Are boden clothes worn as a status symbol?

[babyt2020]

I’d never heard of it until Mumsnet and I’m flabbergasted how ugly the clothes are and the prices are INSANE! Look how ugly this cardo is for £149!!

They have a few good pieces but aren’t a status symbol. I went through a big Boden phase when I had small children as I did bit a lot of kids clothes there. Looking back I looked kind of frumpy and I wouldn’t wear stuff that dowdy now despite being 15 years older!

@babyt2020 YABU.

They're just clothes that wash really well and last.

My Boden trousers lasted 6 years. A dress lasted 4 years and I only replaced it as thanks to perimenopause I got a bit fatter!! Same dress bought but a bigger size.

Boring, predictable, dull clothing

I wear a lot of their dresses for work. My children wore mostly Boden when they younger. They lasted well and were passed on to cousins or friends’s children. I like lots of different brands. Boden is just one of them.

I caught an ad of theirs (models doing some strange dances in what looked like central London) whilst scrolling through Facebook.
Absolutely hideous prints.
