Ready to rock the new boho style seen all over the runway? Here are the must-have boho chic clothing items for the perfect haute bohème aesthetic.
I’ve always had a love affair with boho chic clothing. From coveting the iconic looks of Sienna Miller and the Olsens to glossing over the pages of a Free People catalog in the early aughts, boho style was always my sweet spot, where I felt the most like me.
Fashion is reviving its love affair with boho style through designers like Chloé, Valentino, and Alberta Ferretti. The “new boho style” embodies elevated pieces and cohesive outfits, a refreshing change from the mainstream, hippie chic aesthetic we’re all familiar with.
Either way, I’m in a new era of my style and I’m totally here for it! These fashion trends keep returning (and as we learn from history) to challenge us to do better!
So let’s dive into these seven, must-have boho chic clothes you might want to add to your wardrobe. Not only do these pieces style together for a complete boho aesthetic, but you can also mix and match them with your capsule. That’s what’s most fun about boho 2.0!

Best Boho Chic Clothing
1. The Ruffled Dress
The ruffled dress is the epitome of boho chic clothing. It’s feminine and flirty and looks cute day or night styled with different accessories and layering pieces. A flowy dress is my first pick for a concert outfit any time of year!
Achieve that new boho look with a pair of over-the-knee boots and a matching, solid-colored cardigan or jacket in a similar length. Add a long necklace or pair of dangly earrings to create more length in the body. A waist belt adds shape to an outfit if you prefer less volume.

2. Over-The-Knee Boots
The next item on this list of boho chic apparel is a pair of over-the-knee boots. In this era of elevated boho style, OTK boots style perfectly with dresses and skirts in cooler weather or as a fashion statement in warmer months. These boho boots are intriguing and sexy when styled against the ethereal nature of flowy, relaxed pieces (fitted meets relaxed).

3. A Statement Belt
When it comes to boho chic, a statement belt is a must-have wardrobe essential. Pairing it with other boho clothes like a flowy dress or tunic creates simple, stylish outfits. A low-slung style that sits up on the hips looks chic over a pair of high-waisted pants and a matching top, embodying the drop-waist style in a casual, everyday outfit.
An embellished belt is the perfect standalone piece to incorporate the boho fashion aesthetic into any look. Whether it’s a touch of vintage to a classic LBD, or creating something more cohesive with a skirt and cardigan, this timeless piece delivers again and again to one’s wardrobe.

4. The 70s Pant
70s-inspired pants have been a mainstay on the fashion runway for several years now, styled from workwear to casual outfits and everything in between. These pants are high-waisted (some even fitting at the ribcage) with a wide-leg, relaxed flare, or bell-bottom style leg. This style helps elongate the legs, especially when worn with a pair of platforms or heels.
A pair of pointy-toe flats also helps lengthen the legs when styling boho-chic pants. Another style hack to create the illusion of longer legs is to match your shoes in the same color as your pants. Long necklaces can also create the illusion of length you need to balance the volume of the pant legs.

5. A Romantic Blouse
Not to be ignored on this list of the best boho chic clothing is another timeless piece: a romantic blouse. This piece has been reinvented yearly with different fabrics, fits, lengths, and colors. It’s the easiest boho item to pull out of your closet and dress up a pair of denim when you need a last-minute outfit.
For a stylish office look, pair a boho blouse under a fitted jacket such as a blazer or faux suede shacket with a pair of trousers. Try leaving it loose or juxtaposing the style by tucking it into a pair of high-waisted jeans. I would layer this top over a fitted turtleneck with a matching cardigan and trousers to create that coveted haute bohème look.

6. Tiered Skirt
We can’t forget the tiered skirt, an obvious choice for styling boho chic outfits. This piece breathes versatility, whether paired with a chunky, cropped sweater in the winter or a basic tank in the summer. The style is naturally carefree and casual, but easily elevated with dressy separates and accessories.

7. Embellished Bag
Rounding out this list of boho chic clothing is an embellished bag, a definite staple in my closet for years. What’s been somewhat of an afterthought in style trends for the last decade has finally come full circle on the runway. Whether in suede, crotchet, handcrafted leather, or with fringe, beadwork, and other unique details this bag is meant to make a statement.
No matter what handbags are trending, an embellished bag always receives the recognition it deserves when worn out and about (in my experience). Find a handbag you love and add your touch of boho to any style of outfit for the win.
