How to Dress in Bohemian Chic Style?

The bohemian chic style draws inspiration from the fashion of the seventies. It's all about wearing loose, comfortable clothing with floral or ethnic prints in warm colours, expertly accessorised to embody the bohemian silhouette. This style is essential, very feminine, fresh, and poetic. It is perfect for dreamy and free-spirited women who appreciate beautiful materials and light, colourful fabrics. Here’s an overview of different outfits to discover how to dress bohemian chic.

The Bohemian Dress

Often, it’s a long dress, ethereal, light, and colourful.

• Opt for warm tones, with brown and red being the preferred colours for a boho chic silhouette.
• Blue, particularly turquoise, pairs wonderfully with brown and is also very popular.

All shades of brown, from camel to caramel, including dark brown, are perfect. Purple is also on-trend, especially when combined with other tones. White is a staple in bohemian style. Thus, skirts in shades of white, off-white, or cream, or those with lace trimming, are particularly striking. Lace adds a touch of feminine elegance.
Dresses often feature ethnic prints or floral patterns. The fabric is lightweight, sometimes playful with sheerness and layering of light skirts. For a chic touch, the lace, as well as tulle or sequins, and embroidery, make the dress unmatched. It's a must-have piece in your wardrobe.
The dress is designed to be comfortable. It’s worn loose, even if the top fits closer to the body, while the skirt flares out and flows. The top can be round or v-neck, depending on your preference. Sometimes, a lovely lace-up or pom-poms embellish a V-neckline. The dress is suitable for all seasons; long-sleeved styles keep you dressed year-round, while lighter, shorter styles let you enjoy the sun in summer.

The Bohemian Skirt

Like the dress, the skirt is typically worn loose, flowing, light, and most often long. Floral prints or solid colours adorn light skirts. Layering can also be included. Your skirt adapts to the seasons and will be shorter in the summer.

Decorated with lace, a pretty leather belt, sequins, or simply styled, the skirt pairs beautifully with a blouse, a tunic, a lovely white shirt, or a light denim jacket. Together with the dress, these will be the main pieces in your bohemian chic wardrobe. Trousers are not off-limits in this style. However, opt for a faded jean that you can accessorise. It’s the skirts and dresses that bring charm to this distinctively feminine style. Regardless of your body shape, the long bohemian skirt will enhance your figure.

The Bohemian Blouse

The bohemian blouse is absolutely essential! It pairs beautifully with a skirt, jeans, or even denim shorts adorned with lace. It’s a top so comfortable you won’t want to take it off.
Feminine, the blouse can be solid, floral, or printed with ethnic designs. It often features playful details: decorated with embroidery, little pom-poms, fringes, or lace. A more understated piece in white, for example, might be made from a blend of materials, such as tulle or lace.
Romantic when it has a country flair, or mysterious when it comes in iridescent colours, it is often worn quite short. Sleeves are typically wide or tapered at the ends, sometimes having frills. These sleeves can even be cut asymmetrically for added charm. The neckline, whether V-shaped or round, often features a tie with small ornaments like pom-poms.
This fluid and light top is a must-have in both spring and autumn. Short-sleeved blouses will accompany you in summer as well. The beauty of the blouse is that it suits all body types since flared styles can hide small curves.

TUNIC AND BOHEMIAN BLOUSE

The Bohemian Tunic

Long and comfortable, the bohemian chic tunic is a feminine and trendy top. White models with openwork sleeves or solid ones with fringes are very popular. However, the tunic is constantly reinventing itself to keep up with your desires. Colourful, printed or tie-dye options, simple or embellished with beads, embroidery, or charms, are available in endless variations. Usually worn loose, it can be easily cinched at the waist with a pretty belt.
Spacious and pleasant to wear, it flatters every silhouette. It looks particularly striking over jeans or shorts, or with solid trousers.

Bohemian Jewellery

They're perfect for adding style to any outfit. If your style is rather classic, they will add a touch of whimsy, but with a bohemian outfit, they will embellish it even more.

• Necklaces: Long necklaces featuring large strings of colourful beads or chains adorned with feathers or small stones are preferred. Feathers and turquoise or brown stones are often worn as pendants along with more ornate or openwork pieces. Silver is also trending for chains and other adornments;
• Bracelets: Multi-layered and made from various materials, they've been in vogue for several years. Mixed with beads, ribbons, charms, cords, stones, and shells, they're often worn in multiples to elegantly adorn your wrists;
• Earrings: Metal hoops, decorated with feathers or beautiful stones, highlight the contours of your face;
• Rings: Often in silver tone and adorned with large stones, rings are an essential and always trendy accessory.

Dressing bohemian chic, the little extras for an unmatched style

• A touch of white always pairs well with a more colourful piece. For example, a white blouse or shirt with a multicolour skirt gives an elegant look;
• A headband adds style to your silhouette and enhances the bohemian vibe. You might also adorn your hair with a large flower attached to a hair clip for a bold hippie look;

• Ankle boots: leather ankle boots with pretty cut-outs pair beautifully with your long dresses or skirts;
