Is Boden worth it?

[Greenpeanutsnail]

I’m trying to look more polished. I’ve seen some nice t-shirts in Boden. They are more than I normally spend on t-shirts. Are Boden clothes generally worth paying more for them? For context, I currently wear t-shirts from Next. Sorry if this seems a stupid question: I’m really not knowledgable about clothes or style!

The T shirts are ok, some nice colours and the quality is probably better than Next.
I used to buy a lot from Boden but prices have gone up and up and a lot of the stuff really isn't worth it at all, anything I hve bought recently hs been in the sale or with 30% off

Not as much so as they used to be. I think the quality has dropped in the last 10 years or so.
That said, they’re still better than a lot of high street brands. Buy second hand, hardly-worn from Vinted and save a fortune.

I’d look at the materials, I’d say probably not as I think quality has fallen a lot recently. All saints, Arket, M&S or seasalt might be better but really look at the composition and look for a decent amount of natural fibres and a classic fit.

Thank you very much. That’s interesting to know. I don’t mind paying more if it’s worth it! The tops I’m looking at are 50% cotton and 50% tencel. I will have a look at Vinred and the other brands suggested, thank you.

They used to be good but the price does not match the
quality. M&S autograph range tee shirts are good quality. Me and Em is good too. Ceefinn had a massive sale on as it’s closing.

Some Boden stuff is fab quality (knitwear, jeans, coats, some tops) but other items I have found a bit thin and flimsy in recent years. Never buy full price- you can usually get a code for at least 15% off. It’s free returns and their refunds are super quick so it’s worth buying and returning if you aren’t happy with the material/fit.

I never pay full price for Boden these days because the quality is just not what it used to be.

M and S autograph is better quality for far less than Boden.

It's very hit and miss. I only buy it in a sale anyway, because it isn't worth full-price, and I send back 2/3 of what I order. Their sizing can be a bit odd too which adds to my return rate.

Their good stuff is nice quality and nice colours. But those bits are in the minority.
