Last time I wore a long boho skirt, it was 2003 and I was desperately trying to channel my free-spirited style icon of the moment (Sienna Miller, of course) via every hippie accessory possible. There were baggy boots, hip belts and braided headbands too – but my favourite piece was an ankle-grazing maxi skirt that offered just the right amount of slouchy, barefoot spirit.
Fast-forward to today, and she's only gone and done it again. Buoyed by the resurgence of her ever-favourite designer, Chloé, boho is officially back – and Sienna is our poster girl once more.
Happily, the long boho skirt has had a 2025 update, much like the rest of the bohemian resurgence. These loose, flowing styles lend themselves perfectly to laidback styling, though can just as easily be amped up should you wish. You can lean all the way into the boho look with layers, ruffles and fringe aplenty, or add some juxtaposition with a motorcycle jacket or a little denim (more on that later), too.
And while bohemian fashion is typically associated with a summer of love, that doesn't mean these floaty staples don't transcend seasons – in fact, there are plenty of silky, lace-trimmed styles that make for perfect winter layering pieces.
So long live bohemia – and without further ado, here's how I'll be styling my boho maxi skirt this winter and beyond.
The sweater-skirt combo
Our Patron Saint of Boho has spoken – if you want to soften up a long boho skirt for cosy season, it's all about adding layers. Knee-high boots, a chunky belt and that sassy leg split makes this look perfectly appropriate for evening-out dressing, as Sienna demonstrates impeccably.

With a lace-trim cami
The silky, slinky lace-trim cami is arguably another boho staple that's re-emerged thanks to recent Chloé catwalks. Teamed with a flowing maxi skirt, it gives an effortless, thrown-on vibe – pile on the accessories for an extra eclectic look.

The ‘moto boho’ look
How to bring the bohemian trend into leather jacket season, you ask? Enter ‘moto boho’, the aesthetic that combines soft boho silhouettes with tough motorcycle bombers. Fashion is all about contrast, after all.

Denim and lace
Another easy way to ground those easy, floaty layers is by adding a denim shirt. Light washes certainly make for a more boho-coded choice, but a deep blue or black can work, too – a good boot and a belt will tie the look together. Simple, right?
