Boden's autumn collection has arrived and these are the best items to buy now

With the end of summer fast approaching, now is the perfect time for a new season style overhaul. And shoppers will no doubt be earning compliments with Boden’s latest edit of autumn staples – the must-have pieces that’ll bring our existing wardrobes bang up to date.

First up, is the check trouser. Ditch the tailored shorts for these £99 statement bottoms. Ankle grazers aren’t going anywhere this autumn, and we love how perfectly they pair with the on-trend ballet flat. Boden’s Canonbury Tailored Trousers are a straight leg style.

Next, the cutesy fruit that's still holding ground in the fashion world. Embrace the cherry trend with this Natalie Embroidered Jumper - which is ideal for keeping us cosy as the weather cools. The relaxed crew neck number comes in at £129.

• Boden's 'perfect' summer dress shoppers say 'looks flattering on everyone'

Several shoppers have raved about Boden’s cherry knit, with one saying: “It's as adorable as you imagined. Just love the vibrant colour and look!” But someone else added: “Weird drop shoulders make this very unflattering. Shame as I thought it was bright and fun.”

Other fashion retailers offering the fun fruit print include River Island with its Cream Knitted Embroidered Strawberry Cardigan, which costs £46. Or, get the look in a more subtle way with House of CB’s Evelina cream cardigan from ASOS (£75). It’s the perfect antidote to grey skies and chilly mornings ahead.

The latest Boden jackets are perfect for standing out this season. We’re wearing this Chunky Chevron Knitted Jacket with wide-leg jeans as summer transitions into autumn. With its rainbow stripe pattern and straight shape, the £159 knit is already ‘selling like hot cakes’ - according to the brand’s website.

Finally, no autumn wardrobe is complete without berry shades. Boden’s latest range is full of the season’s hottest hue and its Anita Ponte Shirt Dress (£129) has been designed to ‘skim’ over the body’s natural curves.

One delighted reviewer said: “I have never received so many compliments about a dress before, as I have when wearing this one. It's very flattering. Makes my waist look more defined than it is and doesn't show any lumps or bumps - it seems to magically skim over them instead.”

However, someone else was less pleased, saying: “This was a lovely dress just not right for me as the material was thicker than I expected.”
