How to Buy Boho Clothing

The boho trend is all about natural fabrics, peasant or hippie styles and ethnic accessories. It's easy to find bohemian clothing everywhere from department stores to vintage boutiques. Mixing and matching gypsy skirts, tunic tops, chandelier earrings and other boho items is a great way to express your individuality.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

  1. 1

    Check your favorite clothing stores for bohemian clothing. A mainstream fashion trend since 2003, the boho look can be found at stores ranging from Macy's to Old Navy to H & M. Used clothing stores, vintage boutiques and even Army surplus outlets are always options, whether boho is in or out.

  2. 2

    Buy whatever appeals to you, and worry about putting together outfits after they're in your closet. Unlike more tailored separates, boho clothes look best when they seem thrown together in most cases, even with colors that might seem to clash if the look were more conservative.

  3. 3

    Find head to toe bohemian clothing. Get yourself a hand-crocheted bucket hat or an oversized cabby cap. Then choose some hand-knit scarves to toss around your neck. Jewelry is handmade with vintage-style beads and consist of long, dangling earrings.

  4. 4

    Choose tops with a hippie look, like linen or cotton peasant blouses. Hand-embroidered details are a plus. Lingerie-inspired camisoles also have the bohemian look. Wear them below tunics or long, hand-knit cardigans that taper at the waist.

  5. 5

    Buy a few peasant skirts that fall to the knee or ankle to continue the look. Low-slung leather belts and crocheted fabric belts add a fun boho touch. For pants, choose denim with flare and loose fitting linen.

  6. 6

    Choose wedge platform sandals, espadrilles and simple ballet flats. Suede laced boots are great for the bohemian look. Embroidery, mirror and seed beading, cork wedges and hemp stitching add a boho flair to shoes.

Tips & Warnings

  • While most boho separates can be worn together, avoiding pairing loose fitting tunic tops with full peasant skirts, which can make even a waif look heavy. Loose tops should be worn with jeans or fitted bottoms, while a fitted sweater worn over a cami is perfect with a free-falling skirt.
