Just received this, possibly the most boring collection of garments in one place that I've ever seen! I'm 53 (and a Nan) and this stuff is wayyyyy to mumsy for me!! What's going on, Johnnie?

I thought that too for most of the range. The tops are awful.

The classics like the jackets and coats are lovely though.

i agree. And the prices are really high even with discount codes.
I recycled it!

iWILLdothis · 15/08/2012 13:12

I agree about the winter preview stuff, but there's lots of the autumn stuff I'd love.

I do wonder how much he'd sell if he halved the prices. I find it extortionate, but I do like the odd thing.

Fucking hell. There are other shops.

Yes AlaskaNebraska, but presently Boden is under discussion!

I was torn, half of it was fugly - the other half cheap & nasty fabrics.

I don't mind paying a lot for clothes, I do mind paying 120 quid for nylon!

Going to go against the grain and say that I was quite impressed. Dresses frumptastic (and in sweaty fabrics) but I really like the seam detail trousers and those suede ankle boots. Lots of nice autumny colours too.

I have just returned FOUR dresses to Boden: cable knit dress, Hannah dress, Laura dress and pretty stitch dress. I tried all of them on for dh and he wasn't wowed by any of them. Either shapeless or too old for me. Thanks dh for making me see the light - Boden dresses are really frumpy.

Effortless suede boots on the other hand - gorgeous!

MrsRyanLochte · 15/08/2012 20:10

Dancergirl What would you say the sizing of the boots is like and what colour did you get?

AlaskaNebraska · 15/08/2012 20:59

I like the seqyin belt. the fair isle scarf.

Their trousers never fit.
Skirts are frumpy

Love knitwear for smart casual workplace

Dancergirl · 15/08/2012 21:19

I got the black- I love them - can be worn with leggings/skinnies or dresses with tights.

The sizing seems spot on, I went for my usual size and they were fine.

MrsRyanLochte · 15/08/2012 21:42

Lovely, thank you Smile
