Boho-chic combines bohemian and hippie influences from the 1960s with modern, more neutral fashion for free-spirited everyday wear. At its core, Boho-chic clothing is comfortable, relaxed and artistic. It's characterized by ethnic patterns, embroideries and fringe, and tends to air on the side of colorful, beachy and playful.

Materials are mostly natural cotton, linen and chiffon fabrics, with accents of leather, suede or fur. Fringe, longline or flared silhouettes are common, and create a confident, impactful look. Oversized clothing–such as tunic-style blouses, patterned maxi skirts and dresses with balloon sleeves–are staples in any boho-centered closet.

A defining attribute of the Boho-chic aesthetic is larger, mostly metal-based jewelry. Outfits can lean heavily on bold statement pieces with leather, wood, and bone with beaded detail or gemstone/crystal accents.
Footwear can range from Birkenstocks in the summer to block-heeled ankle boots or cowboy boots in the colder months–the key is that it's comfortable, practical, and natural-looking.
Accessories can include wide-brim or cowboy hats, thick leather belts, crochet or fringe bags, and oversized round sunglasses. A gold nose ring or large dangly earrings adds a special touch.

Take-away & Recommendations:
Texture, like beachy waves, fringe suede, and eclectic jewelry, is central to creating a Boho-chic look, giving a nod to maximalism and ornateness without losing the natural feel. Colorful patterns are a way to give the illusion of texture without the hassle of layering.

Avoid skin-tight silhouettes. Boho-chic emphasizes longlines–such as long hair, long skirts, and oversized jackets–to create a care-free, easy look.
Offset a boho aesthetic with more modern or neutral/pastel elements to create an everyday, balanced look that is uniquely yours.
