Whilst the boho aesthetic never truly goes away, we’ve seen its resurgence on the AW24 runways and it's like a warm, comforting nostalgia. This time around, it has a more mature feel.

We feel like we’ve been transported back to 2004, the era of disc belts, suede fabrics, prairie dresses and ruffled blouses, endlessly searching for pics of ultimate boho-queen Sienna Miller’s Glastonbury looks for style inspo.

As Gabriela Hearst said her goodbye as Creative Director at the SS23 PFW Chloé show, Chemena Kamali’s arrival was much anticipated for AW24, and we were not disappointed. The front row was lined with wooden and leather wedges, giving us a sneak peek of what to expect from the collection.

As the Chloé show unfolded, it was clear Chemena had single-handedly revived boho chic. Amongst the designs we saw ruffled blouses tucked into jeans, billowing chiffon dresses, wooden clogs all in neutral tones.

As fashion month went on, we saw other designers also tapping into the boho trend. At Isabel Marant we saw an array of fringed pieces and suede fabrics and Chanel style flowy dresses with knee-high boots, big bangles and cinched waists with belts. 

However, if we look back to the SS23 and SS24 runways, we’ve seen the boho trend slowly creeping its way back into style. For SS24, Ermanno Scervino had an array of sheer fabrics, full suede looks, tiered maxi skirts, and layered gold jewellery. At Isabel Marant SS23 we saw chiffon fabrics, crochet finishes, ditsy floral prints and ruffles galore and in true Altuzarra style, we saw tie-dye patterns, gold disc detailings and studded sandals.

We did have somewhat of an indication we may see a boho revival following the popularity of Daisy Jones & The Six - set in the 1970s, so a lot of denim and printed, chiffon blouses were to be expected. 

What is boho style?

The boho trend, deriving from the word bohemian, skyrocketed in the mid 2000s – although the style actually harks back to much earlier. In the late 1960s and early 1970s when the hippie counterculture was at the fore, a pointed rejection of formal silhouettes resulted in flowy fabrics, loose-fitting shapes, earthy tones and, naturally, a healthy dose of fringing. 

Some key pieces that have come to epitomise the height of boho chic include suede and chiffon fabrics, embroidered peasant blouses, earthy tones and wedges. 

Hello! Fashion shares how you can embrace the boho vibe in your wardrobe:  

  1. 1/15

    Cold-Shoulder Ruffled Broderie Anglaise Linen, Cashmere and Silk-Blend Top

    Chloé

    We can't recommend pieces for you to buy without including the brand that initiated its revival. This Chloé blouse is the epitome of boho: its creamy tone, ruffled cold-shoulder sleeves and broderie anglaise finish.

  2. 2/15

    Elvina Midi Dress

    ba&sh

    If you want to buy just one piece to introduce yourself to the boho trend, make it this ba&sh number. This dress ticks every box for us - we'd style it with a suede knee high boot and add a denim waistcoat.

  3. 3/15

    Tie-Dye Pleated Skirt

    Mango

    If you want to embrace the trend but like colour in your wardrobe, a tie-dye option is a great way to tick both off. Stick to earthy tones and mix with brighter shades of red or orange.

  4. 4/15

    Black Suede Fringe Hem Shoulder Bag

    River Island

    An easy way to slowly ease yourself into the trend is through accessories. This River Island bag ticks all the boxes with its suede material, fringe detailing and gold stud finishes.

  5. 5/15

    Ravenna Printed Convertible Maxi Skirt

    Free People

    If we could only choose one brand to shop from for a boho style, it comes as no surprise that we'd head straight for Free People. We also love a versatile option, this maxi skirt easily transforms into a strapless dress.

  6. 6/15

    Kew Oversized Sunglasses

    Linda Farrow

    Oversized, ombré lenses and neutral tones are what we'd look out for in sunglasses for a boho-esque feel.

  7. 7/15

    Lace-Trimmed Mini Dress

    & Other Stories

    Stockholm based, high-street cult brand & Other Stories is our go-to when it comes to summer dresses. The lace trim embraces the boho style whilst still feeling modern enough for every day wear.

  8. 8/15

    Veda Houston Suede Jacket

    Reformation

    A brown suede jacket will easily become a wardrobe staple, so it won't be difficult to style it in a number of different ways. It's perfect for the transitional season.

  9. 9/15

    Daily Bucket Bag

    rag & bone

    A bucket bag is an essential for our summer wardrobe. Opt for one with a slightly more boho feel to it to subtly embrace the trend whilst still wearable every day.

  10. 10/15

    Tsuko Clog

    Isabel Marant

    Another brand we absolutely had to include was none other than Isabel Marant. These wooden clogs with their studded finish tick every boho box.

  11. 11/15

    Asymmetrical Denim Skirt

    Maje

    Denim is an easy way for anyone to slot the boho trend into their wardrobes. We love the asymmetric hemline of this Maje number and would style it with a chiffon blouse and gladiator sandals.

  12. 12/15

    Junie Gathered Embellished Floral-Print Ramie Blouse

    Zimmermann

    Ultra-femme brand Zimmermann is the master of girly blouses. This vintage floral piece tucked into a wide-leg jean and tan wedges is our go-to for a boho chic 'jeans and a nice top.'

  13. 13/15

    Crochet Knit Trousers

    Sandro

    Embrace two trends in one and opt for a crochet piece. These monochrome tiled Sandro trousers are the perfect addition to your holiday wardrobe.

  14. 14/15

    Leather Strappy Espadrille Wedges

    Charles & Keith

    The revival of boho brings the comeback of the raffia wedge. Style with a floaty summer dress, your favourite jeans or a cute mini skirt.

  15. 15/15

    Circe Necklace

    By Alona

    This oversized swirl pendant necklace oozes boho chic. Statement jewellery is in for SS24 and this will have heads turning.
