I have the Boden Lola Jersey dress in many colors and I love it. It’s easy to wear, flattering in my tall, pear shaped self, comes in long/tall, and looks good with sneakers as well as flats/sandals. Unfortunately, Boden does not make a slightly warmer version for winter- slightly thicker fabric, maybe, with 3/4 length sleeves would be perfect! Alas, no luck.
Here’s what it looks like- can’t figure out how to post a picture so here’s a link https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/lola-jersey-dress/sty-j0592 So I’ve been looking around at Madewell, Gap and Old Navy for other options and coming up short. Can you help? I’m a teacher and I need uncomplicated easy to wear pieces like the Lola dress but for winter! Thanks. |
Why not just wear this dress with a cardigan, tights, and boots? |
Would any of these work? Your Lola from Boden is on left.
Left to right: 1. Lola at $90 marked down to $63 2. DVF's Astrid Midi in cashmere + wool at $448 3. DKNY wrap midi sheath in rayon/poly at $119 4. Anne Klein sweater wrap in cotton/poly at $99 Give me price point, or colors, or materials, or length, or sizes, and I can tailor the search more. This is just a sample. |
Ralph Lauren surplice jersey wrap at $125

Mm la fleur has some Jersey options—they are expensive unless stuff is on sale.
It looks like boden does have a long sleeve option: https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/clara-jersey-dress-black/sty-d0023-blk?code=K4G3&tc_ch=ps&tc_ve=goog&tc_so=pla&tc_me=cr&tc_ca=aw-drop-offer&tc_au=pla-297414535428&tc_cr=na&tc_campid=Shopping+-+Smart+-+Adult&tc_adgroupid=Adult&tc_kwid=PRODUCT_GROUP&tc_matchid=na&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9rby3c-k9AIV2PbICh1gvw5IEAQYCyABEgJKXPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Or athleta might be an option too but maybe more casual. |
This. If you are a true pear, this RL cut is very flattering (much more so than DVF wraps, IMHO, for a pear). I am not tall, though, so I can't speak to length. |
| That makes sense re: pear shape. |
| This is helpful- thank you! OP here. $150 or less since I want to buy more than one. I like the Jersey of the Lola. And yes I plan to do tights and boots and a cardigan with my black one. The others I have are too summery in color/pattern. Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll go looking. You guys are awesome! |
