    It’s official, everyone who is anyone is entering their soft boho era right now. First there was the Chloé girl squad at the Met Gala, made up of Zoe Saldana, Sienna Miller and Emma Mackey, then Daisy Edar-Jones gave us a lesson in boho windswept dressing on the press tour for Twisters and, most recently, Kate Hudson stepped out as the latest Chloé convert channeling Penny Lane from Almost Famous.

    If three makes a trend, we’re well and truly on our way to a full boho takeover as it’s pretty clear the love for the soft western aesthetic is showing no sign of slowing.

    Chloé are of course leading the way on the designer front under the helm of Creative Director Chemena Kamali, however, if you’re looking for a more accessible way to embrace the trend you’re in luck. The high street is currently awash in light floaty fabrics, delicate frills and subtle western detailing perfect for channeling the boho vibe at a fraction of the cost.

    While Mango and H&M are undoubtedly at the helm when it comes to soft, sheer styles they aren’t the only ones. Zara’s boho designs offer a more rustic take on the trend with studs and embellishment making an appearance while Anthropologie’s equestrian printed slip dress could be straight from the Chloé archives. Plus, we have to take a moment for the accessories, from rope necklaces to iconic wooden wedges, the high street is definitely doing its bit to bring boho back.

    Yet, while there’s definitely plenty to choose from when it comes to boho inspired styles on the high street, the best pieces aren’t sticking around for long (giving even more credence to just how good this look is). Zara’s pastel blue sheer coord has already slipped through my fingers while many of H&M’s pieces are already begging to be restocked. So, with that in mind, I’d suggest if there is something you can’t be without be prepared to move quickly as while the boho trend is definitely sticking around for the coming SS25 season, these pieces won’t be. To help, I’ve rounded up an edit of the most expensive looking boho pieces on the high street right now, so keep scrolling and add them to your basket ASAP.
