Bohemian fashion is popular right now, and it’s actually super easy to pull off a trendy Boho look. Here are eight essential pieces you need to get started.

Are you looking for ways to dress more Bohemian?

The boho look is cropping up on celebrities all over the world. It is especially popular at music festivals and during the summer time.

The sun being out in full force is the perfect time to rock flowy, airy clothing that has a lot of breathing room.

Keep in mind that bohemian fashion is all about connecting with yourself and not following traditional fashion trends. There are no set rules for dressing in boho style. That said, there are certain pieces of fashion that scream “boho” more than others.

This article will give you eight go-to items you must have in your closet if you want to be boho-chic.

1) Maxi Skirt

Maxi skirts give you all the freedom of wearing a skirt with none of the worries about the wind exposing your underwear since they go all the way down to the floor and flow with you when you walk.

It’s a win-win!

These skirts come in a variety of colors and patterns that allow you to express yourself. Pair a loose maxi skirt with a more form-fitting top for a killer outfit idea.

A colorful maxi skirt will look amazing with a plain white or black t-shirt. Seeing someone walk by with a free-flowing maxi skirt is like artwork.

2) Lots of Layers

The bohemian style is all about layering.

Layer a tank top under a tunic for instance. You want to add layers to your clothing to give them a looser look. The bohemian style is not about being constrained by tight dresses.

A loose cardigan over your outfit can instantly take it from boring to interesting.

Vests are best when it comes to layering in a bohemian fashion. There’s nothing quite as cool as a denim vest in the summer. Try adding buttons or pins to your vest to support causes you care about.

3) Glam It Up with Jewelry

While the bohemian style is definitely more relaxed than many other types of fashion, it doesn’t mean that jewelry is neglected.

In fact, chunky, colorful jewelry is essential in boho fashion.

Think about hippie jewelry that is made from all natural products. Remember that bohemian style stresses a connection to yourself and to the planet. This means you want to wear products that honor the planet and environment.

Earrings, necklaces, and bracelets made out of recyclable materials are a great place to start.

Imagine the impact on the environment we would have if we all started making recyclable objects glamorous? Or even started turning items that are just sitting in garbage piles unable to be recycled into jewelry.

4) Floppy Hats

Big, floppy hats are not only fashionable, they also protect your face from sun damage.

Floppy hats are a great way to add a bohemian touch to any outfit. You can choose a colorful hat to add a pop of color to a white outfit. Or select a plain straw hat to tone down an outfit that is already colorful.

5) Sandals

Sandals are the preferred form of shoe for bohemians, especially in the summer.

Sandals are great because they don’t restrict the feet in any way. You do have to make sure you keep up with your pedicures, however.

Sandals come in many different styles from gladiators to flip-flops. It doesn’t really matter what style you choose for bohemian fashion. Just keep in mind that items made from environmentally friendly materials are usually the best.

6) Boho Your Bag

When trying to adopt a bohemian mode of dress, you can’t ignore your bag.

It would look silly to have free-flowing clothes accompany a briefcase or otherwise severe looking bag.

Your bag should match your style. Aim for a colorful cross-body purse or a large messenger bag. Cross-body bags tend to look more relaxed and match the bohemian aesthetic.

7) Flared Jeans

Perhaps the best thing about the bohemian look? You’re no longer confined to tight skinny jeans that you can barely get on your body.

Flared jeans are back in bohemian fashion. Flared jeans are less constrictive and they honor that natural curves of your body much better than skinny jeans do. Plus you’ll never have to do the skinny jeans dance when you’re trying to squeeze them on again.

Pair your flare jeans with a pair of ankle boots for a cute and fun boho look.

8) Wrap Your Neck

Wondering how to add a finishing touch on your look? Try adding a lightweight scarf.

Scarves are a wonderful way to add color and interest to your look. They don’t have to provide any functional warmth in the summertime but are instead a way to vary your style.

If you’re on a budget and can’t afford all new clothes, scarves are an inexpensive alternative.

The right scarf can take an outfit from being blase to being brilliant.
