Boden recently unveiled a new collection of romantic apparel capturing the "cottagecore" aesthetic that's become increasingly popular, especially after the release of Taylor Swifts new 'Folklore' album. The series takes inspiration for traditional Western farm life with simple silhouettes and floral-themed designs.
Notably, Boden offers the Kemsley Merino Sweater, a collared shirt that boasts feminine detailing with gathered sleeves that deliver subtle definition. The Holly Puff Sleeve Jersey Top, on the other hand, features a crew-neck and semi-fitted shape with pleated cuffs for a casual yet sophisticated look. Lastly, the Lavinia Jersey Wrap Dress offers a classically feminine silhouette with a bold floral pattern that evokes a sophisticated rural appearance.
