The best boho dresses to see you through festival szn

Boho doesn’t always have to mean floor-skimming, maxi hemlines. We love Zara’s super wearable take on the trend with this satin floral mini. At under £40 it’s a lil’ bit of a bargain, too.

Sézane has quickly become a fashion editor favourite thanks to its French cool-girl aesthetic. The brand’s boho dress is seriously versatile – you can dress it up with gold jewellery and barely-there sandals or keep it casual lil’ plimsol trainers.

This smock dress is giving us real Mamma Mia vibes – and we’re not mad about it. With its delicate embroidered flowers and pretty crochet details, this breezy number was made to be worn on holiday.

If you thought you could only style a crochet dress on holiday over a bikini then think again. We’ll be wearing this boho maxi over briefs and bralettes at summer festivals. Simply add a leather jacket come evening.

We're obsessed with all the pretty details on River Island’s boho look. Hello, smocked bodice and intricate embroidery.

Despite what you may think, a knitted dress is a serious summer staple – just make sure you stay away from anything too thick and opt for lightweight crochet styles instead. This M&S number is woven with a hint of stretch so it’ll hug you in all the right places.

Every year, Nobody’s Child brings out a killer maxi dress for us to live out our boho dreams in, and 2024 is no different. With its fully smocked bodice and flowy tiered skirt, this embroidered floral dress is one of the comfiest options in this edit.

Anything butter yellow is going straight in our basket this season – including Mint Velvet’s gorgeous boho dress. We’re obsessed with the ruffled trims and open stitch detailing on this lil’ number. This style is also available in blue if that’s more your thang.

We love the drama the playful puff sleeves and flared skirt are bringing to this Aspiga dress. Wear yours with cowboy boots to really play up those boho vibes.

If you’re after a boho dress that’ll see you beyond summer, look no further than H&M’s floral smock dress. This folk-inspired drop-waist mini will look just as good now with espadrilles and flip-flops as it will with knee-high boots come autumn.

We think Queen of Coachella Vanessa Hudgens would approve of this floral maxi. With its plunge neckline, rose print and smocked waist, this number feels deliciously boho. Just add statement gold hoops, and you're festival ready.

Oliver Bonas’ new summer collection is not one to sleep on, folks. The brand’s paisley midi dress is going to be a no-brainer for heatwave dressing. Anything breezy and comfortable gets a big yes from us.

Not into floaty, maxi boho dresses? Opt for this crochet midi from H&M instead. I mean, the tassels are just TDF. Run with the retro vibes and style yours with oversized sunnies and platform sandals this summer szn.

It was love at first sight when we spotted this be-a-u-tiful Anthropologie maxi dress. Just look at that square neckline and those pretty ruffled tiers.

Thanks to its gorg floral print, this boho smock dress is surprisingly versatile – it’s easily elevated when worn with gold heels, but looks pretty casual styled with cowboy boots.

For a more polished take on the boho dress trend, check out & Mint Velvet’s maxi dress. This would look so cute at festivals with wellies and a flower crown, but will also work for the office – just add heeled mules and a blazer.

How cool is this denim patchwork dress from Free People? The asymmetric ruffles skirt and open back are such a Gap Yah vibe.

If you’re looking to dip your toe into the boho dress trend, Free People should be your first port of call. The brand always puts a hippy twist on all its designs. This beachy maxi is a real showstopper in this gorge khaki hue, but it comes in an impressive 20 other colours if green isn't your thang.
