semi-fitted shape that really flatters the waistline. The wool fabric means it’s such a great layering piece for those colder months. Plus, it’s fully-lined for long-lasting appeal.

It finishes at the hip and has front pockets and double buttons for a classic tailored feel. 

Our verdict

A ponte style dress is ideal for looking stylish in the cooler months due to the soft and stretchy knitted fabric. The defined waistband is amazing at cinching you in to achieve more of an hourglass silhouette. It’s available in a simple but chic black, an emerald green, a navy blue and a stunning fuschia pink.

Plus, there’s a great choice of sizing options as it’s available in petite, regular and tall. Perfect for any fit.

Our verdict

From Beyonce to Rihanna and even Kate Middleton, the military jacket is a quintessential style loved by both Mumsnetters and celebs alike during the cooler months. 

The signature trim and gold buttons of this Boden jacket add a touch of elegance but the design can be worn with anything from a maxi dress to a pair of distressed denim jeans. This cropped style from Boden is a popular choice with Mumsnetters. The clash of the navy with the red trim is also a really pleasing colour combination.

Our verdict

One of the most-talked about styles from Boden has to be this long-sleeve cord dress. It’s proven so popular that some sizes are already out of stock!

Available in a great choice of colours, the A-line design is flattering and feminine, while the detachable waistband can be used to create more of a structured waist or taken off for a looser fit. It’s also available in petite, regular and long, and from sizes 6 to 22. Some reviewers say it’s a little tight on the chest though, so you may need to size up if you have a larger bust.

Our verdict

This blouse is made from 100% silk and feels luxurious and lightweight against the skin. It comes in a great choice of patterns and colours, including polka dot, striped and geometric prints. It’s a versatile item that you can pair with tailored trousers or a maxi skirt for stylish workwear, or team with denim for an elevated weekend look.

One tip from reviewers is that it can come up shorter on longer torsos so it may be worth sizing up if this is your body type.

Our verdict

One of the ultimate transitional pieces is a knitted tank. Pair with a t-shirt and jeans for those early autumn days when the summer sun hasn’t quite said its final goodbyes. And team with longer sleeves or maxi dresses for colder winter mornings.

The Fiona Tank is a blend of cashmere, wool and cotton for a cosy and soft feel. Plus, there’s a good choice of colours to suit any taste. The knitted piece has already proven so popular online, with glowing reviews from happy customers.

One tip is that it can come up short on longer torsos so may be worth sizing up for a longer design.

Our verdict

A wide-legged trouser can be such a flattering shape on multiple body types. On shorter builds, it can create the illusion of longer legs, especially when paired with heels.

We love the modern corduroy design of these trousers from Boden. They come in a black shade and a gorgeous orange rust, which feels ideal for autumn. They’re a great addition to your workwear wardrobe but the thick material will also make them ideal for those early morning walks. 

One downside is that they’re not available in tall, but they do come in petite and regular.

Our verdict

Who says maxi dresses are just for the summer months? This gorgeous maxi dress from Boden is perfect for the colder season. Team with tights and winter boots for an effortless style. It’s also the ideal base layer for fur gilets, knitted tanks and structured jackets. 

Balloon sleeves are also a flattering design as they create the illusion of a narrower waist. Plus, the dress comes with side seam pockets - always an added bonus!

Our verdict

A faux fur gilet is one of our favourite layering pieces. Wear over a t-shirt or long-sleeved blouse for those cooler days, and team with chunky knitwear or a long-sleeve maxi dress for when the winter chill comes. 

The chocolate brown of this gilet will work with many different colours. Best of all, this piece will last well into your spring wardrobe as it’s lightweight enough to wear as an alternative to a jacket.

Our verdict

Shift dresses may be a summer staple, but they work well for the autumn months too. The straight cut is fitted on the bust but skims over the stomach, which is ideal if that’s an area you’d rather conceal.

This loose fit design from Boden looks incredible when worn over long-sleeved tops and statement blouses. And it’s the perfect addition to your wardrobe for summer and spring too, as you can wear it on its own when things start to warm up again.

It comes in navy and black but we love the hot pepper shade as it will inject some much needed colour into those short, dark days. Plus, the dress has pockets. What’s not to love?

Our verdict

A slip skirt really is the perfect day-to-night piece. Wear for work with a chunky knit or simple t-shirt then elevate the look with heels and some statement jewellery for a bit of evening glam.

This style from Boden is a midi length, which is perfect for showcasing your heels or winter boots. Plus, the midnight blue works with so many colours and patterns. It’s also available in a petite size, which is great for shorter builds. Or you could opt for the regular length if you want more of a maxi style!
