Gone are the days of microtrends that disappear before you can even click “add to cart.” Take, for example, summer’s boho fashion trend. The free-spirited look is showing its staying power for fall 2025, with a few small tweaks to match the cooler weather.
The boho look, popularized in recent collections from Chloé and Zimmerman, is proving to be one of the season’s most prominent early trends. For fall, it moves beyond ‘70s-inspired silhouettes and airy fabrics. Instead, it gets bolder for fall with chilly-weather textures like suede, leather, and luxe (often faux) fur. Strappy sandals are replaced by suede sneakers and flat knee-high riding boots. Even the color palette darkens, with butter yellow giving way to chocolate brown and bordeaux.
If you’re ready to embrace the look, keep scrolling. Up ahead, I’ve compiled every must-have boho-inspired trend that you can (and should) adopt to keep the vibe alive this fall.

Lace might be a summer staple, but I believe it can also easily transition into fall. Layer your lace-trimmed skirts and shorts under chunky sweaters or find darker-toned lacy pieces to make them suitable for the season.

Speaking of bag trends, one of this season’s most luxurious-looking styles is the padlock look. It’s reminiscent of the slouchy bags often seen on the arms of early-aughts It girls like Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, but with a modern twist. The padlocks themselves are usually smaller but still make a statement.

As someone who used to ride horses, I’m excited to see the riding boot become fall’s must-have shoe. It was spotted on the streets of Copenhagen Fashion Week this month, which is a strong early sign of its popularity. After all, Scandinavian girls were behind the viral rise of the flip-flop. In this case, all signs point to this boot following the same trend.

If you bought into 2024’s mob wife trend, this is your sign to pull your faux fur coats out of retirement. The look is one of the season’s nature-inspired trends that has been quietly going viral this month.
