Become a Boden Insider: we’re looking for 30 stylish Mumsnetters

We’re teaming up with Boden and looking for 30 Mumsnetters to become Boden Insiders.

As an Insider, you’ll be part of something exciting on Mumsnet - sharing style tips, giving honest feedback, and showing how Boden fits into actual, busy lives.
If you love fashion, enjoy talking about it, and want to champion brands that genuinely work for you - this is your chance.

We’re recruiting:

Spring/Summer group: 15 users (6 womenswear-only testers + 9 womenswear + childrenswear testers)
Autumn/Winter group: 15 users (same split)

Here’s what’s involved:

👗 You’ll receive a generous Boden budget to select an outfit (or two!) that makes you feel amazing, whether it’s for school runs, work meetings, weekend adventures, or family fun. Those testing childrenswear will also receive an allowance for their child.

📝 You’ll share your experience and style tips in editorial features. Our content team will interview you to hear your thoughts and showcase your Boden picks in a truly authentic, community-led series.

💬 You’ll help lead conversations on our forums, inspiring others with honest, real-life insights about what you (and your children) love to wear. We’ll invite you to join a couple of ATCs (Ask the Community discussions) across the campaign. Topics might include how your style has evolved, what makes you feel confident, and more.

We’re celebrating women of all life stages, walks of life, and body types because confidence and great style are for everyone. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe, seeking clothes that work for your busy life, or simply love Boden’s signature style, this is your chance to shine.

You’ll get to try Boden’s latest collections and help shape the conversation around what real style looks and feels like.

👉 Want to be considered? Fill in this survey to tell us a bit about you!

💬 A quick note on privacy: We know anonymity is important on Mumsnet. While we’d love to feature photos of you wearing your outfits in our editorials, we understand this might not be right for everyone—especially when it comes to children. If you'd prefer, we’re happy to feature flat-lay photos instead. Don’t feel you have to miss out if you’d rather not be pictured!

We’d love to include a few key details to bring your story to life like your body size and a quick snapshot of your life stage (e.g. “I’m a single mum with a 6-year-old and I’m a size 14. I love colour and would describe my style as joyful dressing.”).

Done. Although I had to specify the age of the children that don’t live in my house.

ChompandaGrazia · 08/05/2025 17:26

Oh and I’m a dumpy 50 year old.

Love Boden!

Yorkshirelass04 · 08/05/2025 17:51

I'm sorry but I have a shred of self respect left. I hate 70s curtain patterns and fox hunting.

strawberrymatcha · 09/05/2025 12:18

LittleDeeAndME · 28/05/2025 14:42

@MaddyMumsnet have you contacted the successful applicants yet ?

MaddyMumsnet · 29/05/2025 12:20

Hi everyone – just popping on with a quick update. 😊

Our Spring/Summer testers have now all been selected and contacted – thank you so much to everyone who applied! 💕

We are yet to select and contact our Autumn/Winter testers. So if you haven't heard from us, we’ll be reaching out to selected testers a little closer to the time, so do keep an eye on your email inboxes.

Thanks again for all your interest – we’re really excited about what’s coming up! 👗💙

Thanks for the update @MaddyMumsnet
I wasn’t picked this time- fingers crossed for the autumn 😁
Have fun those of you that got it - looking forward to seeing what you chose.

Ilostmyhalo · 24/11/2025 14:09

Just wanted to update this thread - I was chosen as an autumn/winter tester

Only half of my order was sent to me, a dress, jacket and one child's T shirt - and despite emails to the Mumsnet it does not look like I can give a good feedback - plus the link I was given to post my feedback does not work

'' Deadline: Please send your choices by end of the day, Thursday the 6th of November.
Once your outfits arrive, you’ll get to enjoy them, give feedback via a survey, and take part in campaign threads with the rest of the Insiders.
You should now have access to the private feedback Insider thread here so do join in with your fellow testers.
We’re so excited to see your picks and hear what you think of this season’s''

Any other mumsnetters disappointed with this experience - I am posting here because all of my emails to get an update on if the outstanding items would be despatched and the thread not working have not been answered.

Hi there @Ilostmyhalo thanks for taking part in our Boden campaign. We’re really sorry if you didn’t get everything you’d picked - we completely get that it’s frustrating. We hope you’re enjoying your new outfit, and thanks so much for your feedback.
