Bohemian style has been experiencing a resurgence recently with the release of movies such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Daisy Jones and The Six. There’s also revived appreciation for bands like Fleetwood Mac and, in turn, the boho style of icons like Stevie Nicks, Florence Welch, Janis Joplin and the Olsen twins.
The effortless, cool vibe of the bohemian style can be emulated quite easily by identifying the main components that contribute to the overall aesthetic. Bohemian style notably combines a mixture of fabrics, patterns, textures and colours to create its free-spirited look, and there are plenty of ways to work this into your wardrobe this season.
Mixing fabrics is a staple of the bohemian trend as you would see a lot of boho style icons mixing jeans with suede jackets, leather boots and crochet vests. We also see lovely linen dresses being paired with suede boots and sheer lace, giving a feminine bohemian touch. Chunky outerwear is perfect for a layer of added texture and volume, whether it’s a boxy coat or knitted cardigan.
Patterns are also a cornerstone of this aesthetic. Boho lovers are not scared of patterns, even mixing them boldly at times. You will see a lot of florals, paisley, geometric shapes and even stripes in this trend.
The bohemian style leans into textured fabrics without fear, flaunting fabrics like velvet, leather, and crochet. These textured fabrics create a point of interest and difference when styled against a maxi dress or jumpsuit of one fabric. The crochet vest and leather jacket are crowd favourites when upstyling a maxi dress!
Then, onto colour! The bohemian woman embraces colour from soft pastels to rich, grungy colours. You can see icons like Stevie Nicks loving the darker colours such as black, purple and red wine, while Donna Summer was a vision in bright greens, yellows, and golds. You can truly integrate almost any colour into your bohemian looks.
