How to Wear the Boho Trend: 5 Key Tips
Boho fashion is all about effortless vibes, but let's be real—sometimes it can lean a little too far into “I-just-woke-up-in-a-field-at-Coachella” territory. If you’re looking to embrace your inner bohemian goddess without veering into costume territory, we’ve got you. Here are five easy tips to rock the boho trend while keeping it chic, not cliché.
1. Less is More
The key to mastering boho is to avoid layering every fringe, feather, and flower crown you own all at once. Instead, pick one statement piece—like a flowy dress or a killer patterned skirt—and keep the rest of your look simple. It’s boho, not an audition for a '70s cover band.
2. Stick to Luxe Fabrics
If you want your boho look to say sophisticated, focus on high-quality fabrics. Think rich textures like suede, silk, and leather. Speaking of leather, our October collection has some luxe faux leather styles that give you that boho edge without the eco guilt. Throw on a leather jacket or a pair of leather pants for a grounded, modern take on the trend. Trust us, it’ll elevate your whole look.
3. Mix, Don’t Match
Boho is all about mixing patterns and textures, but there’s an art to it. Aim for a cohesive look by keeping your color palette complementary. Florals and funky prints are fabulous, but when they’re all in the same outfit, you can start to resemble someone’s grandma’s quilt. Pick one bold print and balance it with neutral tones or subtle patterns.
4. Say Yes to Statement Accessories (But Only One)
Yes, boho is synonymous with big, bold accessories, but remember—balance! A wide-brimmed hat, oversized earrings, or a chunky necklace can elevate your outfit, but too many at once? You’ll end up looking like you’re trying out for a role in Pirates of the Caribbean. Choose one statement accessory and let it shine.
5. Keep the Silhouette Simple
Boho doesn’t mean drowning in fabric. If you’re going for a flowy top, pair it with fitted bottoms like skinny jeans or a sleek skirt to create balance. Or, if you’re rocking a loose, flowy dress, cinch it with a belt to define your shape. The goal is to look carefree, not like you’re swimming in your clothes.
Conclusion
Boho is all about individuality and free-spirited style, but it doesn’t have to look like a costume. Keep your fabrics luxe, your accessories bold (but singular), and your layers in check, and you’ll have a look that’s more runway-ready than music festival-madness.
