Arguably one of the most interesting looks, the boho chic style is a winning mix of creativity, ravishing retro charm and undeniable allure.
It has character and embodies that elusive cool factor that draws admiration and sparks individuality.
A blend of “bohemian” and “chic”, boho chic is known for its free-spirited vibe and traces its roots to the counterculture movements of the 1960s and 1970s.
The look is all about a laidback, casual vibe, with flowy fabrics, wide silhouettes, bold prints, and natural elements.
Think paisley prints, floral patterns, maxi dresses, long scarves, ruffles, fringe, lace and artisanal accessories.

We adore this look because it feels so artistic and inspires creative self- expression. And, now’s the moment to wear your creativity proudly, ladies and gentlemen, because this trend is hotter than ever!
One the season’s strongest proponents of this style is Chloe. Almost every look from the French brand’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection reflects boho chic.
A standout piece is a two-piece floral ensemble featuring a square-neckline, thick- strapped top with a tie-on waist detail, paired with harem pants.
The look is completed with a black crochet handbag, platform soles, and gold-tone jewellery, including a seashell bracelet and a fish pendant.
For the fashion-conscious male, Valentino presents a belted yellow knit top paired with jeans and layered with a suede fringed outerwear fastened by two gold chains.
A skullcap and a fringe hobo bag with silver grommet details add the perfect touch of swagger, fusing fringe and finesse for a look that’s stylishly boho-luxe.
Two trailblazing Chinese-American designers bring their own perspectives to the fad, combining cultural influences with modern style.

Vivienne Tam’s vision on the trend is both comfy and casual.
Part of her Spring/Summer 2025 range includes a pair of loosely cut grey pants paired with a blouse in light and dark blue tones, accented with playful fringe and ikat print – a nod to artisanal craftsmanship.
Even the footwear has fringe detailing that sways with each step, lending a sense of movement and fun to the ensemble.
For a brighter, more whimsical take, Anna Sui offers a floral dress in orange and yellow tones, layered over a tangerine ruffled-trimmed top.
Giving out vibrant energy, the outfit perfectly showcases Sui’s signature mix of bold colours and vintage charm.

The bohemian spirit takes on a modern, edgy twist at Sandro, where a black dress with a ruffled hem and playful polka dots is worn with a brown leather jacket sporting a subtly weathered finish.
At Louis Vuitton, bohemian gets glamorous with an A-line dress that has flowy sleeves in midnight blue, accented with sparkling crystals and intricate beadwork.
This gorgeous creation is nonchalantly paired with tan, slouchy knee-high boots for a striking contrast, proving that the right boots are made for more than just walking – they’re for slaying!
