How did the boho style originate? It was a reaction to the established bourgeois system characterized by capitalism and norms. Bohemians were artists, intellectuals and writers who drew inspiration from the values and style of nomadic gipsies from the Bohemian region: Eastern Europe between Germany, Poland and Austria.
They wanted to go against the norm, and they also had little economic resources. In the middle of the 19th century, the Romantics took over. In the sixties there was a worldwide reaction triggered by the Vietnam War and environmentalism. So the hippie movement was born and brought the spirit of the Boheme to our days. This is why when we think of boho, we think of Woodstock and millennials reference with its many differences Coachella.

Leather Roman sandals look fabulous with a summer outfit, clumpy Ugg-style boots are great in winter, whilst heeled ankle boots teamed with leggings make your legs look extra long and toned. Tote all your items around in an over-sized bag such as a big leather hobo bag or shopper, and of course, no boho look is complete without a pair of stylish sunglasses perched on your head. Overdoing the layering is a classic mistake, when you try to combine too many elements without giving thought to the overall impression.
Forgetting to contrast looser items with fitted ones can also leave you looking like a badly wrapped Christmas present, as can merely throwing items together without thinking about your body shape. Once you realise that an effortlessly casual look requires lots of effort beforehand, then getting the boho-chic look right is simplicity itself. Limit your layering to a few essential items, and always aim for a co-ordinated whole. Mix fitted items with looser ones, and think about how to flaunt your best features whilst disguising your less favourable ones.

Part 1. Embrace bold colors. The bohemian style is all about having fun with your clothing. If you want to dress as a bohemian, you need to stay away from dull, all neutral outfits. Instead, start wearing pieces in vivid red, vibrant orange, and eye-catching turquoise.
Hunt for pieces with fun patterns. To embrace the bohemian style, remember that patterns are your best friend. Look for retro prints, tribal designs, and whimsical patterns. If you find pieces with fun patterns in crazy colors, even better!
Paisley, tie dye, and Suzani patterns are all must-haves for the bohemian wardrobe. Get floral. Any piece of clothing or accessory with flowers on it is perfect to achieve a bohemian look. Bold, colorful, show-stopping flowers are a staple in a bohemian wardrobe. Part 2. Wear loose-fitting pieces. Think breezy and natural. The bohemian style is all about relaxation, so avoid your skintight shirts or body-hugging dresses.
For women, look for billowing dresses and soft, flowing tops. For men, look for tunics, loose-fitting jackets and cardigans, and slouchy sweaters. If you do find a piece of clothing that feels bohemian but is a bit fitted, pair it with more gentle, loose-fitting clothing.
Buy things oversized. When in doubt, go a size up. When it comes to the bohemian style, there is no such thing as too big, too long, or too billowy.
Big, loose, draped, styles are key. Layer, then layer some more. Try a flowy dress over flared jeans, a tunic over pants and boots, or loose cardigan sweaters over anything. Part 3. Wear chunky jewelry. Big bracelets, long necklaces, and oversized rings are perfect. Combine multiple bangles on your wrist in different colors and materials.
Layer a few different necklaces. Pop on a large stone ring. Throw on a scarf. Like with the rest of your wardrobe, look for scarves in fun prints and bright colors.
