How to Dress in Boho Chic Style?

The boho chic style refers to a fashion trend inspired by the 1970s. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing with floral or ethnic prints in warm colours, artfully accessorised, embodies the bohemian silhouette. Undeniably feminine, fresh, and poetic, this style is perfect for daring, free-spirited women who appreciate beautiful materials and light, colourful fabrics. Here’s a look at the different types of outfits to discover how to dress in boho chic style.

The Bohemian Dress

Often, it's a long dress, flowing, lightweight, and colourful.

• Choose it in warm shades; brown and red are the favourite colours of boho chic silhouettes.
• Blue, especially turquoise, pairs beautifully with brown and is also quite popular.

All shades of brown, from camel to caramel, including dark brown, are perfect. Purple is also very trendy, especially when paired with other tones. White is a staple of the bohemian style. Therefore, skirts in white, off-white, or cream tones, as well as lace trims, have a stunning effect. Lace adds a touch of feminine elegance.
Dresses can feature ethnic prints or floral patterns. The fabric is light, sometimes playing with sheerness and layering of light skirts. For a chic touch, lace, as well as tulle or sequins, and embroidery make the dress unique. It’s a must-have piece in your wardrobe.
The dress should be comfortable. It is typically wider, even though the top may be more fitted, with a flared, flowing skirt. The top can be round or low-cut, depending on your preference. Sometimes, a lovely lace-up detail or tassels attached to a tie adorn a V-neckline. The dress is suitable for all seasons, with long-sleeved styles keeping you covered year-round. In summer, lighter, shorter styles let you enjoy the sunshine.

The Bohemian Skirt

Like the dress, the skirt is typically worn loose, flowing, lightweight, and most often long. Floral prints or solid colours adorn light skirts. Layering can be part of the look too. Your skirt can also adapt to the seasons, becoming shorter in summer.

Adorned with lace, a pretty leather belt, sequins, or a more understated look, the skirt pairs beautifully with a blouse, tunic, a lovely white shirt, or a faded denim jacket. Along with the dress, these will be the main pieces in your boho chic wardrobe. Pants are not excluded from this style. However, opt for faded jeans that you can accessorise. Skirts and dresses are what truly bring charm to this undeniably feminine style. Regardless of your body shape, the long bohemian skirt will flatter you.

The Bohemian Blouse

The bohemian blouse is absolutely essential! It can be paired with a skirt, jeans, or denim shorts adorned with lace. This top is so comfortable you'll never want to take it off.
Feminine, the blouse comes in solid, floral, or ethnic print designs. It’s often whimsical: decorated with embroidery, little tassels, fringes, or lace. In a more subdued style, such as white, it's usually made from a blend of fabrics, like chiffon or lace.
Romantic when it has a rustic charm, or mysterious when adorned with iridescent colours, it’s often worn quite short. The sleeves can be wide or gathered at the cuffs, sometimes featuring ruffles. These sleeves can also be cut asymmetrically, adding extra charm. The neckline, either V or round, may have a tie with small decorations like tassels.
This flowy, lightweight top is a must-have in spring and autumn. Short-sleeved blouses will accompany you throughout the summer. The great thing about the blouse is that it suits all body types as flared designs can conceal small curves.

TUNIC AND BOHEMIAN BLOUSE

The Bohemian Tunic

Long and comfortable, the boho chic tunic is a feminine and trendy top. White models with openwork sleeves or solid designs with fringes are very popular. However, the tunic is constantly reinventing itself to meet your desires. Colourful models, printed or tie-dye, simple or embellished with beads, embroidery, or charms, come in endless variations. Typically worn loose, it can be easily accessorised at the waist with a beautiful belt.
Spacious and comfortable to wear, it flatters all silhouettes. It looks stunning over jeans or shorts, or on solid-coloured trousers.

Bohemian Jewellery

Perfect for adding style to all your outfits. If your style leans more classic, it will add a touch of whimsy; however, with a bohemian outfit, it enhances the overall look even more.

• Necklaces: Long necklaces adorned with wide strands of colourful beads or long chains featuring feathers or small stones are to be preferred. Feathers and turquoise or brown stones are worn as pendants, along with more intricate or cut-out jewellery. Silver is also popular for chains and other adornments;
• Bracelets: Multi-strand and multi-material bracelets have been in style for several years. Often mixed with beads, ribbons, charms, cords, stones, and shells, they are commonly worn in multiples and elegantly adorn your wrists;
• Earrings: Metal earrings, decorated with feathers or pretty stones, beautifully highlight your face's contours;
• Rings: Typically made of metal, often silver, and adorned with large stones, the ring is an essential accessory that never goes out of style.

Dressing Boho Chic: the little extras for an unmistakable style

• A touch of white always pairs well with a more colourful piece. For instance, a white blouse contrasted with a multicoloured skirt adds a touch of elegance;
• A headband styles your look and enhances the bohemian aspect. You can also embellish your hair with a large flower on a hair clip for a pronounced hippie vibe;
• The bohemian bag: brown with fringes, embroidered, or adorned with knit patterns, it's a staple that makes an impact;
• Ankle boots: Leather ankle boots with lovely cut-outs pair wonderfully with your long dresses or skirts;
• The jeans, whether slim or boyfriend, are ideal companions for tops like tunics or blouses;
• A fitted jacket in denim or a boho chic style, with colourful embroidery, or entirely floral-printed can provide a lovely contrast with a long tunic.
• The shorts, featuring lace details, paired with a sleeveless blouse and flat sandals, is the bohemian formula for summer.
