Broderie anglaise is all about tradition. The beautiful embroidery techniques have been around since the 19th century, their roots dating back to English artisans, but we can’t help notice the present resurgence of this craft across vintage-inspired garments of today, making it the trend to invest in this season. Summer whites have always been a thing, but right now anything with eyelet, needle work, and dreamy, lace touches feels completely apropos.

It comes as no surprise that we are seeing a revival in the bohemian-forward trend, either. Sienna Miller, a poster girl for the Y2K boho era, has been getting back to her roots, wearing a variety pieces using broderie anglaise, such as the latest from Chemena Kamali’s debut at Chloé, and even a new collection with UK-based department store Marks Spencer. A recent Dôen x Gap collab was heavy on broderie anglaise pieces inspired by the California label’s signature styles.

Supermodel Elsa Hosk’s latest drop for her line Helsa was also peppered with many fine, feminine designs featuring these subtle embroideries, including dreamy, corseted dresses made for the Mediterranean seaside and bandana-effect tank tops that can let you sweat it out in any city in style. And Virginie Viard’s swan song collection for Chanel’s Cruise 2025 show in Marseilles featured many looks with these handcrafted techniques, from soft, fluid dresses to cropped tops and even a stunning, strapless gown.
And while broderie anglaise pieces come in a myriad of shades, we recommend keeping things in the extra light and airy vein in crisp white cottons or soft linens. Adorning everything from summer dresses and midiskirts to oversized shirting and palazzo pants, there is no easier way to look chic in the heat.
