What should I search for to find more of this style?

I recently bought this outfit from Target. I love the ease of the top (how it actually has sleeves is a plus, hate sleeveless women's everything in the summer), the elastic waist, etc. But what I really like is the bohemian style of this. Target isn't going to call this outfit what it is - but is there something I can search for/stores you know of that sell these types of clothes for women?
Best answer: This is not specific to the cut of the top or a top with sleeves, but sometimes a two-piece outfit in matching print like this is called a “play suit.”
The brand Free People sometimes has stuff like this, but usually a little more bare and the quality is not great.

Best answer: American Eagle has also done this sorta loose boho 70s style stuff lately too. Nordstrom Rack carries Free People (and others) at discounted rates too and you can shop online.

Best answer: Lou and Grey has a lot of tops similar to your linked one, and at pretty reasonable prices (wait for 30-50% off codes, don't buy full price). Lou and Grey was a spin off of Loft that originally was loungewear-focused, but some time in the past year they've switched over to more of these boho/comfy pieces.

Best answer: Import shops, the kind that sell clothes from Bali/Thailand/India have boxy, flowy, loose garments in rayon but the prints are def more "ethnic boho". Although here's an online shop--just a link that I googled--that walks the line between your photo and the usual import stuff.

Best answer: I don't know if this is a factor - but Reformation has a history of racism and abuse towards its employees of color. The Founder Of Reformation Apologized After Black Employees Accused Her Of Being Racist, But People Aren't Yet Buying It

Best answer: I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I tend to see this style of clothing among the smaller independent clothing designers in the US that emphasize comfort, ease of fit, and sustainability. The linked image directly reminds me of current offerings from Lauren Winter, Hackwith Design House, and EMLEE.
The price points for those brands are considerably higher due to being somewhat of a polar opposite of fast fashion: supporting the idea of buying fewer, well-made articles of clothing with a more timeless design and keeping them longer. The higher price tag is the result of producing garments in-house under fair conditions using all natural fabrics and/or low impact dyes.

Zara is really into the big pouffy sleeves this season.

Best answer: I own 4 pairs of the Wilfred Faun pant from Aritzia.
Back when there were offices, I used to wear them with a blazer and heels. Now I wear them with a cropped t shirt and Birkenstocks even in hot weather.
There carry other similarly wide legged and flowy articles. I’m following this thread with interest to see what others come up with!

Another one to look at is - believe it or not - Abercrombie & Fitch, who have moved to a slightly lower price point and a more Reformation-esque style since the last time you probably heard of them (for example, here is a similar-ish wrap top)
Also, Madewell has a lot of things along those lines.
