Boden customers have been snapping up a pair of ‘light and airy’ trousers that are 50% off in the end-of-season sale.
The cropped trousers feature an elongating vertical blue-and-white striped pattern and are crafted from breathable 100% cotton fabric that’s ideal for warmer weather.
The wide-legged trousers finish just above the ankle in a flattering cut that pairs effortlessly with sandals, ballet pumps, or trainers. Featuring a relaxed loose-cut fit and a shirred elasticated waistband, they’re as functional as they are stylish. And it seems as though shoppers can’t get enough, with Boden claiming the style is “selling like hot cakes”.
The trousers come in UK sizes 6-22 and are also available in classic white at the same price. However, the pink, blue, navy, green, and black versions are slightly more expensive.
Boden customers have been praising the cropped trousers online. One purchaser said: “I am thrilled with these, light and airy, great for the warm weather and they fit perfectly. I love the waist band and they look really great on. I ordered my usual size 8 and a size 10 as insurance. The size 8 was perfect, I returned the size 10 and have ordered another pair in Navy.”
Another person remarked: “Perfect length just above my ankle. The waistband is soft and broad, elasticated for joyous comfort. The colour is a beautiful navy with a brightness that gives a definite blue. Crinkle fabric finish is so summery,” reports Yorkshire Live.
Whilst numerous reviewers adore the cropped trousers, some commented that they felt the waistband was quite tight. One shopper noted: “I have these trousers in three different colours. The elasticated waist is on the tight side but I don’t find them uncomfortable and I love the look and feel of them. They look smart and don’t crease. I would recommend.”
Another person commented that after reading the reviews about the waistband they had ordered a different size. They added: “Lovely summer trousers. Usually with Boden I’m size 10 but after reading reviews I sized up to a 12 and they’re a perfect fit. Have just ordered another colour.”
Boden has fully embraced the stripe design this season and the website features a number of bottom options, including the Dulwich linen full-length tousers, which are available in petite, regular and long, and in a summery ‘strawberry tart red stripe’. Now reduced to £72.00 down from £120, they’re a slightly smarter alternative to the cropped pair.
Other stripe trouser options include this pair from Topshop, which are straight leg and cropped with a mid-rise waist. Priced at £46, they’re available to buy exclusively from ASOS and come in sizes 6 to 18. If you’re in the market for something a little more relaxed, this wide-leg, full-length pair from New Look should tick a few boxes. Available in green, brown and black, the fabric has a crinkle texture so you’ll never have to worry about ironing. Priced at £29.99, they come in sizes 6 to 20.
