9 MUST-HAVE ITEMS FOR A BOHO CHIC WARDROBE

What is considered boho style?

Boho style is characterized by long flowing or tiered skirts and dresses, peasant blouses, ethnic touches like tunics or wood jewelry, embroidery or embellishment with beading, fringed handbags, and jeweled or embellished flat sandals (or flat ankle boots). The look is often layered and colorful.
These boho wardrobe essentials are pieces you’ll love to wear that you can transition from season to season.

1. A maxi skirt or wide leg pants

A great maxi skirt or wide leg pants will be a piece that you turn to over and over again when crafting cool bohemian outfits.

HOW TO STYLE A BOHEMIAN FLOWY SKIRT OR WIDE LEG PANTS

• Bikini top, boho hat and chunky necklace with flats 

• Graphic tee, sandals, and a fringe bag
• Flowy blouse, belt, and your favorite jewelry 
• Chunky knit, cowboy boots, and a belt 

2. A unique maxi dress

Need a wardrobe refresh? A printed maxi dress or skirt can take your look to the next level.

• Wear a printed maxi with chunky jewelry and wedge sandals for a perfect date night look.

• Try a denim vest with a printed maxi to make it a bit more casual.
• Add a distressed sweater to turn the dress into a skirt. Finish with ankle boots.

3. Faux leather sandals

Boho leather sandals are truly a godsend. They’re the perfect choice for any warm weather occasion — they’re summery and light, yet they still look polished and fashionable.

Look for styles that are easy to slip on and off for maximum versatility. There’s nothing more annoying than a pair of shoes that take five minutes to get on and off!

4. Flowy blouses

A boho blouse is easy to wear with jeans, maxi skirts, or shorts. Whether you prefer a tank top style or floral print bohemian design, these effortlessly stylish tops are essential for any minimalist boho capsule wardrobe. 

5. Crop tops and/or breezy, loose tank

Breezy, strappy, effortless little tops are one of the first things that comes to mind when I think of bohemian style.

6. Eclectic, layered jewelry

If you’re worried about wearing the same items over and over again, wear boho jewelry like chunky necklaces or a turquoise ring to switch things up.

7. A hippie-chic purse

Whether you prefer distressed leather or cloth, fringe or suede, a tiny cross-body or an oversized hobo bag, having a reliable and fantastic bohemian purse is key to tying your outfit all together.

8. A long sleeve top

9. Flared Jeans

• Flared denim has a way of making certain pairs of shoes look fantastic. My favorite thing to wear with bell bottoms is a pair of high heeled boots. Bell bottoms also look fab with platform sandals, flat sandals, or wedges.

• Pair flared jeans with a crocheted sweater and a big, colorful scarf. Finish with a top knot and a huge pair of sunnies.
