For a couple of seasons now, the fashion world has been flirting with boho dresses. In 2019, Blumarine, Iro, Carolina Herrera, and Ulla Johnson all sent them down the runway. We’ve seen this resurgence in relation to the Y2K wave that hit the catwalks. So, although the bohemian dress has never completely disappeared, it was only a matter of time before it became an obsession again.
Romantic and sometimes very colorful, long boho dresses offer a significant change within the fashion-sphere, where minimalism has recently ruled. Now is the perfect time to learn how to wear this piece, which has influenced the spring 2024 trends. Pro tip: wear them with flat sandals—the preferred vehicle of some of the best creative directors in the industry.
Ermanno Scervino has demonstrated how to accessorize the light, fluid dress. Here, the model wore flat thong sandals and long necklaces. Add a hat and sunglasses for a weekend of relaxation or an afternoon with friends!
Although the bohemian movement originated in France in the late 1840s, most people associate it with the hippie wave of the 1960s. At that time, freedom and connection with nature were everything and woven garments became very popular. To channel this energy, Michael Kors opted for a long white lace dress. With cutouts and slightly flared sleeves, it has a vintage essence that is difficult to resist. Try pairing it with a denim or leather jacket.
Ulla Johnson is known for adding boho touches to most of its clothing, and its spring 2024 fashion show has been no exception. The colorful designs invite you to have fun with these kinds of styles and take them to the next level, like the large fabric flower with the free-flowing tendrils. Take a cue from the styling: the yellow strappy sandals maintained the color palette without distracting from the overall look.
What is summer without beautiful flowers? And of course, few summer outfits are complete without a pair of flat sandals. Models with velcro straps have returned to give extra nostalgia to those who grew up in the ’90s. Wearing them now will result in an enviable, effortless style.
Choosing this green flowing dress is a wise choice for those who need their clothes to be versatile. For a day at the office, just add a blazer and jeweled sandals. Or—for a more casual look—a light jacket will do the trick.
In addition to being on-trend, long boho dresses are also very romantic, especially those with ruffles and wide skirts that invite you to daydream. Not for nothing, the romantic look has been a go-to for Jennifer Lopez and Sienna Miller. J.Lo wore one during her visit to Mexico, and Miller at the Met Gala 2024. Being such an attractive design, flat sandals are ideal for providing balance and not distracting too much from the absolute hero of the outfit.
