The bohemian style brings to mind the bellbottoms, tie-dye, and patchwork, but there's much more to this fashion trend than that. Bohemian style impeccably mixes together the inspiration of the 1960s-flower-child with modern-day. Celebrities begun to wear it on red carpet on big occasions like Vanessa Hudgens, Sienna Miller, and the Olsen twins. Even Nicole Richie makes hippie chic work with maternity wear. If you want to go Boho, here are some tips on choosing the right Boho clothes for you.
Tops: Bohemian style tops/t-shirts/shirts can be of any length, there is no particular length. They can be knee-length or as short as you want them to go. They are characteristically loose, free-flowing tops that can be made to easily fit all body types. They are usually made of soft fabric, mostly cottons and linen, which makes them perfect for summer and can have bold, beautiful patterns of floral designs, tribal designs or designs that portray ancient Chinese history or Indian motifs. They often have puffed sleeves, or can also be off-shouldered, depending on your personal style.
Skirts: The true Bohemian look comes through in skirts. Usually the length of the skirts is long, till the ankles, in gypsy-like fashion. They are available with patchwork, mirror work, bold tribal and animal designs or multi-layered and multi colored and frilled styles. These skirts could also have some beautiful hand-made embroidery on them. Ethnic Boho skirts with ruffles and layers are an excellent choice for a Bohemian makeover.
Lowers: There are many different options besides skirts to cover the lower part of your body like leggings, bell bottoms, gauchos and Arabic style pajamas. These options won't look good on all body types, so if you are a little skeptical about wearing these lowers, then you could go for high waist boot cut jeans, bell bottoms and Arabic style pajamas or harem pants available in tribal patterns, floral designs or plain colors. Military fatigues are also a good option for a Bohemian look.
Footwear: Normally, in this style, the footwear is flat or with very little heels. They too can come decorated with colored mirror work and patchwork. Stilettos and high-heeled boots are a complete mismatch for a Bohemian look, so simply forget them!
Accessories: Accessories are a big part of the Bohemian get-up. The Bohemian look is incomplete without these. Long necklaces, large earrings, colorful and crazy bangles will all blend in really well with Bohemian clothes. Scarves and bandanas are some of the more common Boho accessories that don't only gel with the Bohemian style but with several others, too. Don't wear anything made from plastic or unnatural material. That's a complete NO-NO for the Bohemian look. Wear anything made out of wood, wool, metal, glass or stone. Opt for cloth bags rather than the leather or synthetic material variety. Glam your cloth bag with lots of mirror work, patchwork and beads.
And last but not the least; remember that the secret of boho clothing is to get layered! It makes perfect sense for it creates almost every bohemian clothing style possible. Keep that feminine, modern, free-spirited feel without sacrificing comfort. Go boho today!
