The one benefit to shorter, colder days? Our Autumn/Winter wardrobes—particularly when an occasion calls for partywear pieces. The brand team Marie Claire are sourcing ours from this season? Boden, where shimmering metallics, leopard-print separates, bow accents and diamond buckles are in no short supply. Plus, in a bid to be more planet-friendly, the brand hasn’t used a single sequin in any of its pieces since 2021. Clever, hey?
Instead, the polished-meets-joyful aesthetic Boden is best known for is channelled through luxurious fabrics—velvet, lace and metallics aplenty—bold colours (keep an eye out for the rich plum shades this season), and chic cuts. All of which come together to create pieces crafted to the highest degree, a key trait Boden prides itself on.
On the menu this season? Jacquard leopard-print midi skirts, perfectly chic with a black roll-neck for the office or dressed up with a silk shirt for elevated evenings. Velvet blazers in a number of vibrant shades. A faux-fur cuff cardigan that will liven up even the simplest of looks. And of course, the everyday staples: black wide-leg trousers, modern jumpsuits and classic LBDs.
So, whether you’re searching for your next statement party piece or just a small addition to weave into your current wardrobe, rest assured you’ll find it at Boden. And, excitingly, you can save 15% on the new-in section now with discount code WXVK.

For those after a 'wear anywhere' piece, consider this jumpsuit your easiest go-to. Gold-tone heels, ballet flats and ankle boots can transform it for any occasion.
Boden's 100% silk shirts are a real fan-favourite for good reason—classic yet contemporary, especially when in the brand's famous prints.
A full velvet suit is especially chic, particularly when in a gorgeous green shade that works for party season and beyond.
There's always room for another LBD in any wardrobe and this velvet mini is an excellent pick for Autumn/Winter. Style with tights and boots for a more relaxed look or slip on a pair of patent pumps for the evening.
Now, everyone needs a great pair of heels in their shoe rotation—and these platform Mary Janes could very well be them. Coming in at just under four inches (with a 0.7-inch platform), they’ll add height without too much arch ache.
Boden also stocks a beautiful range of accessories alongside its clothing collection. These green-toned earrings will liven up even the simplest of looks.
