Fluid and effortlessly expressive, the best bohemian dresses have long been a fashion favorite—Stevie Nicks, Anita Pallenberg, Bianca Jagger and Yves Saint Laurent’s muse Loulou de la Falaise were all known for wearing them. They reemerged as the romantic staple of the season, and unlike their early-2000s counterparts, today’s versions exude a more refined, polished elegance.

Style your bohemian dress in unexpected ways by offsetting its softness and fluidity with playful contrasts—think mesh sock shoes from The Row or Chloé’s jelly sandal, suede sneakers, or satin flats. Finish the look with sculptural gold jewelry to add an artisanal yet modern touch. However, know that you can never go wrong with a clean leather flat sandal to anchor your boho midi or maxi.
For those who appreciate the runway reference but want to bring the look to life with a more everyday silhouette, there are plenty of designers you can turn to for the perfect boho dress—Zimmermann, Ulla Johnson, and Isabel Marant, to name a few. Billowing sleeves and a cascade of ruffles are most emblematic, but don’t overlook the pretty paisley prints or details like embroidery, broderie anglaise, and crochet that offer a more subtle entry-point into the aesthetic. Feeling groovy? Below, 28 of the best boho dresses to wear right now.
