When it comes to Stripes, I have to break all my own fashion rules, I know I shouldn't wear them, but I love them just a little bit too much!
The Breton is lightweight enough to wear alone when the days are a bit on the muggy side and no sunshine is evident, and will layer perfectly under a chunky cardigan or knit come Autumn.
I understand that there was an article in the Sunday Times regarding Boden and its quality but I haven't read it. I have bought nightwear and swimshorts for my 11 year old son from the Brand for many years and have always been pleased with my purchases. The Breton is no different, I am happy with the fabric and the finish on the garment. I just need to order the candy stripe one now......
Did anybody read the Sunday Times article? If so please let me know what you thought and what was being said about the brand, especially as this is my first but hopefully not my last "grown up" purchase!
I love stripes too...I didn't read the Sunday Times article but I think the brand is fab ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by, lovely to hear from you.

I love my breton too. I think the quality is good. the cotton is fairly lightweight but robust and I have already washed and tumble dried mine at least half a dozen times with no ill effects. I buy a fair bit from Boden and have always been happy with the quality. That's kidswear and women's wear. My husband says the men's clothes are too girlie for him!
ReplyDeleteI've never bought adult clothing from Boden but I have to say that I've bought quite a lot for my boys which has passed down from one to the other and still has lots of wear left in it. Definitely the best brand for durability.
ReplyDeleteoooh I'm wearing my uber old stripy breton top....never lets you down and keeps you warm!!
ReplyDeleteI have the candy stripe one it is fab xx
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can possibly add any more stripes to my wardrobe but I do like the candy one! Have a great week:)

I love Boden when they get it right. I just picked up a white linen shirt in the charity shop with the Boden label still on.
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the article and buy a lot from Boden. However, their sizing has become so unpredictable these days. I spend a fortune sending things back from Spain. And I have read quite a lot of negative reviews lately. It seems ever since Johnnie Boden expanded into America, quality etc has decreased. I must say quality has decreased from about 7 years ago when I first bought from them.
ReplyDeleteThe candy one caught my eye when I was browsing as well but I didn't buy. Like you I love stripes but I must impose a ban on myself as I found another two stripy jumpers today which brings my grand total of stripy jumpers to 11 so far. I need to stop.
ReplyDeleteI love a good stripe. Read the article which was more about their so called yummy mummy following wanting a different image and how next seasons collection reflects that. Less about quality issues.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly the very beautiful one. I love the black and white stripes. Boden Breton is such a nice when it comes to shirts.
