Boho-chic has proved to be among 2024’s most triumphant trends. Chloé played a pivotal role in defining the boho-chic aesthetic, with Chemena Kamali’s work at the house redefining the trend with her nuanced understanding of the brand’s heritage.
The creative director, who took over from Gabriela Hearst, drew from Chloé’s Seventies roots, embracing that era’s free-spirited, effortless femininity while adding modern touches to widespread acclaim.
Her collections have brought back signature boho staples like flared trousers, tiered skirts, and crochet designs, infused with sun-faded fabrics and rich floral prints, that have since trickled down to the high street, with Mango and Mint Velvet taking note.
Think of the trend as what happens when a free spirit meets a fashion editor’s wardrobe. Sienna Miller basically invented the look in the mid-2000s, turning London streets into her personal Coachella runway - vintage frocks, oversized sunglasses, and boots that somehow always seemed dirtier but cooler than yours.
More recently, Suki Waterhouse picked up the baton, casually throwing together floaty dresses with chunky knitwear and bedhead waves for both on-stage and off-duty occasions.
Don’t get us wrong, we’re not just talking about flower crowds and Hunters. The movement lends itself whole-heartedly to the cool enigma of Stevie Nicks, while retaining an element of fun, flirtatious style that piques interest from passersby.
Plus, boho-chic isn’t just for summer. Pirate-inspired silhouettes and ruffles galore make for fabulous party outfits for those who would rather avoid the tight LBD this season.
