When you fill up your closet with just a handful of boho dresses, never get caught short for music festivals or spontaneous beach trips. Classic dress styles which are characterized by classic layers, comfortable comfort, and rustic candlelight are ideal for celebrating almost any kind of special occasion. Read on to get inspired by some of our favorite boho chic dresses:
Embroidered T-Shirts. The best thing about boho dresses is their ability to make you feel great just by looking at them! Nothing beats the cool, vintage, hippie look of vintage hippie dresses punctuated with cool, vintage embroidery.
Hipster Boho Dresses. Just because you’re celebrating Halloween doesn’t mean that you have to skip out on dressing up in boho dresses that are hip and affordable. Look for cute, funky hippie skirts that are affordable; add on a pom-pom hat and bohemian eye shadows; and accessorize with an eye-catching neckline and chunky accessories. Check out some vintage sites for more affordable options; there are even some online stores where you can get free-spirited hippie dresses and more!
Lace Wedding Gowns. Nothing can really beat the sultry comfort and classic sophistication of a lace wedding gown. Boheme dresses are known for their lace-up back cuts, which allow the bride to move her arms and legs freely as she walks down the aisle. Look for bohemian dresses in shades of turquoise and purple; maybe even some in bright orange for a pop of color that’s sure to get everybody’s attention.
Cropped Bodices. An all-natural look is so much fun when it comes to wearing Boho dresses that accentuate the hips with cropped skirts and bodice detail. These skirts come in many lengths and fabrics, but one great option is a short, cropped skirt with embroidery or barbed wire detailing. Pair this with a simple yet flattering hairstyle – perhaps a side-swept bob – and you’ve got the perfect free-spirited look for the season!
Sleeve Sheets. Nothing gets people’s attention quicker than a bold statement. A great way to create this impact is to team a Sleeve Jacket with one of your favorite bohemian dresses. A sleeveless, button-down blouse worn with a fitted jacket gives your outfit a striking look that’s also easy to move in. Choose one with an embroidered motif to match your outfit; you’ll look gorgeous!
Skirt Heels. A great piece of jewelry to wear with your bohemian dresses is a pair of sexy, yet simple high-heeled boots. These ankle-length boots will keep your bottom in place, making you look as if you’ve stepped out from the catwalk, ready to party all night. Try a red, jewel-encrusted heel to match your bodice and jacket; some other popular shoe colors are black, brown and cognac. You’ll be ready to hit the town in style!
Bell Sleeves and Bodices. This trend continues to be a big one for women’s fashion, and it’s no wonder: it’s both sultry and fun! Choose a flowing, sleeveless gown with bell sleeves (also known as shawls) that drape over the shoulders and falls straight to the floor. Then add on a classic neckline – perhaps a sweetheart neckline with bell sleeves or an empire waist with spaghetti straps – and you have the best place to wear bohemian dresses this spring.
Shoe Finishes. For a dress that will look and feel amazing on you, it’s also important to choose a shoe finish that coordinates with your gown. A satin finish would be ideal for bohemian dresses with a delicate embroidery or charm design; a metallic finish is always a safe bet for dresses that are inspired by free-spirited Bohemian fashion. For a bohemian bridal ensemble, we recommend a chic, patent leather shoe finish.
Fabric. This is another essential factor that will make or break your new bohemian look. The best way to ensure that your outfit looks amazing is to pair it with the right fabric – whether it’s in the form of sheer material or soft, cushy fabrics, you need to feel like you can move in it. Boho-chic maxi dresses with flowing sleeves are perfect for a dressy, caressed look; they’re also ideal for wearing with tights, since they drape the body beautifully.
Skirts, Tank tops, leggings, and dresses. We’ve discussed the skirt above; if you’d like to complete an outfit, try experimenting with other accessories to create a more bohemian look. Lace skirts, bolero jackets, and cashmere sweaters are great ways to add bohemian dresses to your spring and summer wardrobe!
