Nomads are wanderers. They adapt to the cultures of the places they stay briefly. That’s how they develop their style sensibilities. Bold colors, busy prints, eye-catching embellishments, and maximalist silver jewelry- Bohemian fashion is anything but ordinary. The interesting part? It doesn’t get bracketed under the latest style fads. Boho is timeless and unabashedly fabulous!
These style thoughts will help you ace eclectic fashion just like a true gypsy!
Keep It Relaxed
A form-fitting look is not something acquired or appreciated in nomadic aesthetics. So, essentially, the outfits that look and feel relaxed get a tag of a boho done right. Loose-fit kurtas, maxi dresses, and flared skirts are some of the essentials which mirrors the carefree attitude of boho style.
But if you need to add some structure to the loose-fit outfit, you can tweak the boho rule of ‘relaxed to the core’ a bit. For example, pair the flowy skirt with a shapely top or add a belt to the bohemian-style shirt dress.
Flaunt Vibrant Colors
It’s easy to identify a bohemian flair. With colours, of course. Mustard, orange, rust, maroon, pink, indigo, and turquoise are some of the go-to hues that bring in the vibrancy factor.
The best way to master the art of color in boho fashion is blending the bright with subtle. For example, a white Chikankari top styled with a pink tie-dye skirt will keep the look balanced yet quirky. You can always mix contrasting tones to keep your look pretty and playful!
Detailing is Everything
Plain is rare in a bohemian avatar. Embellishment is what makes this style truly unique and inspiring. Intricate embroidery, colorful patchwork, reflective mirror work, and tassels work as the ‘essentials’ in free-spirited fashion.
While it is easy to get allured by such decorative accents, keeping it ‘thoughtful’ will keep the look from becoming overwhelming. That means avoid flaunting all the finishing touches at once.
Select just one statement piece and keep the rest of your outfit triumph silently. Think a plain midi dress layered with an embroidered denim jacket or your regular jeans-tee combo accentuated with a lovely mirror and tassel work bag!
More Jewelry, The Better
For a jewelry lover, flaunting the bohemian style comes pretty organically. You can stack different jewelry pieces and create a maximalist expression. Layered, detailed, colorful, and artsy; jewelry is the heart of boho fashion.
From beads, coins, cowrie shells, bells, to silver, the Banjara-style jewelry looks like a work of art. To play it subtle, you can always flaunt just one prominent trinket that screams boho aloud. For instance, picking the shoulder-dusted silver earrings and skipping the rest of the jewelry impresses and how!
Impress With Uncommon Accessories
The Boho-inspired look feels complete with earthy, handmade accessories ‘only’! The color-coded totes, threadwork potli bags, embroidered jholas, and mirror-detailed juttis- such rustic pieces feel authentic and folk-inspired.
Matching the boho outfit with boho accessories is a by-default style process. But adding a dash of rustic to the modern or understated avatar looks flamboyant. The LBD accentuated with a tasselled clutch- why not?
