Cost : £ 35.1

Stripy Henley A lovely casual top with a tantalisingly long placket. Undo or do up the buttons according to weather, mood and effect desired.

Cost : £ 12.6

Cost : £ 31.5

Cotton Travel Suit Trouser However crumpled you may feel having been folded into a car/train/airline seat, your suit, thanks to its small but significant elastane content, will recover instantly and be on top form at that all-important meeting. So you can relax.

Ruffle Vest A quietly pretty top which will go with everything and looks particularly good with our more punchy printed and striped stuff.
Cost : £ 12.6

Cost : £ 22.5

Silk Trim V-neck Basic. Staple. Essential. This top is all of these and for that very reason we have lavished our attention on it to make sure that it is exactly right. Because, if your basics aren?t right, you?re going to get into all sorts of trouble.
Cost : £ 22.5

Linen V-neck Jumper The 100% linen-ness of this jumper gives it a drape like no other. And then there?s the coolness and texture associated with this quintessential summer fabric. Unbloomingbeatable.
Cost : £ 53.1

Silk Crinkle Skirt I have to admit to a twinge of jealousy that you get to wear a garment which looks better the more crinkled it is. Why can?t we men have a silk crinkle shirt? Actually, I think I know: we?d end up looking like Adam Ant.
Cost : £ 80.1

Cost : £ 53.1

Rugged Cargo Shorts Easy, tiger! Just because we called these ?rugged? on their introduction last year, there?s no need to get over-excited and buy out the whole place in days. I mean, they?re only a pair of shorts. Anyway, we?re ready for you this year.
Cost : £ 35.1

Cost : £ 14.4

Old School Shirt This shirt has become so popular that I can only conclude that you are either hopeless nostalgia junkies, or that you think, like me, that this is a shirt without equal in Casualdom.
Cost : £ 35.1

Printed A Line Skirt Not only are the prints outstanding, but so is the textured piqu? fabric onto which they are printed. And, as if that wasn?t enough to gladden the eye, there is the life-enhancing pleat at the front.
Cost : £ 58.5

Pull-ons If the term ?slacks? had not already been appropriated by gentlemen?s outfitters in the 60?s to denote a shiny pair of trousers made by Terence Lene, it would have done very nicely for our Pull-ons. But it doesn?t really matter, as you?re not wearing a na

Cost : £ 30.6

Short Sleeve Wrap Dress You leapt on, or into, this dress on its first outing last season, not wanting to miss out on its unique combination of pragmatism and sexiness. So here it is again, minimally adjusted for the summer.
Cost : £ 67.5

Italian Stallion Shirt A recent Brussels-sponsored survey turned received opinion on its head, when it revealed that British men are by far the best lovers in Europe. So I suppose wearing a shirt like this is hardly necessary. Better safe than sorry, though.
Cost : £ 49.5

Linen Drawstring Trousers These have got holiday written all over them. If you look really closely at the picture you should be able to see holiday, holiday, holiday. No? That?s odd, I?m sure the designer said they?d got holiday written all over them.
Cost : £ 49.5

Jewelled Dress I don?t know why, but this dress puts me in mind of the terminally cute, nose-twitching witch Elizabeth Montgomery, by whom I was enchanted back in the seventies. And now this dress is doing it all over again in a thoroughly modern way.
Cost : £ 130.5

Jersey Halterneck Dress Another sunsational offering from Boden?s department of meteorological optimism. But perhaps they?re all hoping to be taken to swanky hotspots abroad (the dress packs well).

Cost : £ 89.1

Silk Georgette Shell It is important to point out that while the fabric is sheer, this top is lined, so the final effect is one of translucence rather than transparency. And, of course, of extreme prettiness.

Silk Linen Slouchy Trouser A fabulous pair of trousers whose combination of cut, colour and composition makes them the ?must-have?, ?24/7?, ?instore?, ?don?t go there!?* trousers for the spring and summer. *Sorry, had to off-load a few horror-phrases.

Fifties Dress An enchanting shape in several stunning prints to suit all tastes (I hope).
Cost : £ 21.6

Printed Towel Glorious prints to make your corner of beach (foreign or our own) a riot of colour as well as bodies, buckets and balls.
Cost : £ 16.2

Spotty Knitted Shirt Even by our standards this shirt is versatilissimo. It is going to work as well with jeans as with a posh skirt and will be equally comfortable on its own as with a camisole underneath.
Cost : £ 44.1

Halterneck Top A classic summer style with something called a ?hidden shelf ?. I?m told this is a highly attractive and desirable feature, which might also come in handy for shop-lifting, if you are that way inclined. I hope not.
Cost : £ 13.5

Vintage Cargos Shhhh! These are so secret even the pockets do up in a secret way. Plus they?re washed with totally secret ingredients so they look authentically worn, rather than brand new.
Cost : £ 23.4

Sailing Trousers Little did I think when I set up this company that I would be party to the invention of a labour-saving device to rival the washing machine. I refer, of course, to the little button to hold up your trouser leg once you have rolled it up. Genius!
Cost : £ 40.5

Silk Knitted Shirt No-one likes to feel redundant. But that, dear customer, is how I feel commenting on this shirt. You already know that its timeless charm, simple elegance and sublime comfort make it indispensable, so why do I bother?

Cost : £ 35.1

Applique T-shirt Charming, bright images carefully stitched onto top quality jersey. Perfect for a day out at the zoo, or Sunday lunch with grandparents, or just the shops. A spoiling present.

Cost : £ 44.1

Ruffle Trim Vest I have heard much talk of PPP?s recently during the boring bits of the news. Although I?m not entirely clear what?s newsworthy about them as the idea is not a new one ? the Pretty Practical Purchase.
Cost : £ 17.1

Cricket Shirt It has been said that cricket is ?a game which the English, not being a spiritual people, have invented to give themselves some conception of eternity.? I?m not sure about that, but our new cricket kit does have an air of timelessness about it.
Cost : £ 35.1

Deck Shorts ?What?s good enough for Tony Curtis is more than amply sufficient for me,? as my old Dad used to say. And, although we didn?t see eye to eye on everything, on this we were united.
Cost : £ 31.5

Retro Cropped Trousers Here?s an irony, if ever there was one: these trousers are retro by name, but really quite what my mother would call ?with-it? by nature. It seems that, Janus-like, they look both to the past and the future.
Cost : £ 49.5

Long Tie Back Skirt With such a descriptive title there?s little left for me to say. Although I should point out the popular fluted shape and the printed band inside the waist and hem before I move on. I see you in this on a warm evening in, hmmm, Morocco?
Cost : £ 49.5

Hotchpotch Vest One of my favourites this season. Beautifully finished, easy to wear. Throw it on over jeans everyday or dress it up with a plain skirt for a summer party.
Cost : £ 12.6

Printed Neat Jacket This is a beautiful and exuberant jacket to be worn for all summer celebrations, with or without the matching skirt.
Cost : £ 112.5

Cost : £ 76.5

Floaty Dress Summer parties in the garden or any smartish occasion. If you?re not (yet) invited to any, have one. Have several. Have fun in this dress
Cost : £ 23.4

Long Linen Gypsy Dress We have simply taken last year?s popular Gypsy dress and added some length at the hem and a ruffle at the neck. So, if you liked it last year, there?s even more to like this time round.
Cost : £ 62.1

Cotton Skirt A perennially popular and effortlessly flattering skirt, which has become a springtime fixture. Three fabulous new prints with which to thrill yourself and impress your friends.

Turn-up Summer Trousers Picture yourself, probably not ?in a boat on a river?, as those Beatles instructed, but on a stroll in ? to name but one European city which could reflect the timeless elegance of these trousers ? Vienna.
Cost : £ 67.5

Swing Jacket That is not ?swing? as in clefs dans le cendrier. It is more fifties than swinging sixties. The sort of jacket you might dream of finding among your mother?s cast-offs from the heady days of her youth, but never do.
Cost : £ 139.5

Vintage Print T-shirt Girls do love to huddle round puppies and kittens saying ?Ahhhhhhh?. A picture will do, if there are no actual small furry animals available.
Cost : £ 12.6

Linen Cotton Jeans Whether you?re in Montauk, Montenegro or Montmartre this summer, there is no point in wearing jean jeans once it?s hot. But these, on the other hand, well that?s another story.
Cost : £ 49.5

Cost : £ 40.5

Linen Drawstring Trousers Most trousers have structure, which means that, if you?re not careful, you can spend your whole life belted, braced, buttoned and zipped up. And that can?t be a good thing.
Cost : £ 44.1

Side Zip Cropped Stretch T If you are after the sleeker, less fussy look which the side zip creates. Effortlessly good looking and endlessly versatile.
Cost : £ 49.5

Jersey Pedal Pushers Light, comfortable and casual but still a classic (which means it gets grown out of, or handed on, before it goes out of favour).
Cost : £ 12.6

Petticoat Skirt Girlish, twirlish, giveitawhirlish. Perennially popular, pretty skirt.
Cost : £ 16.2

Girly Cardigan Useful, not to say indispensable, this cardigan. We?ve chosen the colours to complement all our light summer dresses, come the cool evenings. Non-itch, naturally.
Cost : £ 23.4

S/sleeve Plain Linen Shirt I am, as you?d expect of a recent convert, something of a zealot when it comes to this shirt. I am happy to say that I am of the age when it simply looks better on me than the homely T-shirt, for anything but the most casual of activities.
Cost : £ 35.1

Bandanna Bikini The spirit of 1950s prettiness has inspired this stunning bikini.
Cost : £ 14.4

Fancy Button Cardigan And when we say ?fancy?, we mean ?fancy?. The buttons on this cardigan are deco?engraved? mother of pearl buttons. And, by the way, the cardigan itself is made from a ridiculously soft blend of yarns.
Cost : £ 44.1

Pointelle Pull-ons The obvious companion to the other garments on this page. Perfect for when you want to cover up, when the heating or your self confidence have broken down.

Cost : £ 13.5

Denim & Drill Cropped Trs ?Denim - check? ?Drill - check? ?Essentials for your spring wardrobe - over and out?
Cost : £ 40.5

Silk Knitted Polo This is a style which has particularly caught my eye this season. In name it?s a polo, but in fact it is a truly elegant, not to mention sexy, top. As you would expect in something made from spun silk.
Cost : £ 62.1

Printed Baggies We can?t seem to make enough of these. Classically girlish, which means they?re fresh as can be. Plus comfortable to wear. And very pretty to boot.

Cost : £ 26.1

Stonewashed Logo T-shirt The best layers, of which this is one, are comfortable underneath but look great when you peel off whatever?s on top. Graphics which boys will enjoy showing off.

Cost : £ 19.8

Cost : £ 18.0

Cost : £ 23.4

Cost : £ 58.5

Surf T-shirt The best T-shirts are the ones you?ve washed a million times and which have a faded, friendly look and feel. When they finally fall apart, these are the next best.
Cost : £ 12.6

Indoor Pull-ons Another irresistible range of Pull-ons in which you can satisfy your apparently insatiable desire for lounging about. Come home, pull on and chill out.
Cost : £ 31.5

Slouchy V-neck Top This is not the sort of V which you would find at the neck of a schoolboy. If young Splashington-Pumpworthy had turned up in something so louche, he would have received six of the very best. But fortunately the rules do not apply to you.
Cost : £ 49.5

Printed Swimming Shorts Spectacular prints guaranteed to set off your pecs and quads and abs and igs and ums and ers and all the other bits of that glorious edifice which is your body.
Cost : £ 31.5

L/sleeve Check Linen Shirt Just one look is all it will take to impress on you the fact that you would be a damn, silly fool to start spring without at least one of these. On the other hand, I suppose you could just stay at work for the next six months. Then there would be no need.
Cost : £ 49.5

Stretch Cord Bootleg Jeans Last season I suggested that these were the sine qua non, pardon my Latin, of any smart woman?s wardrobe. Simple, versatile, practical and very easy on the eye.
Cost : £ 44.1

Printed Towel Beautiful towels to cheer up a beach on a dreary day or even enliven a bog-standard bath.
Cost : £ 16.2

Wool Travel Suit Trousers The slightly smarter older sibling of the Cotton Travel Suit. This suit has no elastane content, but its ?high twist? yarn gives it equally good recovery. A uniquely well-made and comfortable suit.

Stonewashed Half Zip Throw these at your boys as they stream out of doors, up and down the country. Bold new print and stripes.
Cost : £ 18.0

Stretch Poplin Shirt Four stunning stripy stripes to liven up the workplace. If you had two or three of these and two or three pairs of our trousers, you would have the potential for seven hundred and eighty six different outfits. I think I?ve got the sums right.
Cost : £ 40.5

Applique Skirt Another triumph from the design department. This looks sweet on little girls but has a fashionably individualistic appeal which older girls really enjoy.
Cost : £ 18.0

Boden Trench Find me a trench where they wear coats like this and I will dig in forever. Notice, among its many other delights, the stripy lining to match the Stretch Poplin Shirt. Geddit?
Cost : £ 108.0

Cost : £ 18.0

Portrait Neck Jacket A beautifully tailored jacket which will be equally at home with jeans or a smart skirt, and the like of which I bet that Jackie Onassis wore when she was out rich man hunting.
Cost : £ 121.5

Printed Laundered Shirt There are myriad reasons why this shirt deserves a place in your holiday suitcase. But since space is limited, I?ll stick to just two of them: the prints and the fact that you can ?unpack ?n? wear?.
Cost : £ 40.5

New Sailor Trousers Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of suntan lotion! A fabulous pair of trousers in which to take your suntan for a walk. A uniquely flattering and comfortable fit and with double button pockets for maximum authenticity

Panel Surf Shorts Older boys, we have found, prefer slightly longer swimming shorts. Straightforward swimwear in great colours.

Cost : £ 44.1

New Chino Shorts A pair of shorts of classic simplicity such as you?d be hard put to find in two months of Tuesdays. In these you can stride out of the garden or off the beach and into town.
Cost : £ 31.5

Baby Cord Slouchy Trousers If you took a baby?s bottom in one hand and these trousers in the other, I doubt whether you?d be able to tell the difference softness-wise. You do, I hope, get my drift.

Cost : £ 40.5

Cost : £ 58.5

Silk Frill Cardigan Here?s my advice to anyone who enjoys matchmaking their single friends: STOP! Concentrate instead on the felicitous match made between this cardigan and the Crinkle Silk Cami. They have so much in common!

Cost : £ 22.5

Cargo Shorts Hand-me-down chic without the musty smell or the hours of wading through other people?s old clothes to find the one wearable pair of shorts. Great colours and excellent pockets.
Cost : £ 18.0

Drill Baggies Fresh and lovely. Everyday trousers for horsing about, which is even more fun with a pony, but still perfectly possible without, especially if you have a younger brother.

Funky Jeans Trousers for all the fun bits in your life. Flamboyant prints on a shape to match.
Cost : £ 23.4

Special Cardigan This cardigan really is special. Its trim and detail elevate it to the rank of ?remarkable?, but it is the silk lining which justifies ?special?. Notice how I have avoided going down the ?and you?re special too? avenue. Who needs flattery?

Towelling Skirt Towelling?s great, stretchy and absorbent, for storming ?round the garden, hanging upside down at the park or exploring the beach.

Cricket Trousers If you?re like me, then your choice of cricket trousers is between an uncomfortably snug pair last worn in your late teens when you were closing the batting for the 3rd XI, and, worse still, a pair of cream nylon track pants so beloved of today?s professi

Cost : £ 53.1

Surf Hoody Usefully warm and generously cut with an authentically laid-back feel, thanks to lots of really great detailing and finishing from our design team.
Cost : £ 21.6

Stripy Keyhole Top Keyholes have traditionally been used by butlers for voyeurism and by the rest of us for gaining access. But we have used the keyhole to add an attractive feature to this already very fetching top.
Cost : £ 26.1

Cropped Jersey Pyjamas I predict an outbreak of pirate pillow fights and general hilarity. I know, it?s not exactly the approved build up to a good night?s sleep, but great fun.
Cost : £ 18.0

Boatneck T-shirt Pull it on after school to bring the adventurous spirit of life on the water rolling into your corner of the world. A very flattering style.
Cost : £ 12.6

Classic Half Zip Although I appreciate that you spend half of your lives in these, we have garment washed them this year to give that lived-in look even before they get to you. Thoughtful, eh?
Cost : £ 40.5

Short Woven Pyjamas Our woven pyjamas last. Stella, our youngest, regularly wears little sprigged numbers that both her older sisters have been through. Truly great value.
Cost : £ 21.6

Pigment Dyed N/cord Jeans If my spring wardrobe were a table, then these would be two of the four legs which would support it. Unbeatable in colour and texture and, despite being comfortably lightweight, guaranteed never to wobble.
Cost : £ 40.5

Stonewashed Polo Some of us do like a collar. So here are some collars, with shirts attached, in washed-out colours which make me think of summer holidays and an easy life.
Cost : £ 14.4

Ruffle Trim T-shirt An unusual but attractive combination of nautical stripes plus a very feminine floral ruffle. They?re just right. I like these a lot.
Cost : £ 14.4

Funky Coat Its gentle A-line and luxury cloth give this coat swing. And it is a swing which you can either employ as part of a wedding outfit or to add a bit of sass to jeans.
Cost : £ 157.5

Halterneck Dress The best of all possible worlds. Lovely, pretty dress. Nostalgic without being prissily traditional. And, above all, well-made to withstand all the action of the park, beach or back garden.
Cost : £ 21.6

Squire Shirt There are still plenty of occasions in our laissez-may-faire world when a modicum of decorum is required. And for them this shirt will prove indispensable ? to smarten up your jeans or soften your jacket.
Cost : £ 40.5

Towelling Overhead An essential beach garment, especially in the Isles of Britain where only the most optimistic go to the beach without a windbreak. And like the windbreak, it comes in some eye-catching designs.
Cost : £ 40.5
