6 ways to welcome boho style into your wardrobe
Boho style is all the rage right now, and for good reason! It’s a comfortable, stylish and unique style that embraces the very best of your personality. If you’re looking to add some style and creativity to your boho wardrobe, check out these 6 ideas.
1: Wear colourful, flowing dresses
Colourful, flowing dresses are a staple of the boho style. Boho is actually characterised by long flowing or tiered skirts and dresses, with natural and creative designs that highlight the artsy in you. For this reason, colourful, flowing dresses are a must-have in your boho wardrobe.
These fits are some great inspo:
The Palesa V Dress is a gorgeous design in a beautiful sunset patchwork print that'll make you stand out. It's the kind of long, flowing dress that makes you feel like you're walking the catwalk.
The Ripple Wrap Dress is an absolutely gorgeous bohemian piece. Its darker blue tones are breath-taking, with a little touch of gold for added impact. Who wouldn't love this wrap style?
We can’t get enough of this Crimson Night Wrap Dress. Its gorgeous paisley design makes this an ideal bohemian staple, and its fit is truly irresistible. Perfect for all occasions.
2: Add some prints to your style
Moving away from block colours and introducing unique and eye-catching prints is a good way to achieve a boho chic look. Floral prints, tie dye patterns and nature-inspired tribal prints are typical of the boho style and are the perfect way to incorporate some boho flare into your look. It’s all about being artsy so don’t hold back - as long as the design feels comfortable for you, that’s all that matters!
This Camilla Top features a gorgeous print, with floral designs in lovely tones. It’s the kind of print that’ll draw attention to your look and make you stand out from any crowd.
3: Wear natural fabrics
The bohemian style is all about evoking thoughts of nature, which is why natural fabrics are a go-to for your wardrobe. Hemp is a favourite, but unprocessed cotton, linen, wool, silk and mohair are still great fabric options.

4: Accessorise your outfits
Layering is a big theme for the boho style and this is so easy to achieve through accessories such as jewellery, headscarves, bags, scarves and even beanies. Depending on what season you’re in, you’ll have a range of options at your disposal. But one thing you can do in any season? Wear layered jewellery in the form of multiple rings, necklaces and even a stack of bracelets. Just take a glance at how these looks have used accessories to achieve a super cute boho chic style:

5: Mix and match colours and prints to create your own unique look
Mixing prints and colours isn’t as scary as it seems. In fact, it’s actually coming back into style. Which means you have a lot of freedom in your look, especially when it comes to the artsy, creative trend of boho. Mix and match colours and/or prints to create a unique look that speaks volumes for your personality. But keep in mind that it’s all about you and what you feel comfortable in: don’t feel like you need to stick to a strict design scheme! Just follow what you feel confident in and you’ll be turning heads in no time.

6: Wear earth-toned colours
Similarly to wearing natural fabrics, earthy tones are a must-have when it comes to styling your boho wardrobe. They evoke thoughts and feelings of nature, where bohemian roots begin, and are a great way to accentuate any look. It can also help you in the morning when you’re choosing an outfit - think of what elements you want to incorporate and work with earth-toned colours that suit these elements.
