What do you think of the new Boden winter arrivals?

I'm toying with the animal print top and colour block tunic. The rest of it looks a bit disappointing though.

I'm also going to try colour block tunic, I think. And perhaps the Milano dress in the new dark blue version. Interested to know if anyone has a Milano dress from autumn?

Otherwise, I agree pretty uninspiring.

i think their prices have become shocking, £119 for a blouse! have had a gift voucher from them in the post but am struggling to find something to spend it on, there was a scarf i liked but the only colourway to be out of stock was the one i wanted.

Some things are, others are more reasonable. I only buy with at least 15% discount. Their jersey tops are good quality and not too expensive.

I'm not overly impressed.

I love shift dresses like this but the dot pattern is horrible and it's not available in plain. Boo!

I've got the animal print top. It's OK.

I like these mini skirts - nice and short. Most Boden minis are in fact knww length or longer!

knEE

Totally agree frances nice dress but those dots are just too Boden!

Anathema, are you keeping the top? I ordered it in blue but won't be able to get a sense of it for a while because I am 33 weeks pg

I like the look of the animal print top too. There is a skirt priced over £100!

I can't bring myself to look.

NOTHING
they sent me a voucher and couldnt find anything I liked

Does anyone else think the sizing has changed too? It used to be really roomy now everything I buy there gets sent back because it's too tight

Greenstone yeah, I think so. I do quite like it - just worry a bit about how well it will wash / last as is mostly lyocell and quite a slinky fabric and I am a chuck-everything-in-at-40 slapdash washer.

It looks nice on though

Yes the material has cheapened and the cuts are meaner.

I have come to the conclusion that it is trading on being part of a club rather than having any real items of style. They have the gaudy patterns and trims that shout Boden so they are immediately identifiable- even the plainer bits are obviously so.

Most of their clothes add pounds rather than flatter.

When you look at stuff like Mint Velvet and Wrap (who are hardly cutting edge) you can see how fusty they are.

If you have that sort of budget for clothes there is much better out there.

Absolute rubbish all of it

I think it's very kind of Johnny to put out a dull collection the winter I'm pregnant and can't wear any of it. what's with the head to toe plaid?

Can someone pls remind me, is it the Chelsea or the Bistro trousers that work best for pears? Thinking about the full length versions rather than the crops.

I love the Claudia coat but can't justify it at that eye-watering price! And am now wondering whether it might look a bit dressing gown!

Thx for the code. I've just used it in my first ever Boden purchase.

Is this the start of the slippery slope

oh you pissers just made me go on and order stuff

I pre ordered the flat t bar shoes in navy and aubergine, they look nice and reviews are generally good. I also got two pairs of bistro trousers with the 20% off. I love these trousers in plain colours along with the Chelsea crops.

I've got the flat t-bars in aubergine and love them. Just for work though, I don't walk far in them.

I don't like any of it. Boden has gone really downhill lately. This is the first year I haven't brought anything.
