Your appearance is a reflection of your personality, your lifestyle as well as the first thing that people notice about you.
Did you choose to adopt the Boho chic style out of conviction or simply because you love this fashion and what it stands for?
If you're looking for ideas to build up your wardrobe, don't leave: in this article, we will detail the Bohemian chic tendency, the clothing, and the accessories to choose from for a total boho chic look.
Boho fashion, gypsy, neohippies, all these terms that evoke the boho chic style ; a casual and elegant look in vogue among the population, the festival scene as well as on social media. It also is a very comfortable style for everyday wearing, which conveys values of freedom and harmony, in a rapidly changing world.
Originally, the Bohemian term was used to refer to the Romani people who came from the Bohemian region in the Czech Republic. A nomadic population, independent and on the bangs of society. The artists of the 19th century shared those social values with the Bohemians, values that were at odds with the bourgeoisie of that time. Little by little, the bohemian lost its wandering roots to represent the world of intellectuals and artists, followers of a counterculture.
It was during the hippie movement in the 1960s that the boho style really turned a new page. In opposition to the social conventions, the Bohemian culture and the resulting clothing trend were particularly developed. The bohemian style became a real way of life; cool and liberated. No more clothes that embrace our bodies: flowing and aerial dresses, embroideries, prints, bangs and ethnic accessories, all are well present and the look is as comfy as it is elegant.
Nowadays, the boho refers to an unconventional way of life, completely free and without caring about the future. Instead of material things, bohemians will prefer arts, nature and discovering the world. So, how about you: do you find yourself in this way of thinking?
The chic bohemian clothing style is adorned with vaporous, airy, floral or printed items. It favors above all natural fabrics and comfort such as: cotton, silk, velvet, muslin, linen... these are the bases of the style, as well as leather, suede and fur. Naturally, in order to avoid any animal cruelty, we opt for imitation leather or fake fur.
The Boho chic style plays by overlapping different layers of clothing, ethnic accessories as well as with jewelry variations. Preferably with soft natural colors such as white, beige, cream, brown or pastels and occasionally, more vivid colors (red, blue, green, orange, turquoise). Everything is possible, as long as the shades are present in nature.
What differentiates the bohemian chic style from its relative are the details: these are the sophisticated little extras bringing a touch of elegance to the outfit. We love the embroidered details, the beads, the lace, the silk, the ruffles, the buttoned sleeves, the shoelaces, the slit cuts and the carefully worked fabrics.
As a matter of fact, the boho chic style compensates the sometimes sloppy side of the bohemian style, which used to be criticized in the past. The Boho chic style trend reached its peak during the 2000s. Among the celebrities who perfectly embody this look: Nicole Ritchie, Sienne Miller and Kate Moss.
Revealing a piece of skin, an unbuttoned collar on a nice neckline, a bracelet falling on an ankle: these are all typical boho chic style subtleties. To sum up: we allow ourselves to dress a little more feminine and sexy while staying casual and comfortable.
Impossible to talk about the bohemian chic style without evoking jewelry 💍: Opt for ethnic jewelry of various styles and play with materials, sizes and shapes.
Accumulate various rings on one hand, decorated with pearls, stones or patterns.
Go for silver, leather, woven, Brazilian or wooden bracelets. For your lower arms opt for a metal or woven cuff.
Decorate your ears with dangling metal earrings, decorated with natural stones, feathers or leather to recall the Amerindian aspect.
Add several necklaces or sautoirs of different lengths, made of silver or aged metal with stone, shell or wood pendants for example.
A real boho chic look requires a bohemian hairstyle! Keep it natural, with wavy hair or loose braids with a fishtail French twist for example. A headband or a flowery bandeau in your hair will work just great. For a natural wavy look, use a styling mousse to create beautiful curls.
Take care of your skin tone: it should look absolutely natural and luminous. If you have some imperfections you can opt for a BB cream or a liquid foundation to blur them. Add a skin tone illuminator on the puffy zones and a pinkish blush on the cheeks. You can also add a bit of mascara, a dash of eyeliner and a touch of gloss or lipstick 💄 in peach tones for a 100% boho makeup.

At work, you can definitely go for the boho style. However, be careful not to overdo it. Avoid loose clothing or colorful patterns... Your style should not be too casual, or you may give the impression of being on a vacation. A more flowing look, a few embroideries may be all you need to achieve a bohemian look with a touch of delicacy. Favour slightly more sober and elegant outfits: lace, neutral shades and adjusted cuts that are a little more close to the body.
