The Princess of Wales has been spotted countless times wearing the British high street brand Boden, from shirts to knitwear. Her favourite Boden staple is a pair of chocolate brown loafers, which she most recently wore in Southend-On-Sea, styling the shoes with a houndstooth MaxMara blazer and chocolate Joseph Coleman trousers.
Kate's go-to loafers
The £119 oxblood loafers were worn sockless, serving up plenty of smart styling inspiration. Holly Willoughby and Claudia Winkleman are also counted among Boden's fans. Boden's commitment to high-quality materials has endured for more than three decades, while its considered approach to fashion ensures timeless appeal.
The Princess of Wales wore the loafers during a visit to The Forward Trust in Southend-on-Sea on September 24, 2026, to mark Addiction Awareness Week.
Boden's autumn collection
Boden's new autumn collection embodies its founding ethos: colour and character. From playful argyle knits to corduroy co-ords, the pieces inject joy into your cold-weather wardrobe. The range includes shirts with dramatic neckties, fair isle sweaters, and corduroy blazer suits.
Standout pieces include the Boden Nya oxblood loafers, which feature a cut-out detail and scalloped trim and are available in six more colourways. Other highlights include a double-breasted trench with a classic camel exterior and flashes of tartan, a Jemma jacquard knit cardigan in a 'raw umber' argyle print, and a Clara tie neck shirt with a vintage-inspired pussy bow.
The Canonbury cord trousers come in bright orange, forest green, navy and pink, with a mid-rise waist and straight cut leg. The crew neck jacquard dress boasts argyle-inspired detailing and an A-line hem, while the Mae fair isle knitted jumper has a pink finish and chunky knit composition. The Cotswolds wool coat features a tonal colour palette of camel, pinks and purples, and the Hereford military cord jacket combines eighties influences with countryside apparel in oxblood, pink and gingerbread.
