The spring-summer 2026 season has seen a clear fashion focus on romantic aesthetics.

Oddly enough, the interest in Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, who played the main roles in the new film adaptation of Emerald Fennel, only strengthens the popularity of this aesthetic. The images of Robbie's heroine are built around corsets and clear lines, open shoulders and expressive details. The influence of the film is also felt in everyday fashion. In spring 2026, lightness, layering and femininity are among the main trends. That is why boho-style tops are becoming an important purchase this season.

What is a boho top? It is a model with lace, ruffles, flounces or layers of light translucent fabric. Such a top looks soft and romantic. It does not overload the image. It emphasizes the figure without excessive theatricality. These are the features that make it a universal choice for the warm season.
The boho top trend first appeared a few seasons ago. A significant contribution to its popularity was made by Chemena Kamali, the creative director of Chloé. It is this brand that systematically develops the boho aesthetic in its collections. However, in 2026, this trend takes on a new meaning and becomes one of the most frequently mentioned elements of clothing.
In 2026, various models will be relevant. In the spotlight is a boho-style top with puffy sleeves. Models with open shoulders will become popular. Corset options also remain in trend, as well as those that gently fit the figure and create a light silhouette. This is the main request of spring 2026 – femininity without excess.
When looking for the perfect boho look and style, look to Margot Robbie's looks during the Wuthering Heights promotion. Key examples include the torn sleeves of Ashi Studio's dress, the raw edges of Dilara Findikoglu's dress, the intricate cut of Maison Margiela, the drapery of Roberto Cavalli, and the textured accents of John Galliano. These details create a modern interpretation of the boho aesthetic.
Cultural references are worth mentioning separately. The ideal solution for the spring-summer 2026 season will be a combination of Jane Birkin's relaxed style of the 1960s-1970s and Sienna Miller's love of ruffles in the 2000s. This combination will help create the perfect, current boho looks.
How to wear a boho top in everyday life? The easiest option is to combine it with straight-cut jeans. Jeans balance the romance of boho things and make the look practical. Another option is classic trousers. In this combination, the boho top will have a restrained and modern look. To build more expressive looks, it is appropriate to add multi-layered pendants and necklaces. A belt with an accent buckle will also be a good addition. At the same time, it is important to maintain balance. The boho top should remain the central element of the look.
