How boho fashion is making a comeback this summer

Last summer called quiet luxury to the forefront of fashion, with nautical stripes, raffia accessories and tailored linen populating both runways and high street stores.

It’s long been agreed that trends move in 20-year cycles, but with the rapid consumption of fast fashion, this gap seems to be closing. This is probably why it feels like only yesterday that we were emulating Kate Moss’ wellies and waistcoats.

Here are five ways to style the look…

1. Boho beads and precious stones

Whilst Coco Chanel said before leaving the house take one thing off, boho-chic said put three things on. The secret to the nonchalance of bohemian style is through layering miscellaneous accessories and this season: bold beads.

Accessorize Chevron Beaded Tassel Earrings Blue, £14

2. Clashing layers

Friends Like These, Cream Open Crochet Knit Top, £44, Next.

3. Lace and linen

Monsoon Parker linen-crop trousers in green, £29.50 (were £59).

Boho chic often brings to mind blushed florals and paisley prints, but the overuse of these in the 2010s has left room for more interesting experimentation with print.
