    This is a fun addition. I am either a 6 or an 8 in Boden shirts and ordered both. I ended up keeping the size 6. This is a little less fitted than some of the other button ups. The yellow check is peppy!

    where are the patterns of yesteryear?

          I have purchased these shirts annually for the past three years, and they are the backbone of my work wardrobe. I've loved the colorful, interesting prints, and always can't wait to see what the new season will bring. This year, however, though I tried to love even one of these prints, the magic just wasn't there. I forced myself to order the seafoam gingham, but when it arrived, it was just too boring to keep. I was pleased to see the contrast detail of the cuffs and button placket, absent from last year's offerings, has returned, but I'm not wild about the pocket, which makes the shirt less dressy. I do wish Boden would widen the upper arm of these shirts, and reinforce the button plackets (mine quickly develop a faded crease mark after just a few rounds through the wash). Please, Boden, bring back the spicy prints I love you for, and this shirt will once again be the first thing I order from you.

            Aaah! Now THIS is a great shirt! Nice lightweight material that stays crisp and neat, even in the desert heat! I have paired this one up with the weekender jeans and found my new summer mainstay! I frequently must go from my day job to my nighttime profession in the entertainment biz, so versatility is a MUST with me! A lightweight Boden jacket is all that is needed to take this shirt from casual daywear to sophisticated style! I always FEEL great wearing Boden clothes! This one is slightly fitted and hangs enough to tuck in-or not! I am large busted and find no binding or discomfort. The details on the cuffs and collars are what really sells me! Classy! I will order more soon!

            Super cute shirt...goes well with blazers...slightly see through, but that makes it a little sexy. It's pretty wrinkly at the end of the day, but still love it!

              I love this shirt! I bought the white with blue polka dots- looks great tucked into a skirt, or with jeans. It is a little on the thin side, which isn't at all bad, but I wear with a thin tank top under.

                This is a great, bright shirt that I plan on wearing with jeans and pencil skirts. I love the cuff and collar floral detail. The only thing I might change on this shirt is I'd make it just a little longer - as it comes untucked easily. Otherwise great addition.

                  I love this shirt. It is great for casual wear with a dark or light denim and espadrilles.

                  Really cute, goes from running errands and going to lunch with friends.

                  Great weekend shirt!!

                    I just love this shirt. It's buttery color brightens up my day. Love the contrasting navy polka dots. There's also some navy stitching down the button placate. Can't say enough about the appearance. The fit is real good too. Wish the hem were more even for out-of-pants wear. However, I'll wear it out anyway.

                      The material is the same light cotton that last year's bright flower printed tunics came in, and I loved those! I expect I will be wearing this one just as often. Perfect right now under a sweater and will be perfect in NYC summers :)
