Bohemian Styles for Inspiration
Peasant Girl
Peasant girl boho chic is the feminine, romantic version of
bohemian chic. Long, flowing skirts, angelic
headbands, lace and embroidery characterize this style. Go for light
earthy colors and floral patterns. Think boho gypsy flamboyance.
Rugged Bohemian
The rugged boho fashion style often includes distressed denim cutoffs, leather
bomber jackets and cowboy
boots. Pair these elements with softer pieces like flowing bohemian
dresses and prairie skirts. Incorporate your bohemian look with a low
slung studded belt over a tunic. Look at cute cropped
trench jackets, rugged khaki parka-style coats, mini-dresses in luxe
fabrics like velvet or cashmere layered
over denim leggings.
Bohemian Luxe
The super chic version of the bohemian trend is the luxe look. A
real glammed up version of the basic
bohemian fashion style. Bohemian luxe includes a
mix of glamorous bohemian jewelry, faux fur, modern heels, maxi
dresses, loose jersey pants, dark colored bell bottoms and
designer vintage. Check out Rachel Zoe for inspiration.
Boho Luxe Grunge
Is a chicer updated grunge/boho style. This modern update
contains
all the mainstays of yesterday’s grunge incorporating flannel, plaid,
layers and leg warmers alongside today’s
sophisticated pieces, including capes, shawls and jackets. Mix vintage
clothes with grunge. Think Olsen
twins with an
unkempt approach to your wardrobe.
Boho Rock
Slouchy, hip, yet strong in style. Incorporate your bohemian style with a low slung
studded belt
over a tunic or by mixing your look with denim leggings, bandannas,
metallic items, micro minis, short shorts and tiny waist coats. Try
a newsboy cap mixed with a pirate shirt and artisan jewelry.
Ethnic Boho Chic
Look
for peasant skirts and flowing garments featuring Middle Eastern or
African influences, Go eclectic with a pair of new season
skinny
jeans with an ethnic inspired Indian kaftan or glam it up with
excessive neck
detailing on a Grecian dress. Pile on Moroccan bangles or other ethnic
jewelry for a finishing touch.
When
looking for boho fashion, go for flowing, light fabrics
with
ethnic or floral prints, embroidery, crotchet or fringe. Mix eras and styles.

accessories are key in achieving boho chic. It's about how you put it
together.
