While shirts have always been a wardrobe staple, this season they’re taking center stage as a major trend, particularly when styled in a bohemian spirit. The boho aesthetic, which initially gained traction through collections by Isabel Marant and Stella McCartney, has truly blossomed on the Autumn/Winter 2024/2025 runways. Designers like Chloé under the creative direction of Chemena Kamali, alongside brands like Etro, Akris, and Bottega Veneta, have presented an updated take on the boho shirt, emphasizing an elegant yet relaxed approach.
How to Style Boho Shirts for Autumn/Winter 2024 According to the Runways:
*
Lace White Shirt and Jeans:
Chemena Kamali’s debut as Creative Director for Chloé marked a revival of the boho style, featuring lightweight chiffon dresses and shirts, ruffles, and semi-transparent white lace. These pieces were styled with fitted jeans and wooden-wedge clogs, reflecting a 70s vibe.*
Oversized Boho Shirts:
Bottega Veneta, renowned for its minimalist and sophisticated approach to luxury, has incorporated a subtle, elegant interpretation of the boho trend. Their oversized shirt, transitioning from brown to teal, was paired with a flowing skirt for a total look.*
Sheer Blouses with Flowing Pants:
Fluid pants take center stage in the latter half of the year, as seen on the Akris runway. These pants, especially when styled with sheer blouses, offer a sophisticated evolution of the boho aesthetic, featuring a subtle gradient from smoky black to white. The look is completed with cream square-toe pumps.*
Denim Gradients:
Marques’ Almeida, a Portuguese brand founded in 2011, has embraced color gradients for Autumn 2024, specifically in denim. Baggy pants and a denim shirt with a waistband create a total look. The sharply cut neckline and hemline add a distinct boho touch.*
Etro’s Boho Heritage:
Etro, a brand steeped in the spirit of faraway lands, has always infused boho codes into its DNA. The iconic paisley motif, a signature of the brand, is a constant element in their designs. The boho shirt in Etro’s Autumn/Winter 2024-25 collection features luxurious warm-toned fabrics, floral patterns, and draping. It’s styled with a coordinating long vest, wide-leg jeans, and pointed-toe pumps.*
