This week, I overheard a theory: we’re in the midst of a lover girl epidemic—and the evidence is everywhere. Olivia Rodrigo and Gracie Abrams have handed us a summer soundtrack built for it (whether you’re listening to “honeybee” or “Death Wish”), while a line-up of celebrity weddings has kept our social feeds filled with white dresses and beautiful ceremonies (mainly, Taylor Swift). Something about warmer months just breeds romance, or maybe I’m only this sentimental because it’s finally above 60 degrees after New York’s coldest winter in decades. Either way, it’s the perfect excuse to lean into romance with the boho trend that’s quietly owned the runways for seasons now.

Chemena Kamali has been crowned boho’s reigning queen over the past few seasons, her Chloé collections steeped in romantic frills, lace trimmings, and pastel hues—landing in that sweet spot between innocent and effortlessly chic. The easiest entry point into the trend? A boho top. It’s a subtle shift that changes the mood of an entire outfit without tipping into costume. For reference, look to the archives: Jane Birkin’s free-spirited ’60s and ’70s uniform still circulates through our feeds today, right alongside It girls in billowing tops built to bear the summer heatwave.
