Boden fans are loving a lightweight dress that's being praised as the "most beautiful" option for summer workwear – and right now it's available at a major discount.
The Kate Midi Shirt Dress usually retails at £125 but for a limited period Boden shoppers can grab it for a fraction of the price. As part of Boden's massive online summer clearance sale the Kate Midi Shirt Dress is now priced at £50, if you choose the Rich Emerald, Decorative Flora print.
It's even more affordable at £37.50 in the French Navy, London Town and Red, Polka Wave prints. However, these particular designs are selling out quickly, so act fast to avoid disappointment.
The Kate Midi Shirt Dress is available in seven striking designs and prints, all reduced from the original £125 price tag. It also comes in Petite, Regular and Long lengths, catering to sizes four to 22.
With its pointed collar and midi length, the Kate shirt dress has all the hallmarks of a classic. It's an effortless summer essential that pairs well with sandals and trainers, offering a flattering fit without clinging, for a light and airy look, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Its standout feature is the matching waist belt, which can be tied to accentuate and slim the waistline. Plus, it comes with practical side seam pockets for storing your essentials. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here
The Kate Midi Shirt Dress from Boden has garnered numerous radiant five-star reviews. Shoppers should note that it is reported to be rather short in length.
A delighted customer praised the Boden piece, remarking: "Beautiful dress, very classy and a great fit. Love the colours too!".
Another enthused with high praise: "Stunning! Really beautiful dress for work."
Echoing the sentiment, a third added: "I love this dress. Comfy, excellent quality and fit. Good for work or going out for lunch."
One review highlighted its material, saying: "Lovely crepe material. Classic style. Very Boden."
However, not all feedback was positive, as one buyer noted: "Although the Kate is a lovely dress, and the fabric was absolutely gorgeous, the shape didn't flatter me, so sadly I sent her back."
In contrast, an upbeat shopper shared: "Fun design, perfect fit . Lovely material that hangs well."

Is It Time To Give The Divisive Jeans A Second Chance?
As part of my job, I spend hours scrolling through websites, tracking what's trending and what people are adding to their baskets. One morning, I stopped in my tracks - there they were again: M&S was selling a pair of jeggings with 11,870 reviews, a 4.4-star rating, and 75% of shoppers recommending them, already running low in stock. Jeggings defined a particular moment in fashion history. Picture this: Spring 2010, they were the skinny-fit staple you wore with a Chloé Paddington slung over your arm and an Alexander McQueen scarf looped around your neck. But while they promised the stretch of leggings with the look of jeans, many fell out of love with them because they weren't as comfortable as we hoped, never mind the the endless adjusting and inevitable elastane fatigue. But the day we never thought would come has arrived, and, now, they've been reimagined. Today's versions are softer, more sculpting, and cut from fabrics that lift and flatter, with elasticated high waistbands for ease. One M&S reviewer summed it up simply, saying they had 'waited for these to come back into stock' and that they love 'the fit'. According to Megan, a stylist at Silkfred, the jegging's enduring appeal comes from 'comfort and ease of movement while still giving you the streamlined look of denim.' She describes them as 'polarising' because they sit in the 'in-between space of jeans and leggings' and can instantly conjure memories of the early 2010s - the era of over-styled club looks, heavy eyeliner, and dodgy digital camera snaps. Still, she pointed out that for anyone who loves the feel of leggings and wants skinny silhouettes back in their wardrobe, jeggings are 'an incredibly practical option.' On whether we're seeing a genuine revival, Megan links the resurgence to fashion's wider knack for anything nostalgic, saying that with retailers like M&S reintroducing them, more brands are leaning into the late-2000sand early 2010s aesthetic. She doesn't expect them to dominate denim trends - 'we never saw a jegging on the runway' - but said the rise of comfort-first dressing and body-contouring styles is helping them find their audience again. While Megan believes jeggings will always carry a nostalgic edge, they can be rendered a classic style if worn in minimal ways. Her advice? 'They can look timeless when styled in a minimal, elevated way. Perhaps a dark indigo wash or black jeggings with a crisp, oversized shirt, a blazer, and pointed flats. The key is keeping the rest of the outfit simple and avoiding the over-styled early-2010s look we remember from their first heyday.' In short, jeggings may never reclaim their 2010 peak, but in fashion, no trend is ever truly gone for good. 1. M&S, Ultra High Ankle Leather Jeggings 2. M&S, High Waisted Jeggings Indigo Mix 3.
