The summer sales are officially underway and we’ve not been disappointed so far – from the giant John Lewis event across tech, fashion and more, to Zara offering up to 50 per cent off its lines.

Now, fashion label Boden – a favourite of Kate Middleton – has launched a huge sale with offers across women’s, men’s, children’s and baby clothing.

The savings span more than 1,500 pieces, so whether you’re after a floaty summer dress, a new shirt, sandals or a statement knit, there’s no better time to browse the site.

To save you endless scrolling and help refine your shopping list, we’ve scoured through the discounts to bring you an edit of some of the best pieces to purchase right now.

One item in particular that caught our eye is a previously sold-out blue cardigan worn by the Duchess herself. Kate’s blue knit is currently half price, but we predict a sell-out (again), so you better be quick.
