Choosing a boho-style cardigan

Comfortable, relaxing and eclectic, the boho style has its origins in creatives, artists, actors, and those without limits. Many trends are woven here, such as grunge, hippie, vintage, ethno. This insanely comfortable style is loved by many. And today, without a knitted boho cardigan, the wardrobe of any fashionista is unthinkable. And how to choose it, we will figure it out.

The concept of "boho", that is, "bohemian", comes from the word bohmiens - this is how the gypsy-vagabonds were called in the Gypsy language, who did not recognize conventions, always loved to dress brightly and beautifully.

But these are not all the characteristic differences:

• natural raw materials: linen, woolen, cotton cardigan is pleasant to wear, and acrylic and viscose are used exclusively in combination with natural fibers;
• a free silhouette (recently, the oversized style has been especially popular);
• an abundance of bright extravagant decor: often this function is performed by embroidery, appliques, beads, fringes;
• interesting, unusual accessories: for example, wooden buttons of a non-standard shape, made of shells, stones, and so on;
• ornaments: models are often decorated with original patterns in one of the folklore directions;
• asymmetrical details.

Stylish knitted cardigan, which can be attributed to the boho direction, is appropriate in the wardrobe of any fashionista. Bohemian chic is quite eclectic, it includes elements of various styles, ethnic motives, including gypsy, country, military and safari elements, even hippies.

There are a lot of options for boho cardigans. They can be classified according to some criteria.

Fit:

• straight or fitted, when using tight knit, a V-neck is possible;
• flared silhouette at the bottom, asymmetrical hem, drapery;
• poncho cardigan - this model resembles a very loose sweater.

Length:

• short: the combination with other clothes is important here, the use of layering;
• classic length: suitable for any clothes up to the knee or slightly lower;
• long to the floor: this cardigan looks gorgeous, goes well with trousers and jeans.

Color spectrum:

• basic colors: calm black, gray, beige, any light tone;
• accent - all colors of a pleasant range;
• ethnic patterns;
• geometric print;
• animalistic prints.

Bohemian knitted cardigan is versatile. It suits absolutely everyone: both young and women of mature age, as well as owners of any figure.

But there is also a limitation: it is better for full ladies not to wear chunky-knit cardigans, but to choose an odorless style that is worn wide open. This approach will create a vertical that will visually slim the figure. And also for a similar category of beauties, it is better to choose an elongated model with a slight fit. If there is ornament or embroidery, the location should be vertical.

It is worth choosing this wardrobe item both for a walk and for study, work, if there is no strict dress code and business meetings. The cardigan is suitable for any season. A warm model of dense knit will replace a coat, but if you pick up a thin jacket, it can be thrown over a dress on a summer evening.

At the same time, in your wardrobe, it is better to have several models at once, differing in style and color: for example, one of them will be bright, richly decorated, in one of the folklore styles, and the second basic, gray or beige.

Boho is a rather extravagant and peculiar style, so you need to be able to wear such things, using them to create an image in a measured manner. So, if the main item of clothing in the set is a boho cardigan, all other components of the outfit must be as simple and restrained as possible.

Of course, like any other cardigan model, an element of bohemian style is appropriate in a casual wardrobe.

Skirts of maximum length, a sheath dress, as well as a tandem of a laconic blouse and a pencil skirt are ideal. A crocheted openwork cardigan will be a perfect match with a summer sundress. It is also a great companion for a chiffon dress, cascading skirt. The cropped version of the cardigan is worn with flared trousers, straight jeans, and skirts with an A-shaped silhouette.

As for the shoes, they should be comfortable: without a heel, or in a pinch, with a low square heel. Moccasins and loafers will look harmonious. However, sports shoes are not at all welcome. In summer, you can wear sandals or ballerinas. In winter - flat-soled boots, Cossacks, as well as rough military-ankle boots.

The bag should be medium in size, always with an elongated shoulder strap.

The image created with the participation of a boho cardigan will be incomplete without many accessories: voluminous jewelry on the chest and ears, beads made of stones, wood, chains with large stones.You can put on your hands all the bracelets from the box, and this will be in place. The brooch looks very stylish on a handmade cardigan.

Boho style implies a lot of decor. The brighter the finish, the better. And with a cardigan with a 3/4 sleeve, you can wear various bracelets, braided baubles, various leather jewelry.

A cardigan in spring or autumn will be effectively complemented by a beautiful scarf.

The best solution for a bag is a soft model with a long strap, but other options are possible.
