Boho-style sundresses are a great way to demonstrate the ability to combine things that are opposite in spirit. Images of Parisian bohemia, a reflection of the worldview of hippie culture, echoes of intoxicating gypsy freedom - all of this has a place in boho.

Style features
The term "boho" itself owes its birth to Bohemia, on the territory of which the camps roamed. In France, it is customary to call representatives of creative professions "bohemia" - artists, singers and performers. These non-standard personalities preferred to dress differently.

The boho framework is rather vague - from its inception to the present day, it is one of the most eclectic styles, combining comfort and style, naturalness and challenge. Currently, it is customary to subdivide boho into several subspecies:
- Boho-hippie is an echo of the cheerful 60s of the last century: the most vivid and expressive sundresses, an abundance of knitted details and fringes, the active use of burlap and sheepskin;
- Boho glamor is the exact opposite of hippie aesthetics: stylish sundresses, in the decoration of which there is a place for both traditional guipure and chiffon, and unexpected fur splashes;
- Boho classics - true Parisian chic: when creating sundresses, the designer prefers velvet, jacquard, mohair and various types of knitwear;
- Boho-eco is a current trend at the junction of striving for vintage and caring for the environment: for the most part, natural fabrics are used for sewing sundresses.

For the first time, boho sundresses appear on the catwalks of Milan and Paris in the first half of the 2000s. At the same time, the modern idea of the boho style as such was formed. One of the first "icons" of boho was Kate Moss.The blurring of borders and frames allows fashion designers to stylize boho-style sundresses with grunge and folk, casual and hippie aesthetics, which makes such outfits a truly universal wardrobe item.

Models
No matter how varied the options for boho sundresses are, the decisive word always remains behind a free cut: a free skirt, flying fabrics and the maximum naturalness of the silhouette. A boho-style sundress can be found both in a solemn female image and in everyday life. The harmony of this item of clothing can hardly be overestimated - refined femininity is appropriate everywhere and always!

The boho style allows for both floor-length skirts and short options above the knee. Sundresses with an asymmetrical length, in which a long hem on the back side with a short one on the “front” part, are becoming one of the fresh trends. Another trendy variation: a sundress that covers the knees and trimmed with lace at the bottom edge.

For women with curvaceous forms, boho sundresses are completely irreplaceable. The loose fit does not hinder movement, gives confidence in every gesture and unobtrusively camouflages flaws. A floor-length skirt visually stretches the silhouette of its owner and adds harmony in the eyes of others.

Depending on the style, boho sundresses are worn as an independent piece of clothing or build a composite image, using all the advantages of this style. For example, a sundress apron will be a real boon for lovers of vintage items. The artificially aged version with stylish wear and tear does not at all hide the merits of the thing over which it is worn.

Some boho sundresses are not sewn, but knitted. Needlewomen have long decided how exactly to knit a boho sundress: the fillet technique is considered ideal for this. Fillet knitting is based on imitation of lace, so the resulting outfits always look delicate and airy.

Fabrics
Considering the history of the emergence of boho-style, the creators of outfits tend to make the most of natural materials and fabrics. When sewing boho sundresses, chiffon and suede, wool and silk, corduroy and knitwear, leather and denim, cotton and linen are used. Sustainability has been the cornerstone of boho aesthetics from the start.

Embroidery elements are often found in boho sundresses. Some sundresses are completely knitted from linen by hand, both knitting needles and crocheting. Real handmade is effectively interwoven into both hippie culture and salon-bohemian images. Many fashion designers use prints and bright colors when creating boho sundresses. The timeless classics of boho can be safely called geometric, ethnic and floral motifs.

Any boho sundress is literally imbued with tenderness, therefore, creative girls walking down the aisle often choose just such a solution when ordering a wedding dress. The main difference between a boho wedding sundress and a classic wedding dress is that in the case of boho there is no need for a veil. It can be easily and gracefully replaced by a string of beads or pearls, a flirty lace hat or the weaving of fresh flowers into a lady's hairstyle.

The importance of accessories for a girl who chooses a boho sundress for herself should in no way be underestimated. Correctly selected accessories are half, if not a large part of the image. The bag will be its key element.
The time has come to say goodbye to clutches and other "toy" handbags - bags-bags appear on the stage.Large, suede, worn over the shoulder, stylized as a hunting game bag or a fringed cowboy saddle.

As for the jewelry, there is a wide choice under the boho sundress. Eye-catching earrings decorated with rings and feathers, and even jewelry flash tattoo, temporary metallic tattoos, which are a decorative part of the image, are perfect for him. In the boho style, costume jewelry plays a huge role: all these beads, brooches, wreaths and bracelets can be either miniature or have a deliberately large shape.

The most important thing in boho is to find the right formula that emphasizes the trend, and not exaggerates it. In order to create a fashionable look and not look like a "crazy gypsy", two or three accessories are enough.
Beautiful images
The image is a reference to the classic cowboy and Indian games. The intricate necklace, reminiscent of the iconic Native American "dream catcher", is fresh and original combined with a sundress stylized as cowboys. High boots and additional accessories complete the look.

The sundress, created in the image and likeness of a patchwork quilt, instantly evokes associations with "Woodstock" and the era of "flower children". A narrow strip - "bauble" on the forehead, interlacing of leather bracelets and other ethno-elements are just asking for in San Francisco in the 60s!

The fantasy image that would go to the Fairy Princess has been slightly modified for the sake of color harmony. The “layered” structure of the dress and the fake decor, which is part of the sundress, look very unusual.
