STYLE PERSONALITY

You probably have a great eye for colour and print and you love the relaxed style and the opportunity for creativity that Boho brings. When we create a look from a specific era, we always want to make it live in the modern day. The Boho dresser can marshal vintage finds and modern pieces in different colours and patterns and turn them into effortlessseeming outfits.

You could do this if...

1 You can be quite whimsical.

2 You love to wear print.

3 You love the seventies.

4 You like to stand out from the crowd.

Find the joy

It is impossible to dress Boho and be uptight. You don’t have to go with flowy items here, but the beauty of this style is that it will bring out your softer side. You can try out pattern clash and combinations that you have not tried before. I embrace this look when I want to feel slightly more feminine, as it is almost a safer way to feel slightly more sexy.

Print

The most important thing about wearing prints together is the silhoutte. Echo the shapes of the seventies. Embrace pattern clash. And be a magpie, drawing in different elements from different places. Boho women are good at unexpected combinations. Remember that you are looking for patterns that share two colours minimum and it’s easier to mix prints that are of a similar size.

Flow

Boho is all about flow not structure. The long line of a trouser, the drape of a blouse, long layered necklaces, these all add a soft feminine touch. There’s something deconstructed about it and never fussy. There’s nothing uptight about Boho, so a glowing face and slightly messy hair is better than anything too ‘done’, you should look as if you have just got out of bed with the best hair. A bright red lip and the Boho style don’t tend to suit each other.
