The much-anticipated Boden sale is back and for a limited period, shoppers can grab summer dresses and early autumn pieces with up to 50% off. Almost 2,400 items are on offer, including summer essentials like linen tops and dresses in classic Boden patterns.
The high street retailer has also slashed the price of the Longline Linen Safari Shirt from £98 to £39.20. The Duchess was seen sporting the chambray blue version during her tour in Scotland's Inner Hebrides in April. From vibrant stripes to fun spots, the Boden sale provides shoppers with an opportunity to stock up on smart casual dresses, and we've selected three standout pieces that can be worn all year round.
Meanwhile, White Stuff is offering 20% off 'almost everything' online, with prices starting from just £20. Shoppers can find a range of past-season jackets and knitwear. Over at Crew Clothing, they've launched an up to 60% off clearance sale on summer clothing, reports Bristol Live.
Royal enthusiasts will surely recall that iconic dress Princess Kate wore when she took her children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - to school. The Rixo Izzy Dress sold out quickly, but there are plenty of brown polka dot dresses that echo the Royal look.
The Boden Yoke Panel Maxi Dress, currently discounted by £40 and priced at £59.40, offers a more laid-back take on the Duchess of Cambridge's shirt dress. The chic maxi style features flutter sleeves to address any upper arm worries, a bias-cut skirt to highlight curves, and practical pockets.
This is the dress that seamlessly transitions from daytime errands to evening wear. One satisfied customer left a five-star review, sharing: "Beautiful all around. The material is good soft jersey with a bit of stretch. It is really long at 1.80 m in length. I'm looking forward to wearing it in autumn."
However, another shopper was less than pleased: "This is the second I've had to return because the polka dots are pink, not white. It throws off the whole vibe of the dress and cheapens it. Boden, in the description, please note the colour of the polka dots to save both you and me the hassle."
Aside from brown, the dress is also available in emerald green.
Earning nearly perfect reviews from shoppers, the Christabel dress is praised as a stunning garment that 'skims the body' and 'fits like a dream'. It boasts a V-neckline that doesn't sit too low on the body, and balloon sleeves to accentuate the waist.
For those blessed with an hourglass figure, the tie belt can help emphasise the silhouette even more. Whilst the dress is cut to finish at mid-calf, some customers discovered it was rather lengthy. One buyer commented: "This dress is a lovely vibrant blue and white. I bought a 10 petite, which fits well with room to spare, as it does not have a zip.
"The length is slightly longer than I would normally wear. However, as the skirt is very generous, it balances out with the length. The cotton is lightweight but feels soft."
Another customer said: "If you're larger on the bust and hips, then it's unflattering. Waist falls from under the bust, making the belt just tie too high. You need to be slim for this dress."
The Tabitha frock ticks every box as a Boden staple - the colour blocking and polka dot accents plus a dress featuring pockets - it's the epitome of playful meets comfortable. The jersey number is made from 52% Tencel Modal and 48% cotton.
Cut to less than £50, the garment is ideal for daily wear, though customers can dress up the look when matched with kitten heels, making it appropriate for wedding invitations or post-work gatherings. The dress features a tiered skirt with side pockets and delicately frilled blouson sleeves.
It's available in petite and regular sizes, ranging from UK4 to UK10. One satisfied customer who purchased the dress in petite size shared: "They are clothes that actually fit and I don't have to cut off and hem them. The sleeves are just the right length, too. The quality of the material is good and they are well-made."
Another added: "Lovely fit and not too much material to swamp you. Gorgeous colour combination and received lots of comments when wearing the dress."
