For an influencer, I don’t shop very much. For a normal person, I shop quite a lot. But so much of what I order gets inspected, tried on and then mailed back from whence it came. So when something shows up to the house and survives the never-ending cycle of returns, I want to talk about it.
Lately, I’ve been looking for dresses that I can do both. Dresses that are comfortable enough that you don’t feel silly wearing them in your home office, but nice enough that you can also wear them to the office. This jersey shirt dress from Boden with a wide belt is such a dress.
The material is soft, comfortable and easy to wear. The style is relaxed, yet polished. The wide belt gives it some structure and life. And the color selection — black, navy, and three bold prints — is on point. I bought the black, and I like the brown dotted option enough, I may buy it in the long style and hem it.
This dress is a fantastic Friday dress. It looks chic on a Zoom call. It feels like a comfy nightgown, but doesn’t look like it. And the first time I wore it, I realized immediately how awesome it would be for work travel. It’s a winner.
Boden has so many great jersey dresses right now. I also scooped up this brightly striped knit dress, but it’s been too warm to wear it yet.

I love the look of this dress (and Boden in general), but I find that tied fabric belts like this end up getting weirdly bunched/looking a bit sloppy on me. Do you have a rec for a more structured buckle belt that could be worn with it? Thanks!
This one with a simple buckle seems nice. https://go.shopmy.us/p-7152913
Thank you!
Boden is one of my go to, hardest working clothes stores. The pieces are a bit more expensive, but the quality outshines most everyplace else I shop. I have jersey dresses that have been worn & washed for years that still look brand new. Plus, I almost always get a complement on their prints.
I second this! I have a Boden Ottoman dress I’ve been wearing to the office for about 8 years. Still looks great.
Love that! Have a work conference this fall and could see wearing that for long days in a convention center.
