When I think of the word boho, there are a few things that come to mind: Vanessa Hudgens in Coachella's prime, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wearing gladiator sandals and fringe bags, and Serena Van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl in crochet tanks and ruffled dresses. I've kept these images far in the depths of my brain, but when Chemena Kamali showed her debut collection for Chloé earlier this year, they quickly resurfaced. Shirred necklines, wooden clogs, metal belts, and flouncy dresses all came down the runway, marking the return of boho chic.
All anyone could talk about after the show were the gold belts with Chloé in cursive, the dress styling (The ruffled hem tucked into boots was most pleasing to me!), and the larger-than-life hobo bags (I need to see them on Nicole Richie immediately). I'm on board with all of them, but what really captured my attention had to be the '70s-style tops. Made from delicate lace and organic silk, they were either tucked into jeans or high-waisted shorts. If you're looking to emulate the vibe of Chloé's F/W 24 show and join in on the '70s revival, a ruffled or lace blouse is an easy way to start.
The collection won't be available till fall (and based on Moda Operandi's now-closed trunk show sale, the tops cost around $4K), so I went through designer and affordable retailers to find the chicest boho-style tops available to shop right now. From Dôen and Ulla Johnson to H&M and Mango, find your pick below.
& Other Stories is chock-full of flowy tops just like this one, which happens to be a personal favorite.
This styling is perfection. I love the juxtaposition of the gauze blouse and the dark-colored trousers and coat.
A set like this is all you'll want to wear this summer. (It comes in white, too!)
If you buy this top, please wear a gold chain necklace just like this.
If you're looking for something just like the long flouncy dresses seen on Chloé's runway, this is your best bet. I especially like how this one has an open front to pair with jeans or trousers.
Compliment magnet.
I already have this edgier option in my cart.
Pure elegance.
The cinched waist? I'm obsessed.
This kind of top would go with everything from white linen pants to wide-leg jeans this summer.
Pretty.
If you loved the black lace pieces at Chloé, this one's perfect for you.
With Maximilian Davis leading the designs, Ferragamo can do no wrong in my eyes.
If you have a vacation coming up, this set should be in your suitcase.
Romantic.
Festival season is still going on, and I think this would be a great concert pick.
The contrast piping makes the ruffles pop.
Bella Hadid would definitely wear this.
The right way to do polka dots in 2024.
