Boden's 'surprisingly light' luxury £240 coat that 'cinches waist' cut to £84
"I love this coat. It is surprisingly light to wear and very flattering, with the belt cinching in your waist."
Those who are savvy to seasonal clothing sales will know that summer, while a chance to freshen up your lightweight wardrobe, also means that a lot of winter stock will see some serious discounts. And Boden has slashed the price of a 'very flattering' coat that's worth picking up now and storing for when winter inevitably comes back around.
The retailer's Blanket Stitch Wrap Coat in alpine green is usually priced at £240 but is now available for £84. The coat is crafted from a plush wool blend but is fully lined, meaning it's perfect for those who are particularly sensitive to natural fibres.
It has a semi-fitted shape with a length that finishes below the knee, great for bundling up warm in low temperatures. The coat is finished off with a shawl collar and is shaped with a belt, offering a flattering silhouette that also cocoons you to keep out any chill.
The pockets are fully functional, with the tack needing to be removed upon arrival.

Product Description
If there's more room in your budget, Karen Millen has reduced the Manteco Wool Military Midaxi Coat in forest green by 60 per cent, now £192 down from £479. It features a full skirt and military-style button details, making it an ideal choice to layer over dresses for winter weddings or other special occasions, reports Manchester Evening News.
A more budget-friendly option is Roman's Khaki Longline Single Breasted Coat, available for £85. Made from a comfortable woven fabric, the coat features a classic coat shape, long sleeves, and side welt pockets.
Boden's Blanket Stitch Wrap Coat has racked up an overall star-rating of 4.3 out of five based on almost 30 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "This coats fits perfectly. The belt pulls it in round your waist, giving the coat a lovely flattering shape. The colour is bright and cheerful."
A second wrote: "I love this coat. It is surprisingly light to wear and very flattering, with the belt cinching in your waist. The beautiful rich green colour makes you feel like you are wearing something special, and will continue to do so for many years to come. Purchased in the sale, fantastic value for a fantastic coat."
"Stunning," somebody else said. "This is a beautiful coat and an absolute steal in the clearance sale. I bought the green. It's a lovely colour and looks so good with cream shoes or boots.
"Some coats are so heavy, but this feels comfortable all day long. The unfussy neckline is great for a larger bust and can be worn up or rolled back as a shawl collar, to suit whatever you're wearing underneath. Perfect."
One shopper said the Blanket Stitch Wrap Coat looked "like a bathrobe' and gave it a three-star review. "Not for me," another mentioned. "Didn't suit me, looked like a dressing gown."
Somebody else loved their latest Boden purchase, however, adding: "I absolutely love this coat. The first day I wore it no less than five different people unsolicited complimented me on it throughout the day. None of them overheard each other, and prompted me to ask my husband if he had encouraged these strangers to do so (because he knew how much I love it), but he swore he hadn't."
The coat can be purchased here.

Lightweight, flattering and perfect for packing, FatFace's bestselling linen dress is a must-have this summer and it even has pockets If you're on the hunt for the perfect throw-on-and-go summer dress, FatFace might just have nailed it. Their Binny Linen Mini Dress, priced at £62, is getting plenty of love from shoppers for its flattering shape, easy-breezy fabric, and versatility, making it the ideal addition to your summer wardrobe, whether you're jetting off on a tropical holiday or enjoying the sunshine closer to home. Made from breathable linen, the mini dress is designed to keep you cool on even the hottest days. Linen has moisture-wicking properties and a natural breathability that means you can stay dry and airy. The square neckline gives it a flattering, structured feel, that smartens the linen fabric up just that little bit. While the mini length and relaxed fit make it easy to style up or down. If you're heading to a relaxed brunch, exploring a coastal town or just having a chilled weekend with your family, it's a summer staple you'll reach for again and again. And the standout design feature? Pockets - because yes, we all love a dress with them. They're functional and hidden, and allow you to go hands-free, while keeping all your essentials with you. Add to that a timeless button-down front and a light, airy feel, and you've got a dress that feels like the perfect combination of polished and effortless. It's the kind of dress that looks just as good with sandals and a straw bag as it does layered with heeled mules and a denim jacket for cooler evenings. Shoppers have praised this linen dress for being the perfect holiday dress. One shopper wrote: "Super linen dress. Great for daywear on holiday. Love it". And a second added: "Looks great on." As of yet, there are no negative reviews.

Boden cuts £61 off 'simply stunning' summer midi dress ahead of UK heatwave
Get ready for warm summer weather with the massive Boden sale. Parts of the UK are set to be hit by another mini heatwave next week. With temperatures reportedly soaring to 27C, many of us will be planning days outside. That possibly means updating the wardrobe for summer. Fortunately, fashion retailer Boden is running a massive sale across new season must-haves in time for sunny weather and balmy weekends. One item that has caught our eye is the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress that has been dropped from £136 to £74.80, saving shoppers over £61 off the RRP. Hailed as "simply stunning", we think it's perfect for summer weddings, BBQ's and picnics in the park. Crafted from a flowy, breathable material, this midi dress features a fit-and-flare design and a tie-belt at the waist that offers a "flattering" effect on the body. Meanwhile, its "super-swishable skirt" adds a touch movement and drama to the overall look. The all-over multi-coloured means it is a statement wardrobe item, while a few other sought-after features include handy side pockets, alongside full lining to ensure it doesn't look too sheer or see-through. Boden's Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress £136 £74.80 Boden Buy here Product Description Designed in petite and regular lengthways, the Bria Midi Dress is available to buy in sizes four through to 20, although Boden has advised it is "one to watch", meaning it's pretty popular with shoppers. Prefer longer sleeves? Then we have spotted this equally vibrant Wh ite Tropical Print Puff Sleeve Midi Dress over at New Look for a touch cheaper at £36.99. For something a touch more muted, yet no less stylish, there is this Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Summer Dress for £49 from Next that is available in three other colours. For the fashion fans keen to take advantage of Boden's discount on the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, it's worth knowing that shoppers have been hailing it in reviews as "simply stunning" and "extremely comfortable." One five-star review read: "This dress is simply stunning. I am five foot 2 and the regular length falls just right for me. It's extremely comfortable, the print is bright and it fits perfectly. This may be the best dress I have ever had. Fashion deal of the week In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices. Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon. With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis. The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet. Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air". Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway. With the STQ Trainers posing the cheapest price-tag, shoppers might be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.4 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that suggest they are "light as a feather" and "really comfortable". One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these." Purchase the STQ Women's Slip On Trainers from £30.99 on Amazon here. Thank you Boden for not making it too low cut and for proper sleeves! I can't fault it- the fabric is gorgeous and I am going to wear it for my graduation at UCL in May." A second eager fan wrote: "This dress is beautiful! It's well made and super colorful. It's a perfect dress for either a casual or dressy event in the summer. I love it!" Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

When it arrived and I tried it on it felt so lovely to wear and so flattering and it has pockets. Can't wait to wear this on my next cruise." Not everyone found the dress suited their style, as one shopper said: "The colours and print on this dress are very vibrant and beautiful, the quality feels good, and it could be worn with accessories in a wide range of colours. "However, although the dress fitted me, it did not suit me at all, but made my hips look big, and gave me a very 'matronly' look, which was not good. Sadly, I have returned the dress." Although, another shopper said in return: "Classy! Love the fit and the fabric! True to size." here.

Ranvir Singh's ‘gorgeous' GMB midi dress is under £50 from this affordable brand
Ranvir Singh wowed viewers in a gorgeous under £50 floral midi, and it's the perfect dress for summer weddings, garden parties, and more Ranvir Singh's latest Good Morning Britain look caught the attention of viewers with her latest look that brought a fun pop of colour to the room. The best part? It's from high street favourite Lipsy at Next and comes in at under £50, making it a chic and affordable addition to your summer wardrobe. Hailing from Lipsy, this Red Short Sleeve Gathered Waist Underbust Midi Dress is priced at £49. Keeping the look simple, Ranvir teamed this midi with a pair of simple nude court heels and minimalist jewellery. The slight puff sleeves add a floaty, feminine feel, while the gathered waist and keyhole neckline create a flattering silhouette that suits all shapes. The dress is also designed with comfort in mind, with a breathable fabric and a classic midi length that works beautifully with heels or sandals. Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or want something easy yet polished for a sunny weekend outing, this under-£50 find ticks all the right boxes. Not to mention that the classic floral print gives it a timeless, sophisticated edge, which makes it ideal for summer weddings, garden parties or the races. While the coral/red colourway gives it that trendy feel, considering red is one of the biggest colours of the season. Ranvir's not the only British celeb who's been nailing summer dressing recently, and more particularly, summer dresses. Alison Hammond's recent This Morning was praised by viewers, who loved the bold print and chic silhouette. The exact midi is from Karen Millen and features a classic shirt silhouette, which is ideal for summer days when you want to keep cool while still looking put together. Actress Emily Atack is another whose summer style we've been loving. Emily recently praised Boden as the perfect place to shop if you've got bigger boobs. And the Paloma Jersey Maxi Dress, priced £98, is one of her current go-tos. The fit-and-flare shape is super flattering (especially if you've got a bigger bust), and the best part? It has pockets, so you can keep all your essentials secure without the need to bring a bag. Thanks to the ladies of our TVs who have provided us with some serious warm-weather dressing inspiration over the past week.
