The word Bohemian or more accurately, Boho, describes the free-spirited attitude, creativity, and carefree style. Just like the original travelers or gypsies from early Europe around the early 20th century, the Boho-chic represents a fashion style from the 21st century with floral skirts, nomadic and gypsy styled colors and accessories including jewelry.
The Boho style is not a fashion statement per se but a life style. It’s a celebration of individualism and your own expression of freedom and free-flowing nature of the essence of Boho because they do not conform to social norms. The basic Boho style includes loose, lightweight, and comfortable. Some examples include loose tops, caftan, loose flared jeans or trousers, huge sweaters, Maxi dresses, and Maxi skirts. Some of the more popular and distinct brands include lace, embroidery, ethnic prints, crochet, earthy tones, dream catchers, metallic, feathers, tassels, and patterns.
Here are five must have items to create the Boho chic style:
Hair styles – there are many styles from which to choose from so you can’t go wrong. The most important aspect to the hair style is to relax it and let it be a little disheveled whether it’s medium or long length hair. This may include waves, braids, and accessories – just the messy and carefree look.
For example, why not try to have thick braids with a scarf, experiment using waves and braids or just add feathers, vintage brooches, vintage necklace, long hair with big curls, bandana with updos, ribbon braided hairstyle with rose crown, brunette ombre, messy side braid, and the traditional Boho pony tail.
Boho Jewelry – there is the chunky jewelry that must be selected and might include belts, floppy hats, feather clips, long necklaces, hoop earrings, bangles, sling bags, and bracelets to name a few. It all comes down to layering and experimenting and finding yourself with being able to express your tastes and attitude.
Comfortable shoes – for Bohos, their footwear is always comfortable and in earth hues. They have pairs of shoes that are fashionably low-key and rustic. You’ll find that most enjoy flat sandals, gladiator sandals, ankle boots, cowboy boots, and wedges.
Maxi skirt – since there are no rules or conformities to style, try something different and test it out depending on your body style and personal tastes. Most importantly, dress comfortably and compliment your own body type or just mix and match until it clicks – not flashy or expensive but happy go luckily. Maxi skirts are long flowy skirts with free-flowing hems that reach down to your ankles. These are very comfortable and jazzy.
Blouses and T-shirts – the tunic tops are one of the first things that get noticed as being Boho style. There are peasant tops but they are not as popular but are associated with the girls with earthy styles instead and may include embroidered tops too. The perfect combo could include leggings, knee high boots, and a scarf with a tunic.
