1. Defining Bohemian Style

Artistic, relaxed, liberated..

Bohemian style is more than just a fashion trend – it’s an actual culture in its own right, one that comes with a very specific ideology and complicated history. While it’s closely associated with the hippie fashions of the 60s and 70s, these days, bohemian fashion is part of the mainstream culture. But fact is, boho fashion actually started out as a counterculture back in the 19th century. Today, the wide variety of boho clothing and accessories make the style an actual phenomenon, one that follows the lines of effortless, relaxed fashion, with its loose-fitted clothing items, casual accessories and overall artistic, creative mishmash of elements.      

The fashions labeled as bohemian represent the lifestyle ideology that comes with it: an alternative to the traditional way of dressing, paired up with an equally alternative, more liberated lifestyle and a social stance against everything from materialism to society’s constraints.

2. History of Bohemian Style

Bohemian style is defined as an alternative type of fashion, different from the mainstream trends of any given period in time. In fact, this exact definition applies to the entire history of the trend. Over 200 years ago, bohemian was a term referred to an exotic style sense, usually associated with the artists of the time, as well as with writers and certain eccentric intellectuals.   

The Beginnings

The first mention of the Bohemians dates at the end of the 18th century, during the time of the French Revolution. Back then, due to the social and economic climate, artists and creatives alike were forced to a life of poverty. As a result, the artists of the time started wearing used and old clothing. Soon after, once the economic climate stabilized, artists began expressing their creative side more through clothing – and more often than not, in eccentric and highly artistic ways.

The general perception of the era was that artists dressed similarly to nomadic gypsies, who had their origins in the Balkan area of Eastern Europe, in a region called Bohemia. As a result, ‘bohemian’ became synonym with a culture, or, better said, counterculture, associated with creativity, artistic expression, as well as disregard to social constructs and mainstream aesthetics.

The Romantics and French Bohemians

Towards the middle of the 19th century, the Romantics (intellectuals who identified with the Romantic art of the era) became associated with the French Bohemians. The groups started incorporating flowy garments, oriental-inspired clothing, medieval elements and colorful materials in their looks, as well as gypsy-inspired accessories and hair, old coats and distressed fabrics. While appreciated by many at the time, these details were all very different from the mainstream fashions of the era.

The Aesthetic Movement

With time, Bohemians’ style evolved considerably. What started as a necessity (dressing poorly due to poverty) became an ideology – one against materialism, pro communal living spaces, against social conventions and often against personal hygiene. Later on, the Bohemians took part in the Aesthetic Movement, which stood against the stiff corsets and crinolines of the era. As a result, the Aesthetic Movement followers embraced a new lifestyle and new style of clothing, focused on loose fits, hand embroideries and medieval-inspired designs. The literature and music of the time began referencing the newly-developed counterculture, with artists like Henri Murger and Puccini dedicating masterpieces to the Bohemians.

The Early 20th Century Bohemian Icons

In the early 20th century, designers started taking the bohemian fashion to the next level. Among them was Paul Poiret, who incorporated a variety of ethnic details into his designs, including Russian and Middle Eastern elements. Likewise, textile designer William Morris created a variety of patterns for both interior design and fashion, featuring lush floral prints, paisley and swirls, all intricate and highly ornamental.

The Hippie Era

The Bohemian Movement took a new meaning in the 1960s, one that was about to change the definition of fashion. Back when the Hippie Movement stood against conventional lifestyles, new clothing styles including ethnic dresses, embroideries, mixed prints, volume, fringe and flared silhouettes started getting popular. The hippies rejected everything from mainstream values to materialism, and from established institutions to social constructs, which was apparent in their fashion choices that went against the streamlined, polished and classy silhouettes of the previous decade.

3. A Bohemian Capsule Wardrobe: 20 Must-Haves

If you are looking forward to starting a bohemian wardrobe, a capsule collection filled with boho staples is a great kick-off point. What you need is no more than 20 essential key pieces you can mix and match easily. Because, fact is, the good news about going the bohemian route is that almost everything matches everything. From tops to bottoms and from outerwear to accessories and one-pieces, here is our example capsule collection to help you get started.

The Color Palette

One of the easiest rules to apply when it comes to creating a bohemian capsule wardrobe is to start from a curated color palette.

Tip 1: Include both warm and cold hues. A good general rule is to opt for a collection in 6 to 12 hues. Choose less if you gravitate towards a minimalistic style and more if you love prints and aim for a boho look.

STYLE GUIDE:
GOLDEN SOUTH SEA PEARLS

Gold is one color that works really well with all of the colors from the boho palette.  As a result, incorporating some gold-colored accessoriesinto your boho-inspired outfits is always a good idea. Golden South Sea pearl pendants are one of our favorite options. These pendants are extremely unique and sophisticated, two words which symbolize what Bohemian style is all about. Browse our collection of golden South Sea pendants to find the perfect design for you. 

Tip 2: Use sister and cousin shades. For example, incorporate three shades of brown (caramel, maroon, latte) or fours shades of blue (turquoise, steel, sky blue and navy) and avoid solitaire, isolated colors. This tip will help you curate a capsule wardrobe where everything is easily matched, which adds to the versatility of the collection.

Tip 3: Include neutrals, pastels, as well as rich hues. Avoid artificial, neon colors, as well as highly saturated garments.

Tip 4: Mixing prints is much easier when you start with a hue palette, which is why putting a lot of thought into your color scheme is essential.

Bohemian style comes with a wide range of silhouettes and cuts, and just as many, if not more characteristic materials, patterns and techniques. As a general rule, bohemian designs incorporate natural materials in nature-occurring shades and designs inspired by art and rustic elements, plus a plethora of ethnic, folk and floral patterns. We’ve compiled a glossary of all the main bohemian elements out there, starting with the most commonly used fabrics to the most iconic prints and patterns.

Bohemian Materials

• Lace – bohemian lace is usually more rustic in appearance than delicate silk lace, and more often than not, it comes in white or ivory hues;

5. Bohemian Trendsetters and Influencers

Bohemian style was always seen as a counterculture – until the early 2000s, that is. As a result of celebrity culture, boho style, as well as boho chic, finally achieved mainstream status in the first decade of the 21st century. With movie stars, singers, models, as well as famous celebrity designers sporting distressed denim paired with suede, maxis or flouncy floral dresses and tunics, boho style became an iconic trend in its own right.

The Disco-Era Bohemians

Prior to the 2000s, stars like Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and Donna Summer fully adhered to the boho trend during the disco and hippie-infused 60s and 70s. While the bohemian trend was embraced by many subcultures, these particular decades did not fully adopt the artsy trend to the fullest. What did these divas have in common? A plethora of cape-like shawls, top hats, circle sunglasses, winged out sleeves and flared pants, plus flower power patterns galore.

Top Bohemian Influencers of the Early 2000s

1. Rachel Zoe

She is a key figure of the boho trend – and it’s not because she has a very high profile, but because she acted as the mastermind behind the scenes. We’re talking about celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, who reached fame in the early 2000s, when she started styling celebs that were soon to become some of the most popular bohemian style icons. Case in point: Nicole Ritchie.

2. Nicole Ritchie

Nicole Ritchie is, without a doubt, one of the main characters responsible for the bohemian revival of the 2000s. Not only is the socialite / reality star / fashion designer one of the most influential boho-cool and boho-chic trendsetters, but she also has her very own lines inspired by bohemian aesthetics. Moreover, Nicole is a pro at making mega-loose fits work perfectly, as well as a master of mix and matching prints and accessorizing maxi dresses.

3. Sienna Miller

Another pivotal celeb who revived the bohemian trend: Sienna Miller, who has been rocking the boho chic look since the early 2000s. Sienna takes an eclectic approach to bohemian style, combining elements that are not supposed to go together, yet somehow magically do. As one of the original batch of modern celebs that rocked boho fashion, Sienna let her style evolve during the years. More recently, the actress transitioned towards a more sophisticated look for the red carpet, but kept her notoriously disheveled boho look for casual weekends.

4. Vanessa Hudgens

While she currently describes her style as simply ‘chic’, Vanessa Hudgens was once the queen of boho-chic. While she keeps it glam on the red carpet, Vanessa does the paparazzi stroll in summer music festival-ready ensembles. Similarly to Nicole Ritchie, Vanessa’s absolute favorites include: maxi dresses, suede boots and gladiators, denims, loose tees and flowing skirts.

Other Honorable Mentions

• Zoe Kravitz – With parents like Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz and a stepdad like Jason Momoa, it’s no wondering that actress Zoe Kravitz is a veritable bohemian style trendsetter. As a result, Zoe is a master at looking perfectly effortless at all times, whether she is rocking the red carpet or doing the pap walk.
• Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen – Although these days they’re icons of the modest clothing style, the Olsen twins were part of the original crew who made bohemian style the mega trend that it is today. As masters of the ‘everything goes with everything’ look, Mary-Kate and Ashley always incorporated an element of whimsy or mystery in their ensembles.
• Anyone who’s ever attended Coachella – Coachella has become a culture and a lifestyle in its own right and a true representation of today’s more grungy-infused bohemian style. From the Victoria’s Secret models to the social media influencers and from the A-listers to the regular folk, Coachella is all about that SoCal, effortless look. The must-have elements for mastering the SoCal look: distressed denim, lace cover-ups and crochet crops, bandanas and headbands, boots of all kids, sunnies, temporary tattoos, flouncy maxis and an overload of accessories.

STYLE GUIDE: 
PEARL STUDS

What is one jewelry piece that many of the bohemian style influencers we covered above wear regularly? Pearl studs. These influencers, including Zoe Kravitz (pictured on the left), use pearl studs to accent various outfits in creative ways. The earrings work well with a variety of different colors and add the perfect touch of refinement. 

6. Bohemian Jewelry and Accessories

When aiming for the bohemian look, the jewelry and accessories you sport are just important as your clothing. From turquoise bling to headbands and from perforated bags to fringe and tassels, here are the main types of accessories and jewelry you need in order to curate an all-boho wardrobe.

Bohemian Accessories

Bohemian accessories are pretty easy to identify. As a simple rule, anything that’s plain, basic and simple is probably not bohemian. Firstly, if you are looking at a handbag or a pair of shoes that feature trims, pompoms, tassels and fringe, perforated elements, appliques and embroideries, ethnic prints and patterns, then chances are you have discovered a boho treasure. Moreover, anything that comes in streamlined silhouettes, structured cuts, classic designs or elegant lines is a big departure from bohemian style. As for the fabrics, natural is best when it comes to picking out bohemian accessories, and that includes canvas, leather (including good faux alternatives), linen, rattan, wood, rope and so on.

Moreover, prints and patterns are one of the most typical bohemian elements when it comes to accessories like handbags, shoes or headwear. From Mexican prints to tribal African patterns and from ikat to Turkish, Persian or Moroccan details, the range of boho-infused accessories is gorgeously inspiring.

What to Look for in Accessories

Bohemian Bags

• Fringe bags
• Perforated leather bags
• Unstructured totes an shoulder bags
• Ethnic print drawstring bags

Bohemian Jewelry

Bohemian jewelry is the very opposite of minimalistic. In fact, one can easily identify boho bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings based on their maximalist look. Intricate or large in size, statement or beaded, with or without gems and in a plethora of antiqued finishes, bohemian jewelry comes in many shapes and forms.

One of the easiest ways to identify bohemian jewelry is to ignore all the ultra-glossy and perfectly polished metallic pieces and go for more muted, matte metals instead. Similarly, if they come with turquoise gems, tribal engravings, natural gemstones or Moroccan-inspired designs, even better. Just like clothing and accessories, bohemian jewelry is focused mostly on natural materials, often incorporating genuine gemstones, white and colored pearls, leather, opal, wood (bangles, beads) and bone in the designs.

What to Look for in Jewelry

• Natural materials: metals, gems and pearls
• Turquoise anything
• Intricate beaded designs
• Wood beads and accents
• Artsy stackable rings
• Layered necklaces
• Antiqued silver and antiqued gold metals
• Jewelry with an artisanal feel
• Mexican bracelets
• African finger rings and African necklaces
• Moroccan jewelry
• Large pendants, large rings
• Tassels

Elevating Boho Outfits with Dressier Jewelry Pieces

If you want to incorporate pearls as part of you bohemian outfits, look for jewelry pieces that combine the gems of the sea with fringe, tassel and other such traditional boho elements. Alternatively, mother of pearl jewelry pieces in fantasy designs and combined with other semi-precious gems or antiqued finish metals are very boho-chic, perfect for complimenting weekend and vacation-ready outfits.

For dressier occasions, use pearls in order to elevate the look of your outfit by bringing it out of the hippie sphere and more into the boho-chic territory. If you choose precious metals, opt for ones that are not high-gloss, but rather have a matter, more subtle shine. Moreover, choose natural gems and stones whenever in need of dressing up, as thoughtfully selected jewelry pieces have the power to give any outfit a more polished vibe. While boho in itself is a departure from polished styles, if you want to still rock a bohemian dress at a fancy event (wedding, anniversary, festive occasion), a baroque pearl ring or pearl, amethyst (or your precious stone of choice) earrings are a great way to have the best of two worlds.

Pearl jewelry is one of the most popular choices of brides that opt for bohemian wedding themes, as well as beach weddings and ocean-inspired themes. Among the most popular choices: pearl hairpins, where the gems of the sea are combined with leaf motifs, textile or real flowers and other gems, headpieces, as well as intricate statement bracelets and anklets.  

STYLE GUIDE: 
WHITE SOUTH SEA PEARL RINGS

One really great Bohemian-inspired jewelry option is a large white pearl ring. Combine it with other rings on the same hand to create a jewelry look that pays homage to Bohemian fashion.  South Sea pearls are some of the largest types of pearls, making them an especially fantastic choice. Contrast the large pearl ring with other rings that feature smaller gems for a captivating look. 

What to Avoid When Shopping for Boho Jewelry and Accessories

• Neon colors unless they are part of ethnic-inspired designs
• Artificial fabrics like latex, low-quality faux fabrics
• Plastic
• Lucite
• Artificial, saturated shades
• Minimalistic jewelry, unless used for complex layering
• Futuristic and geometric jewelry

7. Boho-Chic: The Elevated Bohemian Style

Boho-chic style is defined as the upgraded, elevated bohemian aesthetic. As its name suggests, boho-chic is a merger of styles: bohemian and chic – and, as a result, it’s a fashion fusion that takes the classic bohemian look to a more sophisticated level. Not only that, but boho-chic is more urban-focused than bohemian style, which finds its roots in nature, rustic settings, old eras and not as much in a contemporary city environment.

Compared to the classic bohemian style, boho-chic fashion comes with a few characteristics.

The Similarities:

• Boho-chic fashion is inspired by hippie aesthetics, combined with retro and vintage elements;
• It incorporates prints, as well as mixed print styles;
• Boho-chic style incorporates volume and relaxed fits;
• It features ethnic prints and trims;
• It favors natural color palettes and avoids neons or artificial hues;
• Boho-chic style has an effortlessly put-together vibe;
• It features embroideries and appliques.

The Differences:

• The chic version of boho features garments that are more streamlined and structured;
• Boho-chic comes with a mishmash aesthetic, combining eclectic elements;
• It looks more focused, polished and put-together than the effortless bohemian;
• It masters the art of hippie gone urban;
• Boho-chic features less flounce and less volume;
• It combines hard and soft elements (structured leather jacket with flouncy maxi);
• It combines classic elements with boho pieces;
• Chic bohemian style incorporates more luxe fabrics like velvet, satin and silk;
• It combines basics with hippie garments.

How to Take Your Bohemian Style to Boho-Chic Levels

• Ditch the gladiators and the flats in favor of heels;
• Mix urban or sporty elements with hippie garments (sneakers with bohemian print dress);
• Choose larger scale prints instead of small scale prints for a crisp, retro-inspired look;
• Stick to a curated color palette;
• Avoid pairing volume with volume – instead, choose a voluminous piece and pair it with a structured or form-fitted one;
• Upgrade your appliques and adornments by incorporating sequins, rhinestones and romantic-inspired embellishments in your ensembles;
• Add edgy or grunge elements like leather, studs, dark and dramatic hues and metallic details;
• Mix hard and soft elements to achieve an eclectic chic look.

How to Accessorize a Boho-Chic Outfit

• Avoid going all boho from head to toe and incorporate sophisticated elements or accessories that carry a timeless chic vibe, like single pearl necklaces, sleek bangle bracelets and gemstone rings;
• If going boho with the clothing, opt for a streamlined, urban bag to upgrade your look and vice versa;
• Avoid making too many accessory statements per outfit and opt for either a statement bag, impactful earrings or other statement jewelry pieces to avoid clashing;
• Switch the bohemian headbands, turbans and bandanas with retro sunglasses and fedora hats.

8. Bohemian Clothing Styles

These days, bohemian style falls on a large and varied spectrum. From fashions reminiscent of the funky 1970s, loaded with flared sleeves and pants to romantic bohemians, where lace, braids and prairie silhouettes dominate to the urban-edgy bohemian who sports a city version of the artsy aesthetic, the range is very diverse. Which type of bohemian are you? Here are a few characteristics defining each and every type of boho lover out there.

1. The Hippie Bohemian

Inspired by the original bohemians of the 60s, the hippie bohemian wears groovy tie-dye prints, maxi dresses with ultra-long locks, headbands and flat sandals. Vintage rock t-shirts paired up with maxi skirts are another option, combined with worn-out suede leather jackets.

2. The 70s Bohemian

Wooden clunky heels, Swedish hasbeens, high platforms, ultra-flared denims, bishop and trumpet sleeves in dramatic volumes are the main items in the wardrobe of a 70s bohemian lover. Groovy prints in large scale designs are other 70s staples, especially when paired with chunky heels or platforms and wooden accents.

3. The Romantic Bohemian

Vintage overload, delicate crochet, mesmerizing appliques and flouncy maxis are on the checklist of a romantic bohemian. Gravitating towards softer hues, ivories and blush tones, the romantic bohemian style is infused with a sense of whimsy and fairytale vibes. Florals, sheer fabrics, romantic loose curls and bedazzled accessories are all part of the romantic boho look, ideal for brides in love with the bohemian style.

4. The Edgy Bohemian

Darker hues, black, leather, studs and more form-fitted silhouettes are part of the edgy bohemian’s arsenal. Vintage t-shirts, grunge details, leather bracelets and metallic elements are also staples of the edgy boho look, which merges two styles without looking disjointed.

5. The Country Bohemian

Cowboy boots, daisy dukes and denim shorts, lots of denim in everything from jackets to vests and jeans, leather belts, perforated accessories, fringe galore, cowboy hats and fedora hats, warm hues like caramel, mustard and rich browns – all part of that country-infused boho style.

6. The Eclectic Bohemian

Eclectic bohemians wear a mishmash of pieces, each inspired by different cultures, eras or styles, masterfully blended together in one imperfectly cohesive outfit. While following zero fashion rules, the eclectic bohemian creates a very unique sense of style, where creativity is the main factor.

7. The Chic Bohemian

Also called boho-chic, this type of bohemian aesthetic is a slightly more polished version of the often disheveled boho style. Ditching worn-out clothes for crisper versions and often switching the gladiators and the clunky heels for sleeker alternatives, boho chic lovers choose to upgrade the bohemian style by including more polished clothing items and accessories in their outfits.

STYLE GUIDE:
TIN CUP PEARL JEWELRY

The boho-chic style appeals to many women because it creates a look that’s unique and eclectic, but at the same time refined. Tin cup pearl jewelry is the perfect accessory for a boho-chic aesthetic. The tin cup designs integrate a classic gemstone, but do so in a way that’s fun and creative. Use tin cup pearl jewelry to add the perfect finishing touch to any boho-chic outfit.
