Boden has teamed up with Stripe & Stare for a joyful collection that makes everyday essentials feel special
The limited edition pieces are pretty and practical
We see so many fashion collaborations that sometimes it can be hard to know which ones are worth shopping. But when I spotted that British clothing brand Boden was teaming up with underwear experts Stripe & Stare, I knew this was one to get excited about.
If you haven't tried Stripe & Stare's insanely soft knickers, then seriously, where have you been? They're also the people behind some of the most comfortable bras I've ever worn, too.
Combine that with Boden's penchant for bright colours and bold prints, and the result is a little bit of joy every time you get dressed. Even if it's layered underneath your chunkiest autumn knits!
It's really good value, too. A four-pack of knickers for £50 might feel like a lot to spend on updating your undies drawer, but trust me when I say these wear and wash really well. You won't want to wear any others!
From colourful florals and striking stripes to adorable hearts, there's a print for everyone, and just in case you're very organised, I really do think the floral camisole would be a perfect Christmas gift for a friend who loves Boden. Thank me later.

If you fancy a little Friday treat, pop these in your shopping basket ASAP. In their many different colours and prints, these knickers have some fabulous reviews, including one customer who wrote: "These knickers are so beautifully soft and I adore the vibrant colours. I also love the fit and there is zero VPL under jeans and dresses. This brand is now the only underwear I will buy."
Stripe & Stare's signature TENCEL fabric is breathable and lightweight, so this strappy top is perfect for wearing with your pyjamas or as a layer underneath your best cashmere jumpers. The colour pop pink lace trim is a really nice touch, too.
What good is a camisole without the matching knickers? These are called wedgie-free wonders for a reason - trust me, they're pretty much the perfect knickers.
This is a light support bra, but it's got double straps for extra hold, and it's a really flattering cut. Stripe & Stare offers free delivery on orders over £40, so you might as well get the matching set, right? Girl maths!
These have got a 5 star rating from Stripe & Stare customers, so you know they're going to be good. The clash of colours is typical of Boden's bold aesthetic, and it's an affordable way to add a bit of the brand to your everyday look without splashing too much cash.
This printed plunge bra boasts a bit more coverage than the triangle style in the collection. It's got non-padded cups, as well as hook-and-eye fastenings. Stripe & Stare call it "a confidence-boosting magic trick for your chest".
Did you know that for every single order placed, Stripe & Stare plant a tree? So you really can feel good about looking good!
Sold individually, these knickers are £18, so it's well worth going for the £50 four pack. Buy two and then you've got a pair for every day of the week, plus a spare!
For anyone who prefers a higher rise, these have got your name written all over them. I find the coverage at the back very generous too.
The knickers are available in sizes XS (UK size 4-6) to 4X (UK size 20-22), but in my experience with Stripe & Stare, I like to size up for an extra comfortable fit.
Stripe & Stare have previously partnered with Rixo, Emma Bridgewater and LoveShackFancy, and like those collections, the Boden range is bound to be popular. It's available online on both the Boden and the Stripe & Stare websites, so shop now before everyone else does.
