Varieties
In general, boho is a mix of several styles. Depending on which direction was taken as a basis, several types of tunics can be distinguished.
- Ethno-boho. The main distinguishing feature is a special color scheme. Most often it is an ornament, animalistic or floral print. When looking at such a thing, an association arises with the traditional decorations of ancient national costumes of different peoples. Ethno-boho is characterized by the presence of hand-embroidered patterns (most often on the hem and sleeves), thin belts with tassels at the ends. Often such tunics are decorated with deliberately coarse wood beads.

- Hippie boho and new hippie boho. Already from the name it is clear what can be expected from this direction. Bright colors, unusual embroidered ornaments - everything is like American youth from the 60s of the twentieth century. It is desirable to complement the bow with denim trousers or shorts, as well as massive accessories: earrings, belts, bracelets, beads.

- Boho provence. The Provence style itself is very gentle, feminine, romantic. It is characterized by decoration with lace, flounces, ruffles. The color scheme is pastel; as a rule, there are no additions (embroidery, patterns). Such tunics are often multi-layered, as if flowing. Fabrics are extremely light, airy, such as gauze or very fine wool.

- Boho glamor. This direction welcomes the presence of jewelry: volumetric embroidery, rhinestones, sequins, feathers. The cut can be slightly fitted, which, in fact, is not typical for boho, but for the sake of glamor, such an exception may take place.

- Eco-boho. Here, the naturalness of materials and colors comes to the fore. Linen, cotton, gauze, wool - this is perhaps a complete list of fabrics from which a tunic in an eco-boho style can be sewn. No additional decorations are provided. The cut is shirtless, loose, the hem is most often asymmetrical, the length can be any. The color scheme is very calm, natural shades are in favor.

- Boho vintage or retro boho. This direction is the best suited for lovers of vintage "grandmother's" things. Tunics in this style are volumetric products knitted or crocheted. Using the fillet knitting technique, you can create a stunningly beautiful tunic that resembles a lace veil. The sleeve can be made both elongated and shortened. It is advisable to complement the image with a wide belt and a multi-layer skirt to the floor or denim shorts, which is also quite appropriate.

Criterias of choice
To choose a boho tunic, you should rely on several recommendations. You should understand that an oversized style item will look voluminous anyway, even if you are the lucky owner of the XS size. Therefore, when buying, focus on the type of your figure.

There are only 5 of them: "pear", "apple", "inverted triangle", "rectangle", "hourglass", namely:
- a pear-shaped silhouette is suitable for cutting a hem in the shape of a rhombus, as well as a neckline with a boat;

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2020/05/vybiraem-tuniku-v-stile-boho-33.jpg)
- the nuances of the "apple" figure will be hidden by a tunic with a high cut-off waist, and the V-neckline focuses on the long neck and beautiful neckline;

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2020/05/vybiraem-tuniku-v-stile-boho-71.jpg)
- the inverted triangle type is recommended for models with a detachable hem trimmed with ruffles or lace; and you should also consider options with patch pockets located in the hip area;

The next recommendation for choosing a boho tunic concerns the age of the young lady. Young girls can afford a wider variety of models, which concerns both the features of tailoring and colors. With mature women, things are a little more complicated. They are advised to pay attention to the elongated options. Tunics with an asymmetrical hem or in the shape of a trapezoid will look great. A fifty-year-old lady should not wear a tunic as a dress, even if it is very long.
An exception is the resort area, where you can make a bow from a boho tunic, Greek-style sandals and a wide-brimmed straw hat.
