It’s Back: To Make the Bohemian Fashion Trend Look Chic This Autumn, Wear These 8 Pieces
The boho trend is taking over autumn, too, bringing with it fur-trimmed coats, tassel scarves and peasant tops. If you've loved it for spring and summer, here's how to wear bohemian styles this season.
We saw it in the undulating, ruffled trims of Chloé's autumn/winter 2026 show. It's been in the air since the announcement of Practical Magic 2. Now, there's no denying it, boho is back for autumn 2026. Indeed, everything has indicated loud and clear that bohemian autumn dressing would no doubt be a thing this season.
As the peasant blouses fluttered in at the beginning of spring and tassel necklaces adorned the fashion set all through summer, the runways and cultural zeitgeist both have implied that bohemian fashion trends will continue into autumn. And what better season for it?
Autumn inherently lends itself to bohemian-inspired dressing. When you want to be wrapped in warm blankets and adopt everything cosy, boho's many layers make cool weather dressing chic. (Including long jackets weighed down with fringe, fur and tassels, dark floral tapestry prints, carpet bags, wide-leg jeans and long-sleeve peasant blouses rendered in black lace.) It's something you can fully submerge yourself in, or a style that you simply pluck a few pieces from here and there—with plenty of boho fashion brands to source these from.
This is, of course, quite the contrast to the bohemian fashion trends that have cropped up over the years. Growing up in the 2000s, boho dressing had a beach-inspired aesthetic. I wore feathers in my hair and dreamed about Isabel Marant's fringe boots and the sparkly, tie-up trousers from Roberto Cavalli’s spring 2011 ready-to-wear show. Now, it leans slightly mystical and witchy, with a perennially vintage inflexion and darkened sensibility.
Indeed, bohemian fashion has since taken a long and winding journey to what it is now, inspiring the Pre-Raphaelites and the flappers of the Jazz Age. It's not lost on me that something so rooted in non-conformity has become a mass trend, but maybe that's why boho style is so appealing, and what makes it so difficult to fully define.
You may have an idea in your head of what boho means, whether that's the romantic styles flouncing around Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights adaptation or an image of Stevie Nicks performing in 1975. It may seem like boho is strictly defined, but it's not. It moves and changes, and this autumn it's developing once again, still with its recognisable characteristics, but with a little more influence from the 1920s and modern-day details. As we pack away our Dôen sundresses and gladiator sandals, here are the perfect autumn boho trends to wear in their place.
8 Trends to Wear for Boho Autumn Dressing in 2026
1. Crochet Skull Caps
Style Notes: Hold off on the beanies, berets and pillbox hats. Crochet skull caps serve as an eye-catching accessory whilst we wait for colder temperatures. They're also an excellent, seasonally appropriate continuation of the summer crochet trend. The intricate web of lace brings a bohemian edge to any outfit, even if you stop with just the cap. However, you can create a particularly boho outfit by pairing it with fringed dusters, silk robe-style coats or cape blouses.

2. Peasant Blouses
Style Notes: While summer saw peasant blouses in flowy white options, autumn will introduce darker, more seasonally relevant counterparts. Peasant blouses in black lace or those featuring long, ruffled sleeves are great alternatives to styles that were better suited to a heatwave capsule wardrobe. One of the most iconic pairings that is undeniably bohemian is a blouse and jeans, though to ensure it's more suited to autumn, try one with vampy details and and all-black colourway.

3. Tassel Necklaces
Style Notes: The movement and texture of tassel necklaces fit comfortably into the boho styling narrative and explain why two trends have shown up incorporating this specific detail for autumn 2026. The length and sway of a tassel necklace, and pendant necklaces more generally, were made for stacking with crystal beaded chokers and silver chains. And because of their own ornate nature, tassels are capable of standing out from the voluminous peasant blouses, floral print dresses and tapestry jackets also involved in boho wardrobes.

4. Carpet Bags
Style Notes: If there is one trend on this list that I haven't been able to stop thinking about, it's carpet bags. These paired with tapestry jackets or fur-trimmed coats are a match made in maximalist heaven. Even as a minimalist, I'm drawn to the dark florals and rich textures of these handbags. Because of the brocade and silk fabrics, they feel luxurious whilst remaining grounded and earthy, which is exactly how I'd start describing boho style for 2026. The fabric may be easy to pick out from a crowd, but there are endless styles to choose from to make them feel more personal to you, whether you like a super-structured, top-handle bag or a slouchy, impossible-to-define-its-shape tote.

5. Fur-Trimmed Coats
Style Notes: Boho style holds an interesting dichotomy of luxuriously opulent pieces and those that are much earthier. Slouchy boots and ripped jeans may be present, but so are lace tops, silk bags and fur-trimmed coats. For autumn, the latter is exactly the type of outerwear worth embracing now and long into winter. This style of jacket is both an emblem of the '70s à la Penny Lane's iconic coat. It was made for wearing with all of your autumn jeans trends.

6. Aviator Sunglasses
Style Notes: Yes, aviators are absolutely back and the perfect way to complete your boho outfit ideas on those especially crisp and sunny autumn and winter days. This particular sunglasses trend is stepping in for the '60s-inspired bug-eye lenses tastemakers wore throughout summer. This time around, they're less aeroplane pilot and more fashion-forward—reminiscent of 2000s boho chic and something Nicole Richie or the Olsen Twins would wear. Colourful frames like the Ivresse from Miu Miu or aviators with softer edges from Prada are cool and provide a point of focus in an outfit full of loose fabrics and many layers.

7. Maxi Dresses
Style Notes: Whilst summer saw the return of boho dress outfits, autumn will see them lengthen and feature flowy, trumpet sleeves, sequins, dark floral prints and sultry silhouettes. This is your cold-weather answer to every fashion person and celebrity-favourite Dôen dresses. If you loved the frills and puff sleeves from spring and summer, autumn has a new selection for you to try that still feels inherently bohemian. Though they're longer, their versatility doesn't end. These dresses are the exact layer you want to wear under fur-trimmed jackets or trench coats and pair with slouch boots or ballet flats.

8. Tassel Scarves
Style Notes: Rounding out your fringe-focused boho wardrobe additions is the tassel scarf trend. Elevated and refined, silky tassel scarves are key to creating elegant autumn outfits with bohemian touches. With the right pattern on a tassel scarf, you can quickly shift from sleek, monochrome minimalist versions to boho styles that reflect the 1920s, whether you wrap it around a dress or button-down shirt. They also provide an innovative way to layer when it's not yet cold enough for thicker coats or wool accessories.
