Fluid and effortlessly expressive, boho dresses have long been a fashion favorite—Stevie Nicks, Anita Pallenberg, and Bianca Jagger were all known for wearing them. Today’s muses, however, from Sienna Miller to Daisy Edgar-Jones, offer a refreshing take on the aesthetic by styling theirs in more unexpected ways: tucked into leather boots with blingy gold chokers, or with clog stilettos, oversized leather shoulder bags, and long pendants that appear to sway in the wind.
For those who appreciate the runway reference but want to bring the look to life with a more everyday silhouette, there are plenty of designers you can turn to for the perfect boho dress—Zimmermann, Ulla Johnson, The Great, and Isabel Marant, to name a few. Billowing sleeves and a cascade of ruffles are most emblematic, but don’t overlook the pretty paisley prints or details like embroidery, broderie anglaise, and crochet that offer a more subtle entry-point into the aesthetic. Feeling groovy? Below, 22 of the best boho dresses to wear right now.
