Mixing Ton Style: The Kimono for a Chic Boho Look.

The bohemian style is more than just a fashion trend; it's a full-fledged culture with its own unique ideology and complex history. While it is closely associated with the hippie fashion of the 1960s and 70s, today, bohemian fashion is part of the mainstream culture. In fact, bohemian fashion started as a counter-culture movement in the 19th century. Nowadays, the wide variety of clothing and Boho accessories makes it a genuine phenomenon—a style characterised by effortless and relaxed fashion, with its loose-fitting clothing, casual accessories, and a medley of artistic and creative elements.

Fashion labelled as bohemian embodies a lifestyle ideology that accompanies it: an alternative to the traditional way of dressing, linked to an equally alternative lifestyle, more free-spirited and a social stance against everything from materialism to societal constraints.

Features of Bohemian Clothing

Bohemian clothing focuses on comfort and simplicity. They are generally loose-fitting and often feature floral patterns and natural colours such as pastels.

The fabrics used for bohemian attire are natural fabrics like cotton, linen, or silk. In bohemian culture, using natural and environmentally friendly products is significant.

Boho outfits mainly consist of skirts, dresses, and light tops. What characterises the bohemian style the most are garments with floral prints, white dresses, comfortable clothing, and lace. All this is often combined with floral accessories and statement jewellery.

What about the kimono?

Well, the kimono takes a lot of clothing cues from bohemian culture. It is loose, often colourful with floral patterns, and made of high-quality natural fabrics (primarily silk).

Although the kimono originates from Japan, it can be worn for a unique bohemian style. The kimono also adds an exotic flair and a sense of open-mindedness to the world, perfectly aligning with bohemian culture. The kimono is increasingly embraced by bohemians as its style closely resembles that of the bohemian look. If you decide to try a kimono, we recommend pairing it with a beautiful flower crown and statement jewellery for a trendy hippie chic look.

We don’t have the contacts or expertise to sell high-quality Japanese kimonos at Boho Via, however, we have found for you the best French seller of Japanese kimonos. We especially love their range of floral kimonos, a must-have for an exotic hippie chic style.
