This is Kate Middleton’s Go-To High Street Brand – And It’s Perfect for Office Wear
From cashmere jumpers to statement winter coats, complete your capsule wardrobe with Boden, the British high street favourite beloved by royalty and celebrities alike.
Royal Endorsement and Broad Appeal
A go-to for fashionable finds, Boden – which is even cherished by the Princess of Wales – stands among the premier clothing brands on the British high street. When it comes to reliable staples, sophisticated workwear pieces, and elevated knitwear, Boden represents the ultimate destination for quality and style. The label’s latest collection focuses on injecting dopamine into your winter wardrobe, featuring soft pink or blue jumpers, checkered coats, colour block trousers, and bold tweed pieces.
There is also a steadfast commitment to luxurious materials throughout the entire range, from textured cashmere jumpers to Italian wool outerwear. Kate Middleton has worn Boden countless times at Royal engagements, whether it be a tailored coat, knitwear, or accessories piece, all of which have typically sold out immediately. Its notable fan base extends to include prominent figures like Claudia Winkleman and Holly Willoughby, showcasing its widespread popularity.
Boden’s enduring appeal lies in its considered approach to design, favouring character and timelessness over fleeting trends. If you are looking to refresh your wardrobe for the new year, Boden’s sale is certainly worth exploring, with the brand currently offering 15 per cent off sitewide using the code WA7R. Beyond royal endorsement, this is a brand with broad appeal, and one of the few high street names that works equally well across generations, from mothers to daughters.
Top Sale Picks from Boden
Here are my top selections from Boden’s sale to enhance your winter wardrobe.
Boden Tartan Ballet Flats
Finished in an on-trend tartan-style print, these ballet flats will add instant intrigue to any outfit. Reduced by more than 50 per cent, the pumps boast a Mary Jane-style elasticated strap and a comfortable, rounded toe. Wear them with grey or white socks during the winter months before styling with floaty dresses in the spring.
Boden Helen Wool Kilt Skirt
Tartan kilts emerged as the unexpected trend from London Fashion Week, and they are far more wearable than you might imagine. This woollen number from Boden features a pink and green check colour palette, with a high-rise waist and knee-grazing length. It is helpfully available in petite, regular, and tall lengths. Lean into the punk feel with biker boots or dress it down with ballet flats.
Boden Cable Knit Tank
Every wardrobe can benefit from a layering piece like this cable knit vest. Whether styled over a crisp white or striped shirt, worn over a T-shirt, or thrown over a dress, the tank is a versatile staple. I would not be surprised to see Kate Middleton making an appearance wearing this design, as it strikes the perfect balance between being fashion-forward and understated.
Boden Cocoon Wool Coat
Your search for the perfect statement winter coat is over. Boden’s wool coat is finished in a vintage-inspired teal, brown, and pink checkered pattern. Characterised by its sweeping long length and double-breasted silhouette, the design features a double lining and functional pockets. It looks like the ideal garment to wrap up in this winter.
Boden Contrast Sole Mule Slipper
Boden’s mule style shoes secured a spot in our writer Emma Henderson’s review of the best women’s slippers. These slippers are a fun riff on a cork-style clog and I love the sturdy sole, which is made from pink rubber with a slight undulating texture, she said. Noting their excellent quality and great fit, Emma predicted they will sell out quickly, especially given this significant saving.
Boden Suede Kitten Heel Boots
Suede is everywhere this season, and this pair of chic brown boots is the perfect way to embrace the trend. Whether poking out of wide-leg jeans or styled with tights and a mini dress, the pointed toe gives them an air of elegance. Complete with a small kitten heel that makes them suitable for everyday wear, the boots boast a timeless ankle-grazing length.
Boden Kensington Wide Leg Trousers
Red trousers have emerged as a microtrend this season, but both the shade and wide leg silhouette of this Boden pair make them a timeless investment. Available in regular and long lengths, the trousers are crafted from cotton with a mid-rise waist and smart pleating down the front.
Boden Quinn Boyfriend Cardigan
Boden’s argyle knit is an elevated everyday staple. The neutral classic print is brightened up by pink detailing, while the oversized silhouette makes it perfect for layering. Complete with a flattering V-neckline and button-down front, the cardigan is sure to be a hard-working addition to your wardrobe.
Boden Stitch Detail Wide Leg Jeans
Reduced by 25 per cent, this pair of indigo wide-leg jeans is a staple for your winter wardrobe. The stitch detailing gives them a vintage feel, while the dark denim wash elevates them beyond your average pair of jeans. Available in petite, regular, and long lengths, the jeans boast a flattering high waist.
Boden Lucy Half Zip Jumper
Boden’s quarter zip-up style is one of its most recognisable silhouettes. Offering plenty of versatility when it comes to styling, the jumper can be worn as a sleek turtleneck or with a wide spread collar. The design is classically Boden, with a red and pink striped finish that adds some joyous shades to your winter wardrobe. Just ensure to use code D24M at checkout to take advantage of this 10 per cent discount.
Complete your winter wardrobe with one of the best cashmere jumpers, and embrace the timeless elegance that Boden offers, inspired by royal style and designed for everyday sophistication.
