If you’re planning a trip to Greece or one of its many charming islands this summer, chances are you’re looking for outfits that match the country’s iconic blue and white colour palette, inspired by the sun-bleached buildings scattered across its towns and coastlines.
While there are plenty of options to choose from that look like they came straight from the set of Mamma Mia, finding a piece that nails the style while providing enough coverage during the hottest days of the year can seem like no easy feat. That’s where Boden comes in, with the Octavia Cotton Dress.
Adorned with bright cobalt blue and ivory embroidery, featuring scroll and vine detailing akin to those seen on traditional Mediterranean tiles, Boden’s dress is a rather chic solution to dressing stylishly even when harmful UV rays are at play. Why? Well, it’s all down to the fact it’s crafted from comfortable, crisp cotton – a material that comes with natural moisture wicking properties, and is great at welcoming a cool breeze.
Like with most Boden pieces, the dress speaks for itself, making it especially easy to style – just pick your footwear. But, if that still isn’t enough to convince you, you may change your mind as the dress now comes with 15% off.
The Octavia’s appeal doesn’t stop there, though – the cotton dress comes in three other patterns at varied price points (all with 15% off). From a botanical style featuring orange and navy, to a striped version with floral detailing as part of the brand‘s Postcards from Jaipur collection, take a look at them below.
