This Nostalgic Noughties-Era Skirt is All You Need to Nail the Summer's Bohemian Aesthetic

While most millennials seem to be vehemently opposed to the number of 00’s trends returning to our wardrobes, I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m firmly in support of their revival. Not only do I love the sense of nostalgia brought about by rediscovering said pieces, but seeing the way they’re being redesigned and styled for a new era brings a sense of sartorial freshness that I couldn't be more excited about.

This is exactly how I feel about the return of the tiered maxi skirt—aka, the boho maxi as it was once lovingly known. I started noticing it cropping up again last summer, and since then, its popularity has only continued to grow. Why? Because it's the perfect piece to add to holiday wardrobe that exudes endless cool-girl Euro summer vibes.

If you’re wondering how to wear the tiered maxi skirt in 2025, the key is to lean into its boho aesthetic. Neutral, earthy tones are a no-brainer, but that doesn’t mean prints and fun details are off the table either. Floral, paisley and artistic prints will still give that soft, feminine, free-spirited appearance while the likes of lace and tassels will also help tie the look together.

When it comes to styling, pair with a cute lace cami, simple ribbed tank or even your swimwear to turn your tiered maxi skirt into a chic beach cover-up. Then finish with chic sandals and a basket bag to bring the style firmly into 2025.

And while naturally the tiered maxi skirt is most at home in sunny locales, that's not to say it can't work in your everyday wardrobe too. Closer to home, the street style set have also taken to re-working the tiered maxi skirt, this time alongside crisp white shirts, leather jackets and cowboy boots for a tougher, city-ready feel.

If, like me, you made the mistake of ditching your tiered maxi skirt after it first went out of fashion, you most likely can’t wait to get your hands on a new one this season.

So, I’ve compiled an edit of the best tiered maxi skirts to shop right now, including fresh white skirt styles, bold printed iterations and those with jazzy details. This time around, just make sure you hang onto it for good—because as its recent return proves, all good trends eventually come back around.
