Right on cue, the “boho chic” headlines are again: a pattern that has been “revived” each summer season for so long as I’ve been working in vogue publishing. Much of that is all the way down to the garments photographed at Coachella, which, being a music competition set within the Colorado Desert – the place final weekend’s temperatures rose above 30 levels – included macramé bra tops, low-slung bell bottoms and flower crowns: gadgets synonymous with just about each mass summer season gathering since Woodstock 1969 first offered the boho-chic blueprint. (Though “Boohoo chic” would possibly now be a extra correct descriptor.)

Someone clearly divorced from this complete rigmarole is Margot Robbie. The actor was photographed yesterday afternoon arriving by boat at Club 55 in Saint-Tropez, not in a crochet costume and basket bag à la bohemian model plate Jane Birkin, however – deep breath – a denim bucket hat and a V-neck knit and dishevelled denims and suede loafers, with Chanel’s small buying bag on one shoulder and an unlimited tote and outsized leather-based jacket slung over the opposite. She appeared like she was heading to an Oasis live performance within the depths of winter. Proof, maybe, that there’s multiple solution to costume for summer season: that you needn’t concede to the pattern cycle, nor the local weather.
