A go-to for fashionable finds, Boden – which is even beloved by the Princess of Wales – is among the best clothing brands on the British high street. When it comes to reliable staples, workwear pieces and elevated knitwear, Boden is the ultimate destination.

The label’s latest drop is all about injecting dopamine into your winter wardrobe – think soft pink or blue jumpers, checkered coats, colour block trousers, and bold tweed pieces. There’s also a commitment to luxurious materials throughout the collection, from textured cashmere jumpers to Italian wool outerwear.

Kate Middleton has worn Boden countless times at Royal engagements – be it a tailored coat, knitwear or accessories piece (all of which have immediately sold out), but its notable fan base also includes the likes of Claudia Winkleman and Holly Willoughby.

Boden’s appeal lies in its considered approach to design, favouring character over fleeting trends. If you are looking to refresh your wardrobe for the new year, Boden’s sale is worth a look – and the brand is currently offering 15 per cent off sitewide with the code “WA7R”.

Royal endorsement aside, this is a brand with broad appeal, and one of the few high street names that works just as well for my mum as it does for me. Here are my top sale picks.

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 comfortable, rounded toe. Wear with grey or white socks during the winter months before styling with floaty dresses in the spring.

Tartan kilts were the unexpected trend to emerge from London Fashion Week – and they’re far more wearable than you might think. This woollen number from Boden is designed with a pink and green check colour palette, featuring a high-rise waist and knee-grazing length (it’s helpfully available in petite, regular and tall lengths too). Lean into the punk feel with biker boots or dress down with ballet flats.

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 wouldn’t be surprised to see Kate making an appearance wearing this design – it’s the perfect balance between being fashion-forward and understated.

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 perfect thing to wrap up in this winter.

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’ll sell out fast – particularly given this mega saving.

Suede is everywhere this season – and this pair of chic brown boots is the perfect way to lean in. 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 lends them to everyday wear, the boots boast a timeless ankle grazing length.

Red trousers have cropped up 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’s argyle knit is an elevated everyday staple. The neutral classic print is brightened up by pink detailing, while the oversized silhouettes make 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.

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)

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 make sure to use code ‘D24M’ when you check out, or you won’t be able to take advantage of this 10 per cent discount.
