While I can't deny how happy I am to see lighter evenings and British temperatures creeping above 15°C (this week we're set to see highs of 19°C), the main reason I love spring is the sheer number of dresses that begin to drop at my favourite high street stores. While I do appreciate the simplicity of some of the more pared-back midis and maxis at the likes of M&S and Next, I also love adding a touch of kitsch to my frock collection - particularly as we move into the summer months.
Luckily, Boden exists - the British brand known for its dedication to designing bold, playful dresses in a range of prints and colours. Lately, I’ve been especially impressed by the swishy staples on the website - not forgetting a particularly unique chambray dress with embroidered detailing.
Yet it’s the brand’s newest drop, Postcards From Jaipur, that has all the fashionable women talking, and it’s all thanks to the glorious dresses included in the collection.
Inspired by the Pink City, the newest collection (also known as the brand’s holiday edit) is brimming with patterns and colour, featuring midi and maxi dresses in floral prints with intricate embroidered detailing.
Capturing the bold charm of the historic Johari Bazaar, the collection is a love letter to the vibrant culture of Rajasthan, and each dress will brighten up your wardrobe in an instant. The best part? Plenty of the styles are airy enough for summer, yet still come with long sleeves.
I've found the top seven dresses as part of their unique collection below - a selection you'll struggle to say no to.
