“Boho-chic is a style of female fashion drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences. It has been seen since the early 1990s and, although appearing to [fade away] from time to time, has repeatedly re-surfaced in varying [likenesses]. Many elements of boho-chic became popular in the late 1960s and some date back much further, being associated, for example, with pre-Raphaelite women of the mid-to-late 19th century.”

Now that you’ve had your summer history lesson, let me help you get the style trend of the summer, Boho Chic!

Here are some key pieces to start with:

Maxi Dresses & Skirts

  • Hi-low & full length

Embroidered Dresses

  • Lace, Crochet & Silk

Loose Fitting Tops & Sweaters

  • Cotton, Chambray & Silk    

Jean Shorts

  • Any length or shade

Colored Pants

  • Bright & Vibrant. “Palazzo” & “Harem” pants are my favorite. “Jeggings” are also comfortable and stylish.
Rompers, Jumpsuits & Overalls
  • Quick & effortless outfits

Accessories
     
High Heels

  • Booties, Wedge & Platform
Sandals
  • Strappy, Gladiators & Flip Flops
Canvas Shoes
  • Any color or design
Sunglasses
  • Try using old fashioned frames. Large sizes & metallic colors are nice to find as well.

Rings

  • All sizes, shapes & colors

Bracelets

  • Stack them!!!! You can never have enough!

Necklaces

  • Pair together & play with mixed metals. Any length works.

Hats

  • Floppy & Fedora

Hair

  • Let it be free! Natural hair always works for this style. A messy ponytail, bun or soft waves is good for medium to long hair lengths.


Tip:
Make it your own. Mix pieces together & see what you get. Dress for yourself not for others! What makes you feel gorgeous is the only thing that matters!

With Love,
Christian
