Boden’s embroidered utility jacket is perfect for summer

Boden fans have been eyeing a summer jacket that promises to add a splash of colour to any wardrobe. The new arrival is currently available with a 15% discount, offering shoppers a tidy saving of £24.

The Boden Embroidered Utility Jacket in Forget Me Not Blue Fine Stripe has become a hit on the website. Originally priced at £160, customers can now purchase it for £136 using the code PQ4D.

This collared jacket offers both practicality and style, featuring vibrant embroidered designs guaranteed to turn heads. The jacket is adorned with embroidery patches ranging from tropical fruits to sea life parties and plants, designed to instantly lift the wearer’s mood. It also boasts four functional pockets – a feature more commonly found in men’s jackets than women’s.

The online stock caters to all sizes, ranging from UK6 to UK22, and has already won over many fans. One satisfied customer shared: “I bought the navy version and am so thrilled with it – one of my best Boden buys for a while.

“I’m 14/16 with a large chest and the 14 fits well with a little bit of wiggle room and is super flattering.” Another added: “The embroidery detail is gorgeous.

“I’m glad it’s a fairly straight shape with no silly puff sleeves nor balloon cuffs. The material is warm but it’s not a heavy canvas and ideal for spring, summer or autumn. I’ve had several compliments already and only worn it a few times. Thanks Boden.” 

One satisfied customer left a five-star review, enthusing: “Nice jacket – the colourful embroidery is very attractive.” Another consumer concurred about the jacket’s appeal but mentioned a minor drawback, stating “the only negative point” was that “some of the buttons were difficult to open”, this is worth noting for anyone who prefers more accessible clothing.

The shopper elaborated: “But have to say it’s a perfect buy for summer. Very boxy style so sizing down is a must. Versatile to possibly wear as a shirt it’s definitely one to make you smile.”

Looking beyond the Boden jacket, the Cotton Utility Jacket from Next offers a subtle military vibe, featuring a funnel neck that shields against gusty winds, available for £44. So far, shoppers have rated this jacket five stars, and it comes in three colour ways, pink, khaki camo and khaki green.

For another alternative, Pepe Jeans’ Navy Embroidered Flowers Jacket, priced at £125, exudes elegance with a linen blend fabric. It comes with button fastening at the front and side patch pockets topped with flaps. 

In addition to this design, Boden has other variations, including the Woodland Green and Navy options, each adorned with embroidered detailing on the collar and cuffs.
