From ruffled silk dresses to ‘70s-style denim and an abundance of fringe, we break down fashion’s new boho sensibility – and how to style it.
Most of us remember the last wave of boho chic: Sienna Miller in fringe vests and cowboy boots, Kate Moss’ printed dresses and denim, the Olsen twins in their oversized sunglasses. In 2025, this bohemian sensibility is back on the runway, thanks to brands like Chloé, Valentino and Zimmermann. This iteration is a different ball game to the Noughties, or even the ‘70s. It’s hyper elevated, taking key boho silhouettes and modernising them with refined fabrics and sharp, modern styling. Here, we break down four key pieces to nail the boho-chic comeback – and how to wear them.
The statement-making ruffled dress remains a cornerstone of the boho-chic look. Camilla’s new-season dresses are a natural go-to, with their signature prints and sumptuous fabrics – like this asymmetrical ruffle slip dress in printed silk twill. Balance the romance with grounded details: a brown suede jacket, delicate gold jewellery and a pair of on-trend ballet flats.

Look back at the best of the ‘70s and fringing is everywhere: Keith Richards in his fringe suede jackets, Stevie Nicks in her flowing shawls. This season, fringe returns via accessories that will instantly lift your day-to-day looks. At Coach, the much-loved ‘Brooklyn’ tote gets the fringing update. Style yours with a denim midi dress (like this style by Sheike), a simple leather sandal and some boho-inspired jewellery, like this set of anklets by Lovisa.

No boho wardrobe is complete without denim. At Chloé, new creative director Chemena Kamali is reworking ‘70s-style silhouettes, like these high-rise flared jeans, available at Kivari. Pair them with a statement-making floaty blouse, like Zimmermann’s aptly named ‘Hypnotic’ blouse, with its layers of lightweight silk and soft peony print. Add a chunky wedge heel and a pair of square sunglasses to finesse the final look.

Anyone who grew up with pictures of mid-00s Olsen twins tacked to their moodboards knows the power of a great pair of sunglasses. This season, oversized sunglasses are the style du jour, with brands like Cos nailing the brief. With an understated gold frame, these sunglasses will seamlessly integrate into your existing wardrobe. They look particularly good with boho-inspired midi dresses, like this voluminous style from Forever New. Up the ante with a sophisticated handbag like this top-handle tote from Celine and simple sculpted hoop earrings from ANTON.
