Meet the check coat everyone’s loving – seriously, some sizes are already gone

Colourful checks are totally a vibe right now, and the Edinburgh Swing Coat ticks all our boxes. Boden has totally blown us away with this pick and has moved away from traditional tweed and herringbone to give way to playful checks. It’s got everything you want in a hero coat. A classic British silhouette, colours that spark joy on grey days, and a fit roomy enough to wear your chunkiest knitwear underneath. Unsurprisingly, it’s flying off the virtual shelves.

Red, green and blue intersect to create a pattern that looks instantly elevated but still works with your jeans-and-boots uniform. Not only is the swing shape coat flattering (thanks to the a-line silhouette), but there's room for layers underneath. It's bound to look good on literally anyone, in any weather. It’s the kind of shape you can throw over everything: mini skirts, midi dresses, or wide-leg trousers and loafers.

Fabric-wise, it’s a quality wool blend with a full lining. It's cosy without being bulky, making it ideal for the British autumn (or anywhere that swings from sunshine to drizzle). The pockets are functional, too. We also love that Boden offers petite and regular lengths, which is a game-changer if you’ve ever struggled with coats sitting too long or too short.

Styling ideas are endless, we believe. You could pair it with chunky cream knits and knee-high boots for a retro vibe, or throw it over your fave dark dress. Even better, pick up one of the colours from the check for accessories. Think: a burgundy beret, navy satchel bag, green scarf. The coat does the heavy lifting. It looks chic left open, but you can belt it for a cinched waist moment if you’re feeling experimental.

And because it’s Boden, this isn’t just a coat for Instagram. It’s practical enough for commuting, countryside strolls or weekend getaways. It'll last forever. We're convinced.

The Edinburgh Swing Coat is more than an outer layer: it’s a full outfit upgrade. Bold checks, a flattering swing cut and British-style credentials, Boden’s new coat has all the vibes we need this season. Snap it up while your size’s still in stock, and prepare to see heads turn every time you leave the house...
