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."
