Top picks from Boden’s summer collection that Princess Kate would love

Boden’s late-summer collection has just dropped – and it’s full of mood-boosting pieces that Princess Kate would surely approve of, with dresses, skirts and jackets available. What’s more, shoppers can now get 15% off the brand’s full-price items with the code ‘GD7X’.

Among the pieces we think the Princess of Wales would love is this Elizabeth Bow Knitted Jacket in the colour warm ivory, which can be snapped up for £118.15, down from £139, with the code. It also comes in three other colours, sizes four to 22, and it features gold buttons, a chic collar and pockets with a contrast trim. Boden says it has the ‘power to transform any outfit and act as a cosy shield against the elements’.

There’s also the Collarless Wool Blend Blazer for £186.15, down from £219, and it comes in a pink dogtooth print. Catherine has been spotted wearing the same pattern at several royal engagements. This outfit comes in petite and regular fits, sizes four to 22, and it has a has a fitted shape with a peplum hem for a ‘sleek retro feel’.

To match the blazer, there’s the Wool Blend A-Line Skirt for £109.65, down from £129, with the code. This comes in sizes four to 22, has an A-line shape, and it’s made with a cosy wool blend. It is also fully lined, so there will be no snagging on tights, and Boden recommends pairing it with loafers and bare legs now or knee-high boots in the colder months.

Finally, there’s the Maeve Occasion Shirt Dress for £186.15, down from £219, which comes in petite, regular and long fits and sizes four to 22. This features a bold floral print and it has a flattering midi length and fabric belt.

As an alternative, the Yumi Boho Print Reversible Cotton Quilted Jacket is reduced to £42 from £60. This one is available in sizes eight to 16, and features two charming floral designs – one on the outside, and one on the inside – for versatile styling.

Debenhams also has the Wallis Summer Floral Western Shirt Dress for £28 down from £70. It’s only in stock in sizes 14 and 16, but features a pretty floral design on a cream background with a collared neckline and a bow detail on the waist.

While there are currently no reviews for the jacket, blazer or dress, shoppers have left their thoughts on the Wool Blend A-Line Skirt. One said: “Amazing quality skirt, so looking forward to wearing it this winter. Purchased size 12, my usual size with Boden, it’s a great fit. Bargain price in the sale, very pleased with my high-quality item.”

Another wrote: “Gorgeous skirt, lovely pattern, just what I needed for a knee-length fun winter weight skirt.” While this person added: “Fits exactly as said and a lovely warm winter skirt.”

Others left some feedback, with one saying: “The fabric is beautiful and, if the shape would suit me, I would have kept the skirt. If the pockets weren’t there, it would have been perfect for me. I am 5’9 and it was a good mini length on me, just like on the photo.”

Another said as part of a longer review: “I ordered the skirt and matching jacket and they are great; beyond magnificent. Sadly, although the model is 5ft 11ins and I am 5ft 5ins, the skirt is not just short – it’s a mini. There is no choice of skirt lengths, so I will have to return both items or sport a thigh length pelmet.”
