Whether it’s Palm Springs’ palm tree-lined El Paseo shopping district or the cobblestone lanes of the Cotswolds, Boden’s spring womenswear collection fits seamlessly into any getaway. The British label is known for its effortless, versatile pieces that make a timeless statement: think fit-and-flare maxi dresses in vacation-ready prints that go from brunch to beach, or V-neck swimsuits that pair effortlessly with linen shorts by day or maxi skirts by night.
With the approach of spring and summer, stylish Hollywood insiders are plotting their next sunny weather adventures around film festivals and other occasions. And for those who prefer to make every inch of carry-on space count, a worry-free wardrobe that works for every possibility leaves room in your travel schedule to soak up every special second.
Here, see how Boden defines every vacation moment with smart, chic travel staples, styled for six star-loved destinations.
Beachside Brunch in Saint-Tropez
From the late Brigitte Bardot’s And God Created Woman to Emily in Paris, the French Riviera town (a favorite pre- or post-festival stop for Cannes) has starred in no shortage of stylish scenes on the big and small screens. Boden’s print-happy Clean Sweetheart Swimsuit – paired with your favorite breezy coverup, the chic pink suede Triple Strap Sandal and Hammered Double Earrings – suits the mood for beachfront brunch at the famed Café Senequier before grabbing your Raffa Moon Clutch and stepping on to a chartered yacht to sip mimosas and soak up the sun along the Côte d’Azur. And when there’s talk of an impromptu swim, Boden’s one-piece will have you ready to take the plunge in style.

Triple Strap Footbed Sandal
Sunrise and Flat Whites in Sydney
Start the day at sunrise with Boden’s breezy blue linen Tie Neck Kaftan – ideal for covering up under Australia’s notoriously strong sun – and strappy gold Knot Sandals, perfect for grabbing a flat white before strolling the waterfront and people-watching at the Circular Quay. The embroidered midi dress and Mini Straw Tote suit Sydney’s beach-chic vibe – and you’ll look equally chic and comfortable while wandering into the Art Gallery of New South Wales or browsing the historic Rocks Market for one-of-a-kind finds.
Gallery Tour in Florence
Though Italy is a tempting place to step into tailored territory, an adventure in Florence calls for Boden’s linen Pia Cotton Yoke Dress. When finished with the exquisite gold Circle Necklace and Hammered Double Earrings, the classic striped ensemble tells a bold, luxurious style story that blends seamlessly with the artistic city. Throw on the embellished black suede sandals to gaze upon Renaissance masterpieces at the Uffizi, then hop over to the Accademia Gallery (home of Michelangelo’s “David”) – along the way, you might satisfy your sweet tooth with gelato at Mercato Centrale or discover the most delicious schiacciata of your trip.

Shoreside Relaxation in East Hampton
For the white sand beaches of East Hampton, Boden’s crisp Florence Linen Maxi Dress is ready to go where the day takes you. Leave your strappy gold sandals and Raffa Moon Clutch on your beach blanket for an ankle-deep dip into the Atlantic (or wear the Porto V-Neck Swimsuit beneath the dress so you’re ready for a dive), then head back for seaside charcuterie, gourmet cheese and rose. Keep the low-key itinerary going with shopping on Main Street and lobster rolls at the casual-cool Bostwick’s Chowder House (frequented by Neil Patrick Harris and Bobby Flay) or throw on Boden’s gold jewelry for high-end, Mediterranean fare at Nick & Toni’s (where you might spot the likes of J Lo, Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg).

Garden Lunch in the Cotswolds
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are among the stars who recently flocked to the English countryside, which makes for a dreamy weekend getaway. Boden’s gorgeous green Short Kaftan Dress – in a summer-ready linen and floral-embroidered silhouette – and the woven Interlocked Flat Sandal are fitting picks for lunch at the Burford Garden Centre, whose rustic, seasonal menu and artisanal home goods attract the likes of David and Victoria Beckham, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and other stars. From there, grab your Mini Straw Tote and wander Hidcote Manor’s stunning Arts & Crafts gardens – lest you forget, your understated-luxe ensemble makes for a floral-filled photo moment.

Sunset Stroll in Palm Springs
Summer nights in Palm Springs always require pavement-to-pool dressing – especially when poolside cocktails come calling. The former stomping grounds of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin (and now a vacation home spot to Leonardo DiCaprio, Clint Eastwood and others) is a picturesque backdrop for Boden’s zig-zag printed Mykonos Deep V Swimsuit and matching Belgravia Linen Shorts as you step out for a sunset stroll along shopping and art paradises such as Palm Canyon Drive or El Paseo. After dinner, don’t be surprised if you end up at midcentury resorts or cool poolside bars like L’Horizon, the Parker Palm Springs or Palm Canyon Swim & Social for mai tais and agave-infused spritzes.
