If You Want to Look On Trend This Autumn, These 5 Chic Boho Outfit Ideas Will Do the Trick

We called it—boho chic is officially back, and this time around it’s not synonymous with sketchy festival fashion, it’s straight from the runways of the most luxe designers. Take Isabel Marant’s A/W’24 show for example; all of the key tropes were present: fringing, earth tones and textures-a-plenty, and over at Zimmermann swathes of print clashing and pussybow blouses were the order of the day, but it was Chemena Kamali’s debut at Chloé that really sealed the deal. For the first time since the late noughties oversized sunnies and chiffon blouses were key pieces again, and in the days after the show, social media was alight with cork wedges and early Olsen references. Bohemian dressing was now the look du jour again, whether we were ready or not.

If you balk at the thought, it’s likely that you remember the disc belts and braided headbands from the first time around, but 2024 promises to be an updated (and far more polished) take on the trend. Swap 2007’s draped tank dresses for Chloé’s billowing chiffon dresses and glossy knee–high boots, and trade in peasant skirts and waistcoats for biker jackets and balloon skirts and you’re a little closer to what we mean. So, how exactly do you tackle the boho trend in 2024?

How to Wear Boho in 2024

A steady move towards the free spirited aesthetic has been happening over the last couple of months and we hadn’t even noticed the subtle evolution happening. While last autumn/winter was the peak of quiet luxury and we were all hooked on cashmere, tailoring, business bags, and a monochrome colour palette, this season has made heroes of the hobo bag (particularly suede), the scarf coat and cape, biker boots and fifty shades of brown—a sure sign of things to come.

While not everyone is going to be sold on the idea of tassels and retro referencing, there are a few ways to nod to the look without committing to a whole new wardrobe re-do. Swapping an ankle boot for a knee high, or a midi dress for a maxi for example; we’ve identified five key pieces that even sceptics will consider the easiest way to introduce a little bohemia into your look.

Our Favourite Boho Outfit Ideas

1. The Ruffled Blouse

Style Notes: Perhaps the hardest working piece in any boho wardrobe, a light and breezy ruffled blouse is the fashionable way to dress up a pair of jeans instead of reaching for the same old white tee.

2. The Chiffon Dress

Style Notes: We’ve got a few weeks of mid-temp weather left, so make the most of it with a chiffon dress that looks just as good under denim jackets and trenches as it does wool coats and capes.

3. Suede and Denim

Style Notes: Try as you might to hate it, double denim just won’t quit, and right now it’s the perfect transitional outfit on the days that feel a little chilly. Just add suede accessories, and hey presto—a western inspired look that leans into laidback luxe.

4. The Hobo Bag

Style Notes: We can all get behind a sensible bag trend that is as practical as it is polished. Suede hobos are having a moment right now, but you can also help to ground airy fabrics with a glossy leather bag that will work for the office too.
