These 10 deliciously chic pieces from Boden's colourful new collection will give your style an instant autumn lift

While we love rummaging the summer sales for last minute swimwear and suitcase essentials, we’re ready for some fashion freshness. Luckily for all of us autumn’s arrivals are now trickling in, and Boden is truly excelling itself - again!

Just like their dreamy summer dresses, ‘Cecily, ‘Christabel’, and ‘Alexa’, rated 10/10 by our Style Director, Boden’s first autumn drop is full of carefully designed items so gorgeous and uplifting, we had to share ten of them. Trust us, buying just one of them will be enough to give everything else you own - and, of course, you - a jolt of new season energy.

The collection is bursting with the signature charm, colour combinations and style details Boden does best, oh and lots of fantastic trousers - if there's one thing you need to buy for autumn, make it a fancy trouser - another area in which Boden is truly excelling.

In our edit you’ll find playful prints, bright checks and colourful stripes in an uplifting palette of pink, burgundy, and brown - shades which instantly say 'autumn 2025' and which look absolutely brilliant together .

We adore the kitsch cherry knit that will elevate any jean, trouser and nice top combination and the chunky chevron knitted jacket, designed in Boden's signature rainbow stripes. Our style director is all about the burgundy stripe high rise jeans, and mystic purple cord kick flares in our edit, while our fashion assistant Zara loves the chevron striped knit.

As for me? Their Cheltenham trench coat with a double-breasted front, waist- cinching belt and pockets, which comes in a bold fuchsia tartan I didn't know I needed - until now! Meanwhile, the versatile Clerkenwell reversible gilet in soft brown will look luxe layered over a denim shirt or lightweight knit.

In the mix you’ll also find a pleated floral shirt dress, it’s long sleeves will see you through into chilly season, the Valentina taffeta midi skirt, in a deep wisteria colour, and some very chic conversation-starting checked and striped trousers - the Canonbury check trouser even has a matching slingback shoe. Does it get better than that?

We know Boden’s prices don’t scream purse friendly to most, but at Good Housekeeping we advocate you shop smart for the season ahead. Buying quality over quantity and taking time to consider how your purchases will fit work with your existing wardrobe allows you to curate your personal style to be best it can be.
