The boho-chic aesthetic we’re witnessing today is modern and elevated. Even New York Fashion Week ran rampant with bohemian inspiration. Just the other day I came across Cynthia Rowley’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection and noticed ruffled trims, fringe finishes and embroidered denim. (Pieces Serena van der Woodsen would have hanging in her closet the next day, no doubt.) And don’t get me started on the use of fringe and leather at the Nanushka showing.
As someone who’s always felt a kinship with ‘70s fashion and sought inspiration from the original Charlie’s Angels, particularly Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith, as well as American treasures like Jane Fonda and Pam Grier, nothing makes me happier than seeing the return of over-the-knee leather boots, statement belts, fringe accessories, suede jackets, ruffled garments and earth tones. Unlike the questionable fashion choices of our past (I’m looking at you, floppy felt hats and flower crowns), 2024’s boho-chic trend is all about elevated editing. Here’s how to master the boho-chic trend this fall without looking like you stepped out of 2012.
