In recent years, the ever-increasing popularity of spring and summer music festivals has pushed traditional retailers to classify festival style as a whole fashion category in and of itself. Designers have taken notice and responded in kind, offering up a bevy of boho chic styles perfect for the festival-frolicking fashionista.

While boho style is nothing new, floating in and out of fashion cyclically over the decades, every incarnation brings a fresh twist. As temperatures begin to rise, 2016 will continue to be heavily influenced by the ‘70s. Off-the-shoulder silhouettes, fringe accents and lace up sandals continue to dominate the scene at houses like Valentino and Pucci.

To get the look, go for easy pieces in floaty chiffons, soft laces, and suedes. Choose earthy colors and textures and skip anything constricting or structured. The boho trend is really one that’s perfect for our mega hot Miami summers.

Even if you’re more Glam Gal than Flower Child, you can tackle the trend. Try a Valentino Rockstud with a Southwestern makeover. In Spring 2016, the now-classic Rockstud pump swaps out its signature pyramid studs for turquoise beads, for a look that’s definitely still elegant.
