This year, we’re seeing a trend back to 19th-century Bohemian fashion, or boho-chic which was inspired by the artistic folks rebelling against the mainstream of the time. In the current era of embracing individual styles and pushing back against the conventional, it makes sense to see these styles coming back.
What is Boho-chic?
It’s a look that pulls primarily from the hippy movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Boho-chic is undefinable since it is based on the free-spirited attitudes of that era. It’s all about being effortless, and, though it’s often seen in warm weather, you can wear boho-chic styles any time of year. This style is characterized by a loose silhouette and flowy sleeves. It’s maxi dresses, relaxed necklines, and layering. There’s a lot of embroidery and patterns. Loose, patterned pants are a perfect boho-chic piece.
Look for pieces with tassels and fringe, and don’t forget the tie-dye. Look for neutral colors like browns and ivory. Layer a fringed shawl over a long dress and add accessories like a wide-brimmed hat and a beaded necklace. For footwear, sandals, with or without heels, are great but boots can fit in as well.
This style is perfectly casual for running errands and going about your regular day. But it can also be glamorous for an evening event by choosing silk fabric and swapping the flat sandals for heels. You can even wear your boho-chic at work by pulling on a blazer over your long flowy skirt, white blouse, and heels. And don’t forget the festival season. Having your wardrobe ready to go will keep you cool under the hot summer sun while looking oh-so-cute! It’s all about expressing yourself in a creative way with clothing that reminds us of being free and untethered.
Celebrities in Boho-chic
If you need some examples of boho-chic fashion, you can always do a Pinterest search but there are some celebrities you can look to for style. Marie Claire recently shared an image of Sienna Miller looking relaxed in a denim duster and jeans. Vanessa Hudgens, Florence Welch, and Kate Moss are also known for appearing in the classic style when they’re seen out in public. Don’t forget the icons of the past though. Like Janis Joplin’s classic look and Stevie Nicks, who we’re planning to emulate for her free-spirited style.
Final Thoughts
We’re thrilled to see the free-flowing boho style returning in 2025 so we can enjoy the coming warm weather in style and comfort. Let’s get out those strappy sandals, wooden beaded necklaces, feather earrings, and fringed dresses and enjoy the sun!
