The boho trend is making a triumphant return for 2025, thanks to designers like Chloé’s Chemena Kamali, who championed the trend with ruffled blouses drenched in earthy tones and frilly dresses stitched with lace and chiffon. For fall, it moves beyond ’70s-inspired silhouettes and airy fabrics. Instead, it gets bolder for fall with chilly-weather textures like suede, leather, and luxe (often faux) fur. Strappy sandals are replaced by suede sneakers and flat knee-high riding boots.
The goal is to create looks that embody “pulled this from my travels” maximalism, built from contrast and harmony. Layer a silk floral blouse under a vintage shearling vest, top it off with a reclaimed suede trench, and let a hand-dyed scarf tumble down. The goal? To look like a poem in motion. This aesthetic draws heavily from the 1960s and 1970s counterculture movements but has been reimagined to include contemporary touches that feel fresh and wearable for modern bohemian style.
