It encapsulates the perfect blend of contemporary fashion trends, and yet it is modestly elegant. Boho-chic styling is undeniably dainty and sleek but is still power dressing, most adorned by free-spirited. 

 

 

A little bit of boho-chic history 

 

When people think of bohemian clothing, they more than likely picture hippies and the 1970s - warm and neutral tones, feather earrings, and retro patterns. But, bohemian style isn't just an Instagram trend - it is a full-blown culture with a history and story - a counter-culture formed in the 19th century. The Boho style that we love today leans more towards a free-spirited, effortless style that transcends a liberated society, rejecting materialism and greed - while serving up fire fashion statements. 

 

Boho-chic is an unconventional way to show you are a hopeless romantic, a lover of the world with a craving for wanderlust and a desire to express your individuality. But your Boho-chic love doesn't have to pause just because Summer is nearing an end. Just a heads up - you don't have to fully embrace every aspect of the 70s to pull off the boho look unless that appeals to you. Boho-chic can be carried through all seasons, meaning you never have to pack up your favorite boho pieces. You need to know what to wear, how to wear it, and when - that way, you'll be a boho queen all year round, no matter the weather or the season. 

 

Creating bohemian looks for every season doesn't have to be a daunting task that seems impossible. As long as you have a few key pieces, are open-minded, and have a flare of creativity alongside a can-do attitude, there is no reason why you can't rock the bohemian style all year round.   

 

Think of this blog as your ultimate guide to dressing perfectly boho all year round - your boho-chic 101. Whether it's Summer, Autumn, Winter, or Spring - bohemian fashion is outrightly relaxed.
