The boho skirt is back this fall. Considering swapping that flowing, possibly crocheted or patterned skirt for a classic wool one suited for cooler weather? Think again.

A 1970s icon adored by hippies and Fleetwood Mac’s lead singer alike, the boho skirt saw a huge revival among early 2000s style icons. Back then, it was a decidedly modern choice, embodying a free-spirited, feminine, and playful approach to fashion—picture Kate Moss or Sienna Miller. Now, it’s the unexpected fall trend you should rediscover quickly—still in that familiar shape, but perhaps with more luxurious fringe and surprising prints.

The boho-chic trend remains strong, continuing from recent spring and summer collections. One designer leading this revival is Chemena Kamali at Chloé, who embraces the ’70s aesthetic—a time associated with natural, sensual, powerful, and effortlessly free femininity. Her style language has won over fans from Tyla to Anya Taylor-Joy. Most recently, Meghann Fahy of The White Lotus wore a full Chloé Fall Winter 2025 outfit: a white and cream double-layered cropped top with delicate embroidered sleeves and a burnt clay maxi skirt featuring ruffled hips and hem. The collection’s ’70s boho elements, blended with Victorian influences, vintage nightgowns, and ’60s shapes, created something fresh and contemporary.

At Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello designed a long, pleated skirt with a paisley pattern that felt light and airy, complementing the collection’s rich leathers and barely-there dresses. Elie Saab celebrates the fluidity of the boho skirt, pairing elegant tops with breezy skirts. Blumarine made a charming nod to the 2000s with a sensual, slit skirt design. And Chanel showcased a bold, scarlet ruffled skirt. In 2025, the boho skirt evolves with new textures like burnt velour and dramatic slits.

Sienna Miller, the undeniable boho-chic icon, has embodied this free-spirited style since the 2000s. In 2003, at the peak of her boho phase, she shone in a long, flowing skirt adorned with butterflies and net details, paired with a simple camisole—a stark contrast to the era’s “jeans and a nice top” trend. She remains loyal to Chloé’s bohemian world, often seen in the front row at their shows and on the Cannes red carpet, celebrating the brand’s poetic femininity.

So, as you transition your wardrobe from summer to winter, keep this in mind. When the temperature drops, pair a flowing boho skirt with a crisp knit sweater, a luxurious leather jacket, or even a trendy poncho to fully embrace your bohemian vibe, and complete the look with statement knee-high boots.
