One of the most wearable trends of the spring-summer season can be attributed not just to trends but to a style that finds its way into the wardrobes of many fashion enthusiasts. Boho-chic is all about comfort and lightness, about the mood of romance and ethereal beauty.

Ethnic motifs are conveyed through the variety of fabrics used to create boho-style elements. Semi-transparent blouses with countless ruffles can be worn with lightweight linen pants or jeans. They provide what is essential in hot summer weather: breathability and maximum comfort due to their flowing design.

The boho style incorporates ethnic, floral, and natural patterns. Embroidery can complement the fringes and ruffles.

In the spring-summer 2024 collections, the boho trend was highlighted by fashion houses such as Chloé, Christian Dior, and Isabel Marant. Designers created flowing dresses with leather belts, fluid skirts, and outfits that were complemented by cowboy boots, fringed elements, and chunky accessories. ELLE has gathered several examples of boho-chic looks.
