Day to Day Boho

A comfy boho dress is your trusty companion for all your daily adventures. For everyday boho fashion trends, opt for a loose-fitting, breathable cotton dress and complete the look with  comfy sandals or trusty ankle boots for that effortless boho chic fashion style. 

Evening Events

Although boho style is often relaxed and comfy, it’s easy to bring sophistication to your boho dress with some clever styling. Slip into your heeled boots, drape yourself in bold statement jewellery like a chunky necklace and large hoop earrings and accessorise your way to evening boho chic fashion and glamour.

Festival Vibes

When we say boho style, it’s very hard not to picture festival outfits. Boho style, muddy field and music will forever go hand in hand. Floaty boho dresses in floral prints or fun textures are essential for packing in your weekend bag alongside your wellies. Layer up on cooler evenings with a cosy cardigan or trusty jacket, for a perfect day-to-night festival look.  And don’t forget the fun festival extras - because when else do you get to whip out body glitter and temporary tattoos?

Workwear

Blazers are your best friend when it comes to boho office outfits. Drape a tailored blazer over a floaty boho dress for a look that’s both casual and professional. Add subtle accessories like a simple pendant and stud earrings to add to the boho vibe. In warmer months, a floral boho dress paired with chic ballet flats makes for an irresistibly stylish yet comfortable office outfit.

Accessorising Your Boho Dress

A boho dress without accessories? Simply unthinkable. Adorn yourself with fringed crossbody bags, statement earrings and playful scarves to not just style up your boho dress, but also express your gorgeous personality.

Discover some handy expert tips and tricks to enhance your boho dressing style, because relaxed and fun-loving isn’t always easy to throw together.

Boho Prints

Navigating and styling boho prints can be an art form.  Choose a single colour bag and matching shoes to complement a printed dress for a look that’s put together with a relaxed boho flair. Why not layer up too? Try adding a denim waistcoat or a chunky cardigan for texture.

Boho Footwear

Don’t forget your feet! Boho, free-living fashion certainly doesn’t mean bare feet, as some may think. Tassel boots, wedge sandals, and ankle boots are the perfect way to finish a boho outfit, whether a dress, jeans or skirt.
