The 21 Best Boho Dresses for Women to Wear All Season
While traditionally associated with warm-weather styles, fall’s best dresses with a boho sensibility transition effortlessly into cooler months, with luxurious fabrics like velvet and jacquard lending warmth and depth, alongside a palette of deep burgundies, chocolates, and navies. Today’s boho can be surprisingly minimal, too, with streamlined silhouettes that feel refreshingly modern. Ulla Johnson’s sleek slipdress with voluminous puff sleeves and Jonathan Simkhai’s gradient ombré pleated midi offer a nostalgic nod with contemporary restraint. And for festive occasions, pieces like Agua by Agua Bendita’s embellished maxi and Alix of Bohemia’s Renaissance-inspired midi bring an air of opulence that elevates the bohemian spirit to something utterly holiday-ready. Ahead, scroll for 21 minis, midis, and maxis defining the trend.
