Boden is offering fashion fans a variety of gorgeous spring/summer wardrobe staples this season, with the Denim Quilted Gilet being the latest to impress shoppers. One buyer has declared the garment the ‘dream waistcoat’, and it’s easy to see why. The mid-wash blue gilet is ideal for layering over tops, blouses and dresses when the weather is a little chilly. 

Boden has given the garment a quilted design ‘for extra warmth’ and offers a ‘regular easy shape that’s not too tight’. Priced at £98, the 100% cotton Denim Quilted Gilet comes in sizes six to 22 and is fully lined with button fastenings. It’s designed to fall to the upper thigh and can be gently machine washed.

The waistcoat has ‘roomy’ pockets perfect for keeping essentials close by. It’s worth noting that these arrive tacked closed to help the garment hold its shape, but are designed to be removed. 

Nobody’s Child is selling a similar Blue Denim Frill Waistcoat that’s currently on sale for £79. It’s also a stylish mid-wash blue colour and has vintage-style buttons, but unlike the Boden garment it has ruffled shoulders. 

Elsewhere, Damson Madder has slashed the price of its Denim Tilly Gilet from £85 to £42.50. It has a quilted design similar to Boden’s waistcoat, however it has two tie fastenings and no buttons.

Dozens of shoppers have already snapped up Boden’s Denim Quilted Gilet, with it boasting an impressive 4.5 star-rating. One delighted customer wrote: “What a dream waistcoat. Beautiful denim colour, lovely soft fabric. I sized down as it looked quite boxy – I’m usually a size 14, but 12 fits perfectly. Will be great for all seasons.”

“Useful gilet,” wrote a second happy buyer. “Bought my usual size. Fits well. Love it. Casual but smart, can dress up or down.”

A third said: “Lovely item. Light but warm. Good fit/usual size. Great to pop on for that extra bit of warmth. Worn it most days since receiving it.”

Sadly one Boden shopper wasn’t satisfied with the gilet, as they explained: “Lovely quality fabric and construction, but the boxy fit let it down. So disappointed, but the fit was only acceptable when worn loose.”

Someone else agreed, as they commented: “Very generous sizing so have returned this… a pity as it could be very useful on a chilly spring/summer day.”

However, a glowing five-star review reads: “A versatile wardrobe addition. I can imagine wearing this quite a lot throughout the spring and summer, thus justifying the rather steep price.”
