The bohemian look is ever-evolving and never goes out of style. If you look at the flowing shapes and must-be-touched textures, you can see why it's so popular in the fashion industry—all it's about easiness, attitude, and romance.
Isn't it wonderful? To get the desired effect, you don't have to go all-out 1970s. It's simple to add a dash of boho-chic to any outfit by incorporating any number of boho-inspired elements. Here are a few pointers to help you discover your inner free spirit.
Fluid Silhouettes
Designed to swirl with every step, these dresses are lightweight and easy to move in. Because they're so long, they're a great base for layering, too. Throw on a slouchy sweater or a clean-lined blazer for a feminine-masculine mix to keep things flowing. Smocking cinched waists, tiers and pleats can add volume while also balancing the silhouette.
Romantic Fabrics
When it comes to boho-style, lightweight materials are a great way to achieve a laid-back vibe. From crinkled cotton to sheer silks, these fabrics are as dreamy to wear as they appear to be on the outside. Play around with pattern mixing or contrast the fluid feel with something structured, like faux-leather trousers or a trucker jacket, by taking advantage of the transparency.
Touchable Textures
You can transform even the most basic piece into the star of the show by playing with texture. An openwork-knit mesh effect lends itself to layering or a flirty flash of skin, depending on your preference. Peekaboo is possible with eyelet lace as well, and it has a vintage appeal. Embroidery gives a garment a more personalized appearance while also adding depth.
Impactful Prints
If you've always loved boho style, this season we're seeing a slew of prints and patterns that take things a step further than usual. Even if you're only wearing a few pieces, the over-the-top prints and vibrant florals will draw attention. Make a statement with just one piece of clothing, or mix and match a few pieces with complementary colors if you want to stand out even more.
Earthy Extras
Accessories are a great way to get your feet wet in boho style. Weaved bags, funky fringed jewelry, or an oversize straw hat with an eye-catching scarf are all good options. Any of these options will give your outfit a more natural feel, and they can be worn with both formal and casual attire.
