Why everyone's talking about this Boden coat

Quintessentially British brand Boden has a bit of a cult following - which includes Kate Middleton FYI - so whenever it drops a limited edition collection, people go a bit crazy for it.

Case in point, the Boden 10 edit, which launched yesterday. Essentially, it's a must-have curation of the 10 styles you need for spring.

From classic suiting with a contemporary twist to essential knits, a wear everywhere jumpsuit and versatile dress shapes, the capsule has got your new season sorted, but there is one piece in particular that has got everyone's attention.

The classic trench with contrast stripes and statement Union Jack lining is the ideal trans-seasonal trench coat, and has been going down a treat on Instagram.

Since Boden posted it on its page, it's gotten over a 1,000 likes and 52 comments, ranging from 'this coat makes me weak at the knees' to 'this is so stunning, love it'.

So all in all, pretty positive. I love the fun twist on an otherwise classic item, and at £160, it's definitely an investment piece you'll wear season after season.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
