Right on schedule, the “boho chic” headlines have returned—a trend that gets “revived” every summer for as long as I can remember in fashion publishing. This is largely thanks to the outfits seen at Coachella. Set in the Colorado Desert, where last weekend’s temperatures soared above 90 degrees, the festival featured macramé bra tops, low-slung bell bottoms, and flower crowns: staples that have defined nearly every major summer gathering since Woodstock 1969 first set the boho-chic template.

Clearly removed from all of this is Margot Robbie. The actor was photographed yesterday afternoon arriving by boat at Club 55 in Saint-Tropez. She wasn’t wearing a crochet dress and basket bag like bohemian icon Jane Birkin, but rather—take a deep breath—a denim bucket hat, a V-neck knit, baggy jeans, and suede loafers. She carried a small Chanel shopping bag on one shoulder, with an enormous tote and an oversized leather jacket slung over the other. She looked as if she were headed to an Oasis concert in the dead of winter. Proof, perhaps, that there’s more than one way to dress for summer—that you don’t have to give in to the trend cycle, or even the weather.
And thank goodness. I don’t believe in dressing for the forecast, only in having the inner strength to ignore it. I’m glad to see Margot Robbie feels the same. Let’s see if this weekend’s Coachella crowd takes note.
