TWO SOPHISTICATED WAYS TO WEAR THE BOHO TREND THIS SUMMER
TWO SOPHISTICATED WAYS TO WEAR THE BOHO TREND THIS SUMMER
Hello, ladies! I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day! We had dinner at my oldest son’s, which was fun and crazy! You know the saying “welcome to the sh*t show?” Well, that is our family! I don’t even try to hide it anymore. We are who we are; I guess that makes me the “ringmaster!” Today, I wanted to show two sophisticated ways to wear the Boho trend. There’s a reason Boho never really goes out of style, especially in summer. Boho, at its core, could be described as a free-spirited ease. Boho fashion embodies comfort, creativity, and a touch of romance. And for women over 50 who know their style but still love a fresh twist, Boho offers the perfect balance between relaxed and refined.
This season, we’re embracing two effortlessly elegant Boho looks that are anything but costume-y. Think luxe textures, feminine silhouettes, and grown-up accessories. Here are two ways to wear Boho beautifully this summer:
Bell Sleeves & Border Prints: The Elevated Caftan Dress
This flowing maxi dress with intricate floral and paisley details is Boho at its best—refined, romantic, and flattering. The wide bell sleeves and high neckline add just enough drama without overwhelming, while the belted waist creates a gentle shape.
The soft structure and long lines skim the body gracefully. It’s a dress you can wear to brunch, a gallery opening, or even a summer wedding. This dress reminds me of Zimmerman. I had it on and walked by the Frame store, and several girls who work there thought it was Zimmerman. This dress is polyester, but it does have that Zimmerman feel (and 100% less expensive!). I paired it with a straw bag (similar) and suede thong sandals (similar).
Modern Crochet: A Midi Dress with Textural Charm
Crochet is back—but not in a kitschy, beach coverup way. This elegant cream midi dress has a figure-skimming fit with just enough peekaboo detailing. It’s polished and breezy all at once. The knit fabric hugs without clinging, and the hemline hits that just-right midi length. It’s feminine, flirty, and grown-up fabulous. Pair it with metallic slides, a structured straw bag, and stacked bangles for a timeless look with a twist. A denim jacket would be great over this dress.
Why Boho Is the Perfect Summer Trend
Boho is the perfect summer trend for women 50 and over. It’s a way to embrace softness and personality without losing polish. You’re not dressing like your 20-something self—you’re wearing Boho in an elevated and elegant way. Whether you gravitate toward the ethereal prints or luxe knits, there’s a Boho-inspired piece out there that aligns with your classic style—and maybe lets you reminisce about how you wore it in the past.
We are heading to Montana this weekend to open up our “little” getaway. I am so excited to do nothing. I am taking a few books and want to catch up on a little work. I feel like it’s been non-stop since March, and I need a minute! It will be on the colder side with a few days of rain, but I am ready to chill!
I hope you all have a great day! Be well and Stay safe! xx
