Omg. These are craghopper dupes. Space for your map
Haha, snorted at that Grin
Mystraightenersarebroken · 06/04/2021 20:12

The Richmond shorts were the only good thing about Boden ☹️

I used to love the Bude shorts, super reliable.

Reliable in what way? They stay up?

OverByYer · 06/04/2021 20:40

Snort @Thebestposter!
I haven’t bought anything from Boden in ages. M&S shorts are actually nicer

dannydyerismydad · 06/04/2021 20:44

Whilst I'm a fan of the Richmond shorts, I also really like the paper bag shorts - especially with slightly wobblier thighs post lockdown.

Lol. I loooove the richmondos. Sausages AND shorts
Fashio · 06/04/2021 20:47

I quite like their plain white t shirts too.

Arket also good.

A good quality for a short. That and holding Kendal mint cake
Fashio · 06/04/2021 20:51

I am fashio.
Look upon me, ye mighty and despair. Etc etc.

CovidCorvid · 06/04/2021 20:54

The problem is frumpy fashion is ok when you’re a slim young thing...bang on trend this year!

But if you’re older or larger you just look frumpy, not fashionable. Clothes seem dire this year.

Knee length shorts and little house on the prairie dresses.

Fashio · 06/04/2021 20:56

I agree. I’m making you Boss Around Here

Sittinonthesand · 06/04/2021 20:58

Looks like my —so-faded-they-are-pink—navy Boden shorts from circa 2005 will have to do another year after all. It’s just a bit of a faff having to poke my extra fat under the waistband with my fingers. And I can’t sit down in them.
But, as my grandmother used to say (or not), we have to suffer for fashio.

SarahBellam · 06/04/2021 21:00

Boden clothes just look like you’ve given up and gone to live on a farm.

Fashio · 06/04/2021 21:02

Maybe. But not RICHMOND

Sittinonthesand · 06/04/2021 21:03

Sarah - that’s Joules surely? I’d like to think Boden is more for the aspirational smallholder or town refusenik.

SarahBellam · 06/04/2021 21:08

@Sittinonthesand Fair point, well made.

IndecentFeminist · 06/04/2021 22:15

Reliable like...seemed to go with everything, wash well, super comfy, relatively smart for work. 😁

IndecentFeminist · 06/04/2021 22:16

All hail Fashio.

noblegreenk · 06/04/2021 22:23

@Thebestposter

I want hot sexy ones. Not ones that look like I’m off to a fucking tea plantation in Darjeeling
🤣🤣🤣
CovidCorvid · 06/04/2021 22:35

How about these ? Are they fashio enough? They are similar to Richmond.

Fashio · 06/04/2021 22:41

Oh they’re my kind of fashio. Yes.
