Spoiler: It’s not the Coachella-core you remember.

If you’re in your mid-20s and lived through the Tumblr era, you probably have mixed feelings about the word boho. Flashbacks of flower crowns, fringe vests, and that 2015 Coachella overload might come to mind (shoutout to our Pinterest boards at the time). But this summer? Boho is back — and she’s had a serious glow-up.

The new wave of boho isn’t about dressing like you’re on your way to a music festival. It’s way more subtle, wearable, and actually… kind of chic. It’s giving relaxed, earthy, romantic vibes without the costume energy — and I’m so here for it.

Boho in Your Mid-20s = Effortless, Not Extra

Let’s be real: our style has matured (thankfully). We want to look put-together, but still express a bit of that carefree, creative energy. That’s where modern boho comes in — it’s less about going full-on Stevie Nicks and more about sprinkling in small touches that feel fresh and personal.

How to Channel Boho Without Looking Like You’re Headed to Coachella:

• Lace Details: A simple white top with lace trim or a dress with eyelet embroidery is a super easy way to tap into the trend without doing too much.
• Crochet Accents: Not talking about rainbow crochet sets (unless that’s your thing) — just a neutral crochet tank or a beach bag can add texture and a laid-back feel.
• Earthy Accessories: Think beaded necklaces, wooden bangles, or a woven belt. These little add-ons elevate a basic outfit without trying too hard.
• Flowy Fits: Wide-leg linen pants, breezy midi skirts, or anything that moves with the wind — perfect for hot summer days and patio nights.
• Natural Tones: Stick to soft creams, sandy neutrals, and muted terracottas. It’s calming and flattering, and works with pretty much anything in your closet.

So yes, boho is back — but she’s all grown up now. No need for a flower crown or glitter tattoos. Instead, it’s all about soft details, natural fabrics, and effortless charm. Perfect for brunch with the girls, city strolls, or just pretending you’re on vacation even if you’re running errands.

If you’re looking for a fun way to refresh your wardrobe this summer, boho is back — and she’s kind of that girl again.
