      Comments about Boden Women Lightweight Summer Cardigan:

      I asked for a white cardigan for my birthday in June and, how lucky was I, as I got one of these! I have worn it everywhere since and had so many compliments it is untrue ~ who would have thought so many people would notice a simple white cardi?
      Garment is well made, well finished and comfortable. Linen content is brilliant. Have worn with jeans and to my friends summer wedding and does not disappoint.
      Please can we have more next year :)

        Bought this in Azure and love the vibrant colour. Great for the summer. The fabric feels soft against my skin and the shape is good, hanging well and covering the tummy area. Delighted with it.

          Comments about Boden Women Lightweight Summer Cardigan:

          Ordered this cardi for my daughter, who was looking for this shape and fit. Both she and I were impressed when it arrived. the fit is perfect, and it drapes beautifully. I'm a big fan of linen, so the linen content is a bonus. Lovely detailing in the design - cuffs, seams, buttons, everything's had a special treatment. haven't tried washing it yet, but so far, it's great. Considering to get one as well in my size before they're all gone.

          Comments about Boden Women Lightweight Summer Cardigan:

          i ordered two . the gorgeous pink and the brown. i kept the pink - because of colour - and am returning the brown. the style is like a boyfriend cardigan that is too short. also i noticed that it wrinkles far too easily. i like the seams being shown on the outside and adore the pink colour. but the brown is too like a very cheap cotton high street cardi that i bought several years ago (that is still looking fine) for about a quarter of the price). overall i think its overpriced for what it is (i.e a bit shapeless and not figure flattering).

            I have ordered from Boden before but this is the first item I have kept. I was really pleased with this cardigan and the taupe colour is lovely. I am a size 8 and I would say it's true to size - the size 10 was huge. Just deciding whether to go for another colour now! I have washed it and it's passed with flying colours! The only tiny thing is that it does kind of stretch out on the sleeves but that's due to the linen content and as it's a casual looking cardi it doesn't ruin the look. Yes, it is quite thin but it is a lightweight summer cardigan so is perfect for the summer!

              This is a really lovely cardigan. The sweet pea colour is not too bright and goes well with white and all the neutrals I wear. The cardigan feels really soft and a pleasure to wear. Confirms my past faith in Boden knitwear.

                I ordered this in white and yellow thinking the white would probably be more useful but I have surprised myself and am keeping the yellow. The cardi is thin (which is why I like it- very useful in spring) but somehow the thin-ness looks cheaper and more granny-ish (on me anyway!)in the white as its more see through.Yes the yellow is quite bright/acidic but strangely enough it goes with/contrasts well with lots of things. I would add that I'm 5ft7 and size 12 and the shape and siae are perfect- I think it would possibly drown anyone a lot shorter or very slender so if that's you i would order a size down too and send one back.

                Bought the azure, very similar to colour online. Fab bright colour that instantly makes me feel summery when I put it on.

                Nice light knit, perfect for summer wear. Did feel a bit rougher than I expected when I took it out of the wrapping, but feels great on and much cooler than any other type of yarn. Scrunches up in to a tiny ball in my bag but comes out looking great.

                I am a bit nervous of buying long sleeved items because I'm tall (5 10) with long arms, but sleeves on this are fine; no hint of the Herman Munsters here. Nice mid hip length aswell.

                Buttons are a bit awkward to do up being fabric covered, but I very rarely do them up anyway.

                Love this; could be my buy of the summer.

                  Comments about Boden Women Lightweight Summer Cardigan:

                  I bought this cardian in Taupe and the colour goes with a lot of things. I wouldn't quite describe it as 'long'....It comes to the top of my thigh (I'm 5'6). I was expecting to get a boyfriend-type cardigan. However, it is still nice. I would not have paid [$] for it as I have seen nicer for the price but I got 25% off and it is well worth the money. It's not a cardigan to keep you cosy and warm but it will keep a chilly summer breeze at bay.

                    Bought the cardi in Pistachio size down to 10 as recommended. I coudnt do better. I love it. The fabric is summery thin great for evening as a cover up.
                    Thinking of ordering in different colour.
