Boho-Chic Is Summer's Biggest Trend—Fashion People Have Found the Prettiest Way to Wear It
Boho chic is back. The concoction of frills, suede, platform wedges, handkerchief hemlines, denim, and chiffon that reigned supreme in 2004 and had devoted followers such as Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, and the Olsens, is now back on the agenda thanks in large part to Chloé's autumn/winter 2024 runway show. Celebs and the fashion set alike swooned over nostalgic billowy tops tucked into jeans, chiffon dresses paired with leather jackets, oversize sunglasses, wooden clogs, and studded flats as they sashayed down the Paris runway. The throwback trend seems surprisingly fresh for 2024, and the fashion crowd is here for it.
So how do we incorporate the free-spirited trend into our summer 2024 wardrobes? This time around we're leaning into an elevated approach to the laidback '70s-inspired styles. Aside from a must-have bohemian blouse, one piece you won't regret investing in is a billowy boho dress. For 2024, think less paisley prints and instead focus on a chic color palette of earthy neutrals and free-spirited details such as lace and sheer fabrics, chiffon, and ruffles. Below, I'm sharing some of my favorite boho dresses for the summer season which can easily be styled with knee-high boots and a leather jacket once fall/winter rolls around.
Keep scrolling for the best boho dresses that feel on-trend for 2024.

Discover How Influencers Are Styling Their Boho Dresses for Summer:
Style Notes: A flowy black maxi dress is arguably the easiest way to hop on the trend, especially if your prefer darker hues year round. Style with a pair of ballets flats and statement necklace for days out.
Style Notes: You can never go wrong with a white mini in summer, and I love how Aniyah has paired hers with pale yellow accessories and chic sunglasses.
Style Notes: Olivia's green printed maxi screams boho chic. This summer I'll be shopping for a similar version of this dress to wear it with low-heeled strappy sandals for my garden parties.
Style Notes: Sally proves that you don't have to opt sheer or lacy fabrics to hop on the boho aesthetic. This neutral tone high neck maxi is such an elegant take on the trend.
