How to dress in bohemian style and not look too hippie?

The bohemian style was all the rage in the 60s and early 70s and has seen a resurgence in recent years thanks to celebrities like Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, and the Olsen Twins. They have embraced this natural look and added their own touch of sparkle and glamour for a more hippie-luxe appearance.

Bohemia is undoubtedly fun to wear, but how to style it without looking like you’re stuck in the 70s? Here’s how to dress the boho style with a beautiful hippie dress without looking too laid back.

1 - choose a flowing fabric

Comfortable, loose, and flowing fabrics are part of the "boho vibe", an easy way to don this look is to wear a flowing scarf top.

You’ll look more bohemian than hippie if you focus on two things: quality and fit. The chicest scarf tops are made from luxurious, high-quality fabrics. Choose a smooth, silky fabric, a linen fabric, or a chiffon fabric, and a fabric that is well-finished at the edges. If your top is too rough, too thin, or too transparent, it will look cheap.

Similarly, a loose top is a good thing, but if the scarf top is too bulky or too long, it can give the impression that you’re wearing a tablecloth.

This scarf top is a great example of a beautiful bohemian top. It’s the elegant side, and the V-neck is very flattering for several reasons:

1) showing a bit of skin is youthful

2) the V-neck draws your eye down along the center of the body, making you look long and lean.

I also think this scarf top is particularly pretty because of the asymmetrical cut. It’s longer in the back and on the sides, giving the top a more artistic look.

2. HAVE FUN WITH FUNKY PRINTS

The Boho outfit is an artistic expression and features many funky prints that are colorful and flowing.

When you want to get into the skin of a bohemian, look for pieces that feature eye-catching prints in multiple colors. This fabulous swirling print dress has a fun bohemian vibe. I elevated the look with a sophisticated clutch and patent leather sandals to appear more modern and bohemian.

3. TRY A LONG DRESS

There’s no better way to look bohemian than with a pretty maxi. This mixed print dress with ruffled hem is a classic chic bohemian style. Off-the-shoulder neckline, bell sleeves, and suede heeled pumps bring us into the present, aligning with current trends. A chic white bag with a structured shape gives this outfit a "High-hippie" look.

4. MIX PRINTS

The best way to express the bohemian that is in you is to mix two prints. Small floral patterns are soft, feminine, and very fashionable. They look beautiful combined with a geometric print in the fabric. You can also mix prints within the same outfit. For example, mix a floral top with a paisley print skirt.

5. EMBRACE EARTH TONES

Natural colors are also a key element of the bohemian look. If you don’t like bright colors, then you’ll love the tranquil greens, golds, browns, rusts, and blues that are synonymous with this earthy style of dressing. Natural-colored leather accessories are the perfect complement to these shades. High-quality leather in modern shapes keeps its chic.

6. ADD A TOUCH OF FRINGE

Fringe is fun, fringe is flirty, and fringe is a big part of the bohemian look. A fringed vest, a pretty bag with a touch of fringe, or brand sandals with fringe accents, or even fringe earrings are a great way to add a bit of bohemian to your look. To keep it classy, don’t be trashy.
