Ruffled boho dresses are everywhere this summer – and for good reason. They’re floaty, flattering, and an easy way to look effortlessly put-together for special occasions.
Heidi Klum’s maxi dress with a bow-tie neck and fluid ruffles that framed the bottom skirt is the perfect example of how impactful these dresses can be. And although she’s paired the dress with a burgundy faux fur coat and patent leather boots, options that we might not reach for during the warmer months, we’re simply taken by the dusty pink dress alone.
So, what is boho style in 2025? In short, its revival this year can be credited to Chemena Kamali’s debut at Chloe, where flowing layers, billowing sleeves, and ruffles took centre stage. However, boho chic has been gaining traction in the fashion world for years.
