I see this all the time on MN. What kind of a lady does it describe?

Boden Man is dressed by his wife.

Boden kids are dressed by their mother.

I suspect that said wife/mother does not wear boden herself.

Nigella wouldn't fit into Boden. Not the bottom halves, anyway.

No, your ultimate Boden mummy is someone like Samantha Cameron. Or I can imagine Helen Baxendale bothering the sassy jeans.

donnie · 20/08/2008 18:27

nigella is far too fat for boden.

princessglitter · 20/08/2008 18:28

What about someone like Jules Oliver?

GrapeJelly · 20/08/2008 18:37

Would Joanna Trollope be a Boden granny? She's too old to be a Boden mummy. Maybe grandparents could be their next target consumers then they'd have the full family.

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 20/08/2008 18:44

PMSL at "grandparents being next target customers". They could call it Biddy Boden

donnie · 20/08/2008 18:45

I think Jodie Marsh is a typical boden tart, is she not?

zippitippitoes · 20/08/2008 18:45

what about mrs jamie ooliver

EachPeachPearMum · 20/08/2008 20:52

Chippy - I share an office with the family you speak of!
Said 'Boden Man' only wears Boden to work (inc socks! dunno about pants don't want to find out ). Don't think he knows any other clothing stores/brands tbh.

His children wear Boden- but tbf, the old stuff did wear really well.

Wife does not wear Boden

He is lovely, but infuriating in many ways!

Sensible Boden-wearing mums seagull through the supermarkets and matalan for boden stylee kids clothes. And pocket the savings to fund their own Boden habit

SoupDragon · 20/08/2008 21:16

Imagine a thread like this asking what is "chav" and there would be (and has been on many occasions) an uproar.

PinkyDinkyDooToo · 21/08/2008 18:16

I want ot be a Boden mummy, but can't really afford it

If I could I would dress mostly in Boden and Joules

BodenGroupie · 28/08/2008 13:54

Chippyminton, have you been spying on me?

sophiebbb · 28/08/2008 14:02

My DS wears Boden clothes. I love them - much better than some of the boys shit you find out there. Unfortunately they are expensive although I buy them a year in advance in the sales...! However I do know from reading other threads on this the stereotypes about Boden mums.

I was at the YMCA kids club this morning with my DS and had turned over the top of his Boden trousers because he is so skinny and they fall down. The label was therefore showing and I found myself thinking (very briefly mind because I am not that insecure) - oh no, I hope other people in here aren't looking at me and judging me by the clothes he is wearing.

To judge people or their kids because of the clothes they wear is CRAP IMO.
