Boho Chic - How to get the look

The Bohemian look is one of the most interesting fashion styles of today but it requires a great fashion sense to be able to put the right pieces together. So here are our hot tips to help you achieve boho chic style, so that you can create your very own enviable look.

The bohemian fashion style or boho for short is characterised by casual wear with a certain hippie style touch that gives an allure of vintage. The boho style is easy to achieve and looks absolutely fabulous. The muses of this fashion style and the sources of inspiration when it comes to how to dress boho chic are Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton, as they are with out a doubt the trendsetters.

The bohemian fashion style is quite unconventional and is a combination of folk; punk, hippie and modern chic fashion style all rolled in to one.

Combining designer outfits with vintage style fashion items is the secret. Bandanas, short leather jackets, casual jeans, oversized blouses, printed blouses, fringes and accessories are the essential basics to create this incredible looking fashion style.

Long gypsy style skirts, vaporous dresses, floral printed outfits, patchwork and simple t-shirts are just perfect.

Shoes too are very important. Whether you opt for comfortable flats; gladiator sandals, flip flops, leather cowboy style boots or platform shoes they complete the bohemian style beautifully.

Try to be unique when putting your outfits together and - ‘don’t forget to express your femininity’. Accessories are equally important when it comes to boho chic style, (so our advice is ‘don’t neglect them’). Hats, belts, bracelets, bangles (lots of them) and long necklaces with a vintage style work beautifully to add that finishing touch.

Why not take a look at our range of Boho chic scarves from Bellarina and Rie Elise Larsen, necklaces from Hultquist, rings by Cindy Ashbridge, belts and buckles from Butterfly Bluebags by Nkuku and Aspiga flip flops.

Sienna Miller is one of the hottest style trendsetters to hit the fashion scene in a long time. She always looks fabulous in whatever bohemian inspired outfit she manages to pull together (with or without Jude Law on her arm).

Sienna has a knack of taking traditional pieces and wearing them in unconventional ways, take inspiration from Sienna and change things up to give your outfit a fresh look, whether it be just a simple change, such as tieing a scarf round the hips of your jeans instead of wearing a belt.

The basics of Sienna’s fabulous look are simple and even the smallest aspects of it could easily be added to your own style repertoire.

Just like fellow boho-princess Kate Moss, Sienna can pull off the most rag muffin-esque ensemble as if it were couture. She was a trailblazer in popularising dresses over jeans, tights under dresses, layered jewellery, and a bundle of unique boots (Uggs, Mukluks, moccasins, and cowboy boots).

“Clothes don’t have to be expensive. But always look out for quality. Invest in one really good basic rather than wasting money on five shabby tops.” — Sienna Miller, in Italian magazine ‘Donna’.
Never try too hard. Start with a sun dress, add jeans or tights underneath, and toss a skinny jacket over. To pull the outfit together, a strand of bold beads, a wide rustic belt, and perfectly worn-in boots or stylish flip flops to complete the look.

When shopping for clothes, look for long flowing prairie skirts, denim minis, and ruffled tops. Pair those with vintage cowboy boots that can also be worn over a tight fitting pair of blue jeans.

Lastly, don’t forget to properly accessorise. Sienna loves over-sized sunglasses - the bigger the better. Add a few long beaded necklaces or a boho scarf and your ensemble will be complete. In no time at all, you’ll be sporting your very own Bohemian inspired look!

For big nights, Sienna chooses breezy, ethereal designer gowns mixed up with a tangle of necklaces, an armful of bangles, or eye-catching earrings - just one accessory, to keep the vibe carefree. Metallic heels and glitzy purses usually cap off the look.

Of course, by the time the rest of us catch up, Sienna will likely be on to her next fashion incarnation.
