Boho dresses - a symbol of freedom and bohemianism
The boho style is very young - a symbol of freedom, bohemianism and self-expression, although its roots go back to the distant past.
Having absorbed a little of other fashion trends, it has elements of gypsy, ethnic, vintage styles, as well as stylistics from colonial times and safari.
The style is not limited by frames, which means that it will not be difficult for you to choose an image to your liking.
Peculiarities
The boho style is complex and multifaceted, but nevertheless, some features can be distinguished:
- For the most part, dresses are characterized by voluminous silhouettes, which are formed due to the layering of materials, and flared lines.
- The use of additional elements is encouraged by designers who actively use numerous folds, interesting flounces and unexpected draperies.
- An emphasis on the waist is not a necessary element, but it is often found. For this, all kinds of belts, lacing, leather belts are used.
- The use of natural materials is a prerequisite for the boho style. Linen, silk, corduroy and wool are suitable.
- Monotony, the presence of bright prints, ethnic patterns and floral ornaments are encouraged.
Length
Let the boho style be recognizable by long dresses, but after all, experiments have not been canceled, including with the length of such outfits.
Long
A long, swingy dress is the most characteristic element of boho clothing.Most often it is multi-colored and a bit like those worn by gypsies.
Long, loose sundresses are also popular. Along with a simple cut, there is a multi-layer texture.
If the weather does not allow wearing a light dress, and the boho style beckons and seduces you, then models from a denser fabric can also be used.
A short
Short boho dresses are not as common as long ones. Lightweight and weightless, they are in demand in the summer.
Models with an asymmetrical length look seductive.
Models
Such a variety of models and styles, which is present in the Boho style, can not boast of any other style.
High-waisted
If your wardrobe lacks boho dresses, then take a closer look at long models with a high waistline.
It does not matter for what reason this outfit is chosen - a celebration or for every day, the material from which the dress was created plays an important role here.
Don't miss the chance to highlight your breasts with the features of the cut and hide the plumpness on the hips and stomach thanks to the loose fit.
Pregnant women should especially take a closer look at such boho-style dresses, because they do not constrain movement, do not put pressure on the stomach and consist of natural materials.
Shirt Dresses
A very interesting option for a Boho-style outfit is a shirt dress.
It is easy to recognize by the uncut bodice, which necessarily has a free design, a sleeve over the entire arm or three-quarters.
There is a row of buttons or rivets in front, which can be revealed or hidden under the decorative strip.
Although this outfit has simplicity, it is very popular among young girls. And it cannot be otherwise, since the cut hides convenience, versatility and practicality.
Tunic dresses
Tunic dresses are not chosen in accordance with body build, because they fit any figure. If your body allows you to highlight the waist, then it makes sense to choose a belt for this outfit.
Multilayer
Layering and a Boho style dress are inseparable things that cannot exist without each other. Therefore, when forming their models, designers use several skirts and petticoats.
Each new layer can have a different length and jagged edges. Such techniques make dresses stylish and often even unusual.
With ruffles
Any dress in boho style with ruffles and all kinds of frills will be an interesting option for creating a summer look.
Such decor serves as an excellent solution for several problems at once: creating layering, giving volume to the silhouette and sleeves, pomp at the bottom.
On full figures, such an outfit will look ridiculous, while increasing the available volume.
With lace
Lace is not only a fashionable element in modern outfits, but also a versatile decor that can be found in any of the existing styles, including boho. Sleeves, hem, waist and neckline are best for lace placement.
We have already said that natural fabrics are chosen for boho dresses, but lace can be synthetic, soft or dense and resistant.
On chiseled figures, openwork dresses will look fresh and harmonious. The color of the lace can be matched to the dress or create contrast.
With embroidery
The boho style does not contradict the use of embroidery. Dresses can even have appliques.
There are no rules regarding the placement of such decor, whoever you like... But the materials for creating embroideries and appliques are selected special, with an unobtrusive shine, with interesting textures and an original form.
Fringed
The boho style incorporates many other directions, including the rustic one. Fringe will be appropriate here, which most often frames the hem of the dress or highlights only some fragments of the outfit (pockets, sleeves, stitching).
The image turns out to be multifaceted, it consists of simplicity, brevity, originality, special style and unusual design. The cascading fringe arrangement is now extremely popular.
With rocks
Stones, especially precious ones, and beads are most often found on wedding dresses or elegant models. Ethnic patterns and whimsical curls emerge from this decor.
More often than usual, the neckline or the entire upper part of the outfit is decorated in this way.
Directions
The boho style is divided into directions, which, although they have many common characteristics, are still very different from each other.
Boho chic
No matter how versatile this direction is, some characteristic features can still be distinguished:
- layering. It is created by using clothes of different lengths and styles that are not similar to each other. These outfits can be combined with leggings and any other short pants;
- Colour. Bright colors and expressive prints are welcome. And due to pastel shades, it is possible to create an easy image for a gentle girl, which many designers successfully do;
- the cloth. For boho chic, velvet, leather, suede are mostly chosen. On the catwalks, models often appear in dresses made of organza, corduroy and fur. Cotton, silk and linen dresses are not inferior in popularity.
The decor should be bright - boho chic cannot exist without it. Dresses can be decorated with flounces, edged with ribbons and complemented by ruffles. Fringe can also be seen as a decoration. But flowers, prints from folk art and embroidery must be present.
Classic
This is the only direction in which clear lines should be present. Velvet, jacquard, guipure are typical materials for sewing such dresses.
Eco
The name itself reveals the essence of this direction - the preservation of the animal world and the unacceptability of the use of fur and leather. Models are characterized by simplicity of styles and natural colors.
Boho glamor
This direction allows you to combine a fitted top with a layered chiffon skirt and light lace. Characterized by a bright print.
Boho-rustic
Preference is given to natural fabrics, floral and plant motifs.
Ethno-boho
Here, of course, ethnic motives must prevail. The belonging of dresses to this direction is recognized by the corresponding patterns and ornaments.
For full
Donuts in no case need to give up the boho style. Due to its multi-layered designs and free cut lines, excess fullness will be hidden and skillfully veiled, so be sure to replenish your summer wardrobe with a pair of sundresses.
When choosing them, pay attention to the color and style that will help make you taller and slimmer.
The presence of small breasts requires the use of denim boleros in images, and a weak waist will be well emphasized by a wide belt, preferably made of leather.
Full thighs are a real problem for plumpers. In this case, you need to select the upper part of the shape, which will distract the eye from the problematic bottom.
Summer
When it's unbearably hot outside, you want to put on light clothes that will allow air to pass through well. The boho style suits perfectly in such cases.
Pay attention to models that are completely made of natural materials. Very interesting combinations are created from flax. Not satisfied with linen? Staple models with elements of Russian motives will do.
Nobody limits you in the choice of colors: from the lightest shades to green, blue and even brown - choose what suits you and to your liking.
Wedding
Increasingly, you can see brides in dresses that clearly show the boho-chic style. For their creation, lightweight materials with a flowing structure, lace and guipure are selected.
Let their cut be simple and unpretentious, but the images of the girls turn out to be exquisite, slightly charming and filled with virgin beauty.
The veil does not suit such dresses. But lace hats, strands of pearls and beads woven into the hair, and fresh flowers can adequately replace the classic wedding element.
The outfit must necessarily be long or asymmetrical, when the short length in front turns into the maximum length in the back.
Evening
The boho style has many dresses that can be a great evening option. After all, even an elegant dress can be modest, free and elegant.
Everyday
A casual boho look is not difficult to create. Short dresses are combined with high boots, long dresses - with sandals, and hats, scarves, massive bracelets will complement the ensemble in the best way. And you will not have any problems in choosing outerwear.
Material
The Boho style involves the use of a limited number of fabrics, but even from this range, designers manage to create masterpieces worthy of the most sophisticated and fastidious lady.
Linseed
Boho linen has a special place, especially when loose dresses are created from it. Designers prefer slightly fitted silhouettes or triangular cuts. No hard lines and details that will clog the image with their quantity and pretentiousness.
Multiple tiers in skirts are a popular design element that helps create a fluid and airy dress. The upper part of the dress may have small sleeves or shoulder straps.
A linen dress can be composed of several types of materials. Summer models are characterized by a high waistline and lining in the form of a petticoat.
The dress must certainly be comfortable and free, original, without flashy decor, which will be replaced by expressive decorations.
Jersey
Boho style is able to transform any material from which the designer conceived to create a dress. Even capricious knitwear can be used for a gala evening, a walk, a party and shopping.
Knitted
A white dress that was knitted or crocheted is the weakness of the boho style fans. Color variants are also popular. All these options are similar in their free styles, naturalness and simplicity, which captivate.
Denim
Although denim is not typical for the boho style, the designers do not stop it and they create charming, bold and original denim dresses.
Most often, there are long sundresses and short models with free styles. Denim goes well with linen.
Lace
Boho style does not understand itself without lace. It can be a full lace dress or combination models.
Outfits like these will look good when chosen based on age. Young girls will feel good in white, red and purple lace dresses.
Colors
White
A white dress with characteristic features of boho style looks romantic and even innocent. The use of embroidery or lace gives the white dress a charm that is hard to resist.
Brown
Natural color is perfectly embodied in natural fabrics. Take the brown palette, which feels good in bohemian dresses.
Black
A complex color, not too typical for Boho, attracts designers, makes them create, create new masterpieces that sink into the hearts of fashionistas.
This style was gifted to us by the gypsies who lived in the Bohemian forests. A modern person no longer needs to become a nomad in order to allow himself to dress in the boho style.
