If You're Not Into Pencil Skirts, This Pretty Style Is Definitely Worth Trying Instead

Whilst pencil skirts and other structured silhouettes have certainly turned my head this season, nothing quite compares to my all-time favourite skirt trend.

Flowy, frilly, and hopelessly romantic, bohemian skirts are the style I'll always have a soft spot for. And this is especially good news considering how on-trend they're going to be this year. With the wider boho fashion revival in full swing, these skirts are having a well-timed resurgence. Capturing the same effortless charm as the boho blouses and artisanal accessories dominating right now, these midis and maxis offer a certain elegance that makes every outfit feel suitably spring-ready.

But what exactly defines a "boho" skirt? For me, it’s less about rigid rules and more about a feeling. Billowing silhouettes, wispy fabrics, delicate lace, playful ruffles—these details all fall under the boho umbrella. You’ll know it when you see it, and more importantly, when you wear it.

Kate Hudson was spotted endorsing the trend this week. Selecting a rich plum-toned skirt with a sheer finish and a voluminous cut. Grounding her look, the actor layered her outfit with a sleek leather jacket to add dimension and weight to the otherwise wispy ensemble.

If you’re hesitant about versatility, I’m here to prove that a boho skirt is more adaptable than you might think. Keep it laid-back with a boxy tee and chunky sandals, or add structure by pairing it with a glossy leather jacket like Hudson. And if you want to embrace the boho spirit fully? Style it with a frilly blouse, and let the romance take over.

French brands seem to have mastered the silhouette, with labels like Chloé, Isabel Marant and Ba&sh all offering up chic iterations, but high-street favourites like Mango, Zara and Anthropologie also have dreamy versions for more restrained budgets.
