After the French revolution, Bohemian culture materialized in France. Boho style is still trending, so here are 5 ways to dress boho.
What is boho style exactly?
Old school Bohemians were French nomads and artists. They were often poor and their clothes were old. This same style of dress was also popular in the ’60s among free spirits and hippies.
Boho chic style has since evolved into something more sophisticated. Here are 5 simple ways to pull off the boho style.
1. Boho Style: Go with the Flow
The designers prioritize comfort. Boho style clothing shouldn’t restrict your movement.
Boho style dresses are usually long and flowing. When most people think of boho style, maxi dresses come to mind.
You can wear long skirts with fitted or flowy tops. Peasant-style tops and poet blouses well with these skirts.
Loose-fitting, long sweaters also give off the boho vibe.
2. Keep It Natural
Boho chic style has an organic feel to it. Keep everything natural when it comes to style.
Focus on the earth tones you’d find in nature. These colors give your appearance a more natural feel and exude the boho vibe.
(Note: Some boho looks include deep colors and warm tones. Flower prints and paisley are also very bohemian. Avoid neon colors.)
Consider doing your makeup with more natural tones. If you can, wear as little makeup as possible.
Let your hair down and let it flow. Keep your hair looking neat and natural.
Boho clothes are usually made of natural fabrics. Look for garments made of cotton, denim, velvet, linen, chiffon, fur, silk, suede, leather, etc. If you are vegan, substitute fabrics that use animal products for vegan-friendly alternatives.
3. Accessorize
Certain accessories will help you pull off the boho look more than others. For instance, necklaces with natural crystals, beads, or peace signs are more boho than a spiked collar.
