10 Ways to Welcome Boho Style Into Your Wardrobe

Introduce Patterns

Have you considered moving away from block colours and introducing a bit of pizzazz to your wardrobe? Floral prints, tie dye patterns and nature-inspired tribal prints are all very typical of boho style and are the perfect way to add a little bohemian chic into your everyday wear!

Are jeans a staple item in your wardrobe? Opt for a patterned top in a bold scarf print, incorporating a chic fedora and some ankle boots to really finish off the whole look. Alternatively, you can effortlessly wear floral wrap dresses season after season with winter boots or summer sandals. 

Accessories Are Key

Whether you’re just adding a bohemian touch or wanting to create a whole boho inspired look, we know that accessories are always key! From oversized sunglasses to layering beads, it is a sure way to transform your outfit from drab to fab.

Handcrafted items and natural materials such as leather and wooden beads will create a classic boho look — the more individual and unique your accessories are, the better. Hoop earrings and a leather bag will effortlessly bring your outfit to life!

In the cooler months, consider layering over a paisley wrap or poncho to keep out the cold and pair with tan fedora to bring a little boho chic to any outfit.

Maxi-Mise Your Look!

Maxi skirts, maxi dresses or palazzo pants — anything that is long and flowy is a step in the direction of classic boho chic! Wear a maxi skirt traditionally with a vest top and blue jean jacket for an easy summer ensemble or switch it up with a loose semi-sheer cover up.

If you’re opting for loose-on-loose, always add a bit of structure to your outfit. This can be done using accessories such as your shoes and handbag. A structured handbag made from natural materials is a great addition to a floaty outfit.

Choose A Beautiful Bohemian Dress

From funky prints to floaty maxi dresses and earthy tones, a boho dress is arguably one of the easiest ways you can add bohemian vibes to your wardrobe. Opting for a dress with bell sleeves will truly encapsulate your boho dreams.

You can effortlessly style out your dress all year long by wearing strappy sandals throughout the summer and switching to ankle boots if the weather begins to change. A chunky knitted cardigan is perfect for layering and can also look fabulous thrown across your shoulders when the chilly evenings set in.

Captivating Crochet

Crochet is cute, charming and a huge part of the boho look. There are an abundance of ways crochet can be effortlessly added to any outfit to completely transform it for a whimsical and quirky look . Choose a cardigan or even a top to add a bounce of boho flair.

Additionally, a dress with simple crochet can be layered on top of your favourite swimsuit. If you’re looking to add just a touch of boho chic, a crochet bag is a great way to add a little to your look.

Embrace Embroidery

Embroidery detail is a great way to add a touch of bohemian charm to any outfit. Whether it’s layering on an embellished jacket or subtle stitching to a simple style, it can really help to elevate any boho chic look.

We always recommending choosing something timeless, that you can wear again and again, as the great thing with a bohemian look is that it will never go out of style.

Vintage Tees Are A Must

Are you looking to add boho touches to your outfit, without the floaty materials and embellishments? A great way to give a nod to the era without going all out is by using vintage band tees. The trend kicked off in the 60s and 70s and you can easily express your artsy self through these t-shirts!

Wear your vintage graphic t-shirt with flared jeans and ankle boots for a complete boho makeover, or integrate it into your everyday look by simply tucking it into your favourite pair of trousers or skinny jeans.

Embrace The Earthy Hues

We know that natural materials make for a fabulous boho outfit, and earth tones are a key element too. If you don’t love the loud bright colours, take advantage of the golds, creams, browns and soft greens that speak the boho style.

Natural coloured leather accessories, such as shoes and handbags in a brown or tan colour match perfectly with this earthy feel. Keep it modern and stylish with a structured leather handbag or choose a more natural style to truly complete your boho look.

Layer Up With Slouchy Cardigans & Knits

A slouchy cardigan makes the perfect layering companion for almost any outfit. Keeping you warm throughout the winter and perfect as the sun sets during the summer. Choose an oversized look and feel to keep with the bohemian style.

Wear your comfy and cosy knitwear over the top of any of your favourite boho pieces, from flared jeans and floaty tops to floor length dresses and gladiator sandals. Wool knitted items are ideal for that natural and earthy feel!

Walk The Line with Ankle Boots

Boots are the perfect piece of footwear for all year round. They can also be the perfect match for your fringed leather handbag and cream boho dress.

Boots with straps, lace detail and embroidery are the ideal boho accessory. However, if you’re wanting a more dramatic approach, knee-high boots or patchwork pumps will make sure you achieve the same fabulous look!

Free Floaty Fabrics

Loose and floaty fabrics are the epitome of the boho vibe, so the easiest way to achieve the look is through flowy scarf tops and dresses. An asymmetric cut to your floaty tops and dresses can give your whole ensemble a more artsy look and feel.

Focus on the quality and size of your boho items as they can easily make you look more hippie than boho chic if not fitted correctly and made from cheap materials. With oversized flowy materials, a v-neck can often be the most flattering as it can draw your eye to the centre of your body to make you look tall and lean.
