Once synonymous with ‘70s-themed costumes, wearing long blouses with flared jeans has ironically now become the most modern way to embrace the trendy boho look. However, it’s no longer about embracing an outrageous or attention-getting outfit. Today’s take on the dress-over-jeans formula stands out for its emphasis on elegant basics and sophisticated style.
We’ve noticed all the women with great taste we know have been embracing tops with extra-long hemlines and boho aesthetics, thanks in part to the popularity of recent collections at Chloé and Etro. Blouses with charming ruffles are very much in style, while others offer a more minimalist approach. The interesting thing, however, is that these extra-long blouses seem to go particularly well with flared jeans. The combination seems to be the secret to the perfect boho chic outfit.
Below, some of our favorite long blouses and flared jeans outfits to wear in summer 2025 for that boho look.
A long lace blouse or dress with light-wash denim
Want to be on trend for summer? Find something in a floral lace design, white, sleeveless, almost ankle-length and with an elegantly bohemian aesthetic. Pair it with classic ‘70s-style jeans in a light wash, and the wide trouser leg allows you to add platforms to the mix. The result? A boho look so retro it becomes modern again. With this, you’ll instantly stand out.

A long ruffled blouse and studded flared jeans
There’s something magical about wearing a romantic ruffled blouse with jeans that have a subtle sparkle. It reminds us of the fashion of the 2000s, when celebrities wore dresses over pants and adopted a carefree, playful approach to style. Today, the most fashion savvy insiders are wearing tops that hit below the hips with layers of charming ruffles. They look divine over light bell-bottomed jeans, especially if they have a subtle studs or crystals that add even more texture to the look. Add a tan suede jacket and matching booties for a boho chic outfit that’s very much in the style of Chloé.

A boho blouse with extra-long sleeves and paneled jeans
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the recent runways of Etro, Zimmermann, and Chloé, to name a few, it’s that long blouses are the new tank-top. In other words, these oversized garments have become the easiest way to add a relaxed air to your outfit. It’s counterintuitive, given their elegant style, but the bohemian spirit of a blouse with long sleeves and ruffle details—especially one in transparent or satin silk fabric—does all the talking. Combine it with flared jeans and platform clogs to finish the look.

A denim dress with skinny flare jeans
Denim on denim doesn’t have to look like a Y2K costume, as long as you select pieces that are trending in summer 2025. Flared skinny jeans (yes, that’s a thing!) are a fresh way to approach this look, and they pair well a denim mini dress for a modern take. Add a white T-shirt underneath—and maybe even a denim jacket, if you’re feeling brave—for a layered look that’s great for casual social occasions.
