Boho is Back, But Not As You Know It - The Isla Bohemia Edit

Everyone knows boho is beloved at Joe Browns,  and now we've given the style an even fresher, freer revamp. Starring boho chic clothing staples like crochet tops and maxi dresses, reimagined with relaxation in mind. Think even flowier fabrics, even more natural textures and calming colours that feel like a breath of fresh air. Feel the waves of peace wash over you from the moment you step into an Isla Bohemia outfit.

We’re strong believers that clothes can be amazing mood boosters. We’ve talked before about how colourful clothes can bring an extra dose of joy to the day, but what if what you’re really seeking is a sense of calm? 

Boho styles are perfect for that laid-back feeling. The loose and flowing fabrics bring much-needed relief from the constraining feelings of modern life. Plus, we’ve used calming colours like dusky pinks and sky blues for that extra relaxing influence. 

Natural, earthy textures are another amazing way to feel grounded, which is why it’s handy that they’re also key to the boho look. Embrace the sensory enrichment of denim and crochet, contrasted with soft and swooshing skirts and silky wraps. 

Life can be stressful, but with free and flowing boho clothes, it gets just a little easier to move to your own rhythm. Choose bold patterns, colours and shapes to bring your unique touch to every look. With our Isla Bohemia edit, there’s freedom in every thread. 

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could be on holiday all the time? While jetting away every day isn’t quite realistic for most of us, beachy boho clothes can make you feel like you’re living the island life wherever you are. With colours that remind you of seas and sunsets, patterns inspired by exotic flowers and Moroccan markets, and fabrics that feel like ocean breeze, Isla Bohemia brings escape in the form of style.

Boho patterns are such fun to play with, whether they’re added through rustic embroidery or bold print. The Isla Bohemia edit is filled with small, rustic details. Floral patterns, geometric prints,  tassels, and more add those extra touches of charm that will make you fall in love with each piece.

No outfit is complete without a remarkable pair of shoes - unless you’re taking boho to the max and going barefoot, of course. To complete your boho look, try boots with all the details you love about the rest of the collection, including embroidered patterns and tassels. 

Bohemian edge is all about contrasting your calm, flowing boho clothes with more grungy or even punk-inspired pieces. Think a leather jacket over a maxi dress paired with bulky boots  or a crochet top with frayed jeans and a distressed denim jacket - a fabulous, best-of-both-worlds approach. 

Don’t panic that these distressed and edgy pieces will take away from that relaxed boho feel, though. Distressed denim and worn leather just offer another take on laid-back fashion that we like to call ‘lived-in luxe’.
