Crochet, lace, floral applique.. there was very much a love of all things arts and crafts on the Spring/Summer 24 catwalks.
While there is a hint of boho here, the focus is on the materials that lend themselves to a bohemian vibe, but with a more elevated feel.
Think crochet corsets (KNWLS), sheer knitted and tasselled dresses (Alberta Ferreti and Roberto Cavalli), plenty of floral appliqué (Valentino) and, controversially, dresses over jeans (Zimmermann and Valentino).
For Spring/Summer, it is all about mixing those crochet, lace and tasseled elements with more tailored pieces and minimal accessories. The key here is to pick one detailed piece, be that an embroidered top, a crochet gilet or tasseled skirt, and build your outfit around it, favouring more understated basics such as jeans and a white shirt.
And if this style still isn't for you, do check out the other trends to look out for this summer: maximalism, orange, purple, monochrome, cut-out details, embellished fashion and geometric prints.
