Bohemian is no longer associated with free-spirited unconventionalists, but a reinspired fashion revolution. From fringe to tassels, the style is simple, yet embellished with unique accents. The boho look features flared denim, embroidered pieces, maxi dresses, and an effortlessly cool look.
Though many bohemian items can be purchased through department stores and designer websites, stores like Free People and Planet Blue specialize in clothing of the style. Some “boho-chic” icons are Kate Moss, Rachel Zoe, Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie, and Mary-Kate Olsen, who love to dress it up and make the look go from day to night.
The individual and romantic style allows for more lenience when it comes to selecting an outfit, there are no rules, but the only essential is accessorizing. Big sunglasses and jewelry is key. Layering necklaces and stacking on bangles and rings are a way to define your look as bohemian.
Characteristics of the style in regards to fabric are tie dye, paisley, floral, and suzani. Some additions include fringe, beads, pom-pomms, sequins, and embroidery. Must haves are gladiator sandals, floppy hats, fringe bags, a fur vest, flared or embellished denim, and a printed maxi. If you own any of these items, you’re in luck, because you are on your way to becoming a boho fashionista. So as the weather gets warmer, ditch those heavy coats, and look for a more “free” style.
