This is one piece of fashion news we know the Princess of Wales would be delighted by. One of her iconic jumpers is now available in her go-to shade, emerald green! If you’re a Kate fan you’ll know the top I’m talking about when I tell you it’s the bubblegum pink, scallop-edged wool blend which she wore during a London school visit in 2021.
- The Princess of Wales has worn Boden many times but the pink scallop-edged sweater she wore for a school visit in 2021 was a real hit.
- The knit is now back online at Boden UK and US Boden with new colour ways, including green, one of Kate's beloved shades. The strawberry red one is on sale for £53.20 / $68.60.
- Reviewers praise the quality, fit and feel of the knit and say it looks "very elegant".
The pretty jumper is by one of her favourite brands, Boden, who’ve re-released it in rich emerald, a colour she has worn in coat, dresses, knits and even earrings.
Boden's Imi Scallop Trim Jumper, £76 / $98 comes in several shades other than emerald, including warm ivory, strawberry tart red and a lovely neutral leaf shade.

I really love the delicate details at the neck and hem, and the cotton and wool blend (70% cotton and 30% RWS-certified wool) will feel lovely and soft against the skin. It’s machine washable too which is a must in my book.

What are verified shoppers saying about the Boden jumper?
The jumper has an excellent 4.5 out of five star rating, based on 34 global reviews. Reviewers praise the quality, fit and feel of the garment - one shopper dubs it a “cosy, sensible shirt with lovely detail” noting that it “can be for every day - or a special occasion top”. They add: “Absolutely love the trim, colour, and soft feel!”
Another happy reviewer says: “Beautiful jumper. The collar and wrists are beautifully made, and it looks expensive. Unfortunately, the white shade didn't go well with my skin tone, but I'm looking forward to getting it in different colours.”
As far as negative reviews go, the main complaints were with the colours not suiting, or looking a slightly different hue from the impression given on the website. When you’re shopping online that’s always a possibility, but thankfully Boden does offer free returns within 90 days if it’s not quite what you expected when it arrives.
Boden also has a twin version of the jumper with an edgy twist - contrasting trim stitching on the neck, sleeves and waist. It's the 'Pru' Trim Scallop Jumper, £70 / $98 - and to be honest, I think I might even like this version even better.
And if you’re digging the scalloped look but you're looking for a shade that's more of a bubblegum pink - you might want to check out this scallop edge tank from Wyse London, £95 / $165. It’s a heavier cable knit but still very much the scalloped vibe.
