What is Boden sizing like?

I like these trousers. I'm normally a between a size 10 & size 12.

What, in your experience, is their sizing like?

Thanks!

I've got my eye on those too! It really varies - I have a pair of black old style Roma trousers that I wear to death and they are a pleasingly loose 12 but then I have a pair of the new ones and they are much neater. I have been as many as three sizes from Boden at the same time but that's not unique to them. I would advise a 10 I think. [just showing my working!]

OuterFromOutersville · 26/04/2014 17:46

I think I'd say a 10 in trousers too.

rookiemater · 26/04/2014 17:48

Boden sizes can sometime be quite random. I have bought trousers in one size that fitted only to buy them in a different colour which were a completely different fit.
I'm a 14 on the bottom half in most places - M&S, White Stuff, Phase 8 and Mint velvet and find that the 14 generally fits ok.

WhoNickedMyName · 26/04/2014 17:49

I'd say go for the 10. I have these in an 8 and I'd say they are ever so slightly on the larger side, rather than true to size.

Thank you, I will order a 10.

They have 15% off everything at the minute so I may get them this weekend.

The onsite reviews are normally pretty helpful with this sort of question. I was also a 10-12 for a while (now definitely a 12!) and back then I used to find that anything wide-legged came up bigger, so I'd get a 10, anything with a narrow leg I'd get a 12.
Haven't bought any trousers from them lately though.

AlpacaYourThings · 26/04/2014 17:56

I've had a look but there are over 200 reviews to wade through. The first few that I read were contradicting each other.

Ginormous. Def go for the 10.

AlpacaYourThings · 26/04/2014 18:24

Right, bought the 10R in black (5 week delay [sob]) and the blue floral ones as well.

For future reference, they summarise the reviews at the top. So for those trousers, 9 people said they were too loose at the waist, 21 people said they were too tight, and the rest said they were true to size.

Do you have a discount code...? DH lobs my Boden catalogues out when they arrive Hmm. Keeps the Bravissimo ones though Grin

AlpacaYourThings · 26/04/2014 19:18

I know Grin. It was on the coffee table when I got home yesterday!

The discount code that comes up on my checkout is just free delivery Confused

RubyReins · 26/04/2014 19:29

Incidentally the Pepperberry catalogue that came with the Bravissimo catalogue was similarly lobbed! Crap stuff in there though.

jumpinghoops · 26/04/2014 20:03

Oh :( I'd say I was a 10-12, normally always a 10 in Boden trousers and just had these delivered today and they're too small.

MsFiremanSam · 26/04/2014 21:06

Y264 should get you 22% off with free delivery and returns :)

LaCerbiatta · 26/04/2014 21:11

I ordered several trousers from Boden recently - they all fitted except for the Chelseas which were too small - sorry!

LaCerbiatta · 26/04/2014 21:11

Sorry meant to say ordered several size 10 trousers.

RubyReins · 26/04/2014 21:23

FiremanSam mwah!

AlpacaYourThings · 27/04/2014 10:20

Sorry, Ruby just seen your message. I see you have a better discount code now anyway Envy

Damn, I've ordered the size 10 now. I think they will be too small I will have to go on a diet
