Enjoy! Mixed bag.

Ooh thanks. Agree it's a mixed bag. The dresses are disappointing, there's some shockers. Like some of the coats and knitwear though.

justanotherneighinparadise · 14/08/2020 22:11

Those clothes look very sad without anyone styling them.

The Zebra jumper Shock

Thank you, OP. Was wondering when it was coming.

Really disappointed with the dresses. Lack lustre colours (other than the odd nasty print) and too many high necklines. Hmph.

Coats are boring, too.

EmiIyStAubert · 14/08/2020 22:17

Agree about those dresses, the sweatshirt dresses particularly stand out.

The zebra jumper!!!!. Why is it blue??? The designer must have been smoking something strong....

Ikeameatballs · 14/08/2020 22:32

The velvet dresses look like they are designed for giant toddlers not actual adult wome.

Same with the coats! Quite fancy the Caroline cord dress in ruby ring tho!

Prices seemed to have crept up again...

The tweed minis are up to £90!!!! No way! And the colours are extremely disappointing anyway. I’ve got an impressive collection of these skirts from previous years to which a couple more are usually added each year. Looks like my money is definitely safe from Johnnie this season and this is from somebody who used to buy 90% of their clothes from Boden as recently as 3-5 years ago

Countmeout · 15/08/2020 06:45

I usually buy one of the children’s coats at some point, but this year they seem verrrrry expensive. Even with a discount.

Treehuggertastic · 15/08/2020 07:46

Where are v neck dresses for busty women! I can hardly buy any of the dresses that I can see, without looking like I have tits next to my waist. Annoying. Shirt dresses don’t look all that on me.

Fluffycloudland77 · 15/08/2020 08:03

I prefer clothes displayed like that, on Zara’s website the models are so contorted you can’t see what the clothes are like. Also they put white clothes on models with really pale skin & black tops on models with very dark skin & you can’t see them because there’s so little contrast.

Bonkers.

nahthanksimfine · 15/08/2020 08:12

Hideous the lot of it. This is why they haven't seen a penny from me for a good year or so.

ImperfectTents · 15/08/2020 08:41

Omg violet Elizabeth velvet party dresses for grown women and les Dawson frocks.

Oh dear. Boden is clearly continuing its theme of over priced clothes in garish colours and unflattering styles. I’ve bought some nice dresses from them in the last couple of years but sadly they’re taking their colour palette and styles to extremes.

Retailqueenie · 15/08/2020 11:15

Nothing of interest at all in that lot.. such a shame. boring, boring, boring.

PunkMudda · 15/08/2020 11:39

Yes! THIS.

I’m completely fed up of fashion over the last couple of years. High necklines and shapeless seems to be the current style, which doesn’t suit the busty among us. I thought Boden at least might offer us a few more classic, v-neck styles. Disappointed.

Musmerian · 15/08/2020 12:07

Me too. Need v or lower scooped necks. Also hate all these puffy sleeves. Anyone got good recommendations for online clothes for short booby people?

DisgruntledGuineaPig · 15/08/2020 12:55

@Tatapie - I like that cord dress as well, but it seems very over priced, if it was £65 before the discount I think I'd go for it, but the prices do seem high this year.

I'm in need of a new winter wool coat and am petite so Boden was on my "places to check that'll make something that fits me" but it's all a bit dull coatwise.

ChequerBoard · 15/08/2020 14:36

So pleased others have also noticed that all the necklines are straight across and far too high! Where are the v and scoop neck dresses??

Desperado40 · 15/08/2020 21:08

Very disappointed! I usually find a lot of things I really like in autumn/winter boden, but I hate this colour palette. Nothing to fall for, not even in kids section.

brakethree · 15/08/2020 21:13

Bloody hell, the dresses, especially the velvet ones, look like they've come straight out of the Republic of Gilead!

BrennieGirl · 15/08/2020 21:26

£110 seems very dear for a jersey dress.

The kids stuff is gorgeous though.
