Where the term " Boho" derived from?

The term "Boho" comes from an abbreviation of the word bohemian and now refers to a variety of meanings. When it was originally coined, Bohemians were travellers or refugees that came from central Europe but we've taken this idea and stretched its meaning over time.

Position of boho fashion

By looking at the Boho chic movement, you can see how it is an inspiration to many people in terms of bohemian fashion. You might think that this boho chic clothing has no place in society today but surprisingly enough, we have seen so much and still want more from these looks which are original and youthful with a natural appreciation for beauty.

The keys for bohemian clothing

The key for this trend is earthy tones. The colours include burnt oranges, magentas and greens to provide the perfect colour palette that has an earthy feel. Boho fashion collection basics includes long 'floaty' party dresses, maxi dresses, spaghetti strap, cut-off shorts with furry gilets, embroidered tops,  vintage jacket, gorgeous kimonos, sweaters with lace, festival style cropped jackets with large faux coin belts with embroidery, boots made of sheepskin (UGG) or sandals with tassles and "hobo bags."

From casual to bohemian chic

Bohemian style sandals are a great way to beat the summer heat! I love how we can take any outfit from the wardrobe, from casual chic, to bohemian chic. Neutral tones will always be my go-to but adding pops of cute colour is such an easy and fun way for me make this trend work for me.

What to wear to achieve a bohemian style

Search for your wardrobe a turquoise pants, a summer boho tops with lace, crop tops, put together things from your favorite styles that you didn't really wear from the last shopping. Live free! Love free! And let's not forget that being barefoot is essential when trying on these shoes because it makes them so comfortable and sustainable.

Make-up for bohemian fashion

Brace yourself, because this is going to be some serious makeup advice. First and foremost: stop wearing so much eyeliner! I know it's tempting but trust me when you're choosing the right look for an event or party go with a more natural eye shadow (that still packs colour) paired up with nude lips- which are perfect if your skin tone falls into that category. Now let's talk about blush style; according to fashion guru Jen Atkin, "light pink blusher can add youthful radiance for women." And now onto lip balm...do not spend money on expensive beauty products like lipstick--go straight to all natural stuff by using just pure organic honey as a base for luscious lips. This is the idea of achieving freedom through what you wear! Remember: live free for bohemian style!

Boho chic accessories

The Boho chic trend is all about freedom, creativity and individuality. It's not about new arrivals or the latest trends. As such there are no rules or guidelines to follow when it comes to this style of outfits- so you should feel free to accessorise with boho chic fashion as much as you want! The collection often have been inspired by nature ( I know this sounds so hippie), made from natural materials like wooden bangles, ankle bracelets, unique rings and cute shell earrings. Dangling feather necklaces will also provide a touch of glamour while giving off that bohemian vibe we're going for here - so show them all off at the same time (to create unique looks) then mix-and-match these items in order to experiment with different combinations; they have to be worn in an adventurous way! Let your inner stylist come alive!

Boho clothing: Vintage

There are many styles of bohemian clothing that you can wear, but my favourites are vintage because it is sustainable and up-cycled, the clothes come from an era where people were more environmentally conscious. After all bohemian style is about life style, live that way from your closet!

Example of boho queen

Sienna Miller made the bohemian flair popular after her appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2004. This was all before we knew she dated Jude Law and I mean, who could compete with that? Her sister, designer Savannah Miller has described a “real bohemian” as someone who can appreciate beauty on a deep level; they're also profound romantics without any limits. Basically it's like living out our wildest fantasies of walking barefoot through grassy fields or taking long walks to nowhere when you know exactly where your destination is going to be ( I know this sounds sooooooooooooooo hippie! ) - these are people whose worlds are their own creations rather than being boxed up by society's expectations or the latest trend.

Revival of Fashion Freedom

The appeal of boho-influenced a revival in fashion freedom and drew the focus away from the high-street stores, young women showed off their creative expression with their summer fashion wardrobes.

Mood boards that have been created recently by bohemian influencers such as Anna Dello Russo show an interesting take on how to wear this season’s trends without sacrificing your personal style or personality.

Create your unique style

Bohemianism is a lifestyle where people can express their individuality and artistic expression in the company of like-minded individuals. The beauty of this way of life is that it respects nature by living off what earth has to offer, which benefits those free spirited or wandering hearts.

Get over the top, Live free!

For those who are looking for something that's different, free from society’s chains: wanderers and vagabonds on the pursuit of happiness. For these adventurers, they can go explore their literary pursuits without being tied down by any obligation to a job or place because they're independent workers with no boss but themselves!

Boho Style in other ways

Music is in many ways the key to our souls, and there's no better showcase of this than through the Boho movement. The simple instruments used such as drums, tambourines and basic flutes have been a staple throughout history for bohemian style musicians themselves—from Jimi Hendrix all the way back to Mozart. It was because of these very same tools that we get music festivals--which are an iconic example of what it means to be "Boholic."

Boho and Gypsy

In Europe, there is a genre called "Gypsy Jazz" that also a very sign to represent bohemian styles in music! Not only do they inspire boho chic fashion trends but also provide great memories from some amazing times with friends!

The style with no label

You can't really put a label on what it means to live the artistic life, but for those of us who do have an intellectual or creative inclination we know that's exactly how we want our lives to be.

Let it shine in your outfits

Tired of the same old thing for your wardrobe? Get creative! Start to do mix-and-match! Pair up your beach skirts with your cute sweaters. Put some lace on your shoes. Let the boho clothing go without limit!

Boho Chic clothing isn't a dream

To be non-materialistic, art-focused and have an untamed desire to travel is not something that's easy or desirable in our society but it has inspired us nonetheless. We hope you'll find new inspiration from what BOHO CHIC lifestyle has done for ours - whether it was through clothes or just being a little more mindful about how many things you buy each day…
