They range from trendy teens to women in their 40s and 50s who grew up in a hippie household.

Here are the typical traits:

Women with an exotic look such as dark hair and warm complexion. This is simply because of the boho color palette that looks amazing on their coloring. We have the tendency to be attracted to clothes and colors that look good on us!
Women who have a laid-back attitude and life philosophy (which also includes mature gals who grew up in the 60s/70s or by hippie parents)
Artsy and creative women. They usually favor art and are into mixing styles and colors

You can also find trendy gals who try to pull off this look - but mostly because it looks cool ;-) Have fun with it, but you'll know when this isn't your true style. You can also interpret it differently with your own personal style.

Key Elements of Bohemian Fashion Style

Many associate bohemian fashion style with ragged, hippie clothes. And I completely understand why.

I’ve seen so many girls and young women on the streets trying to pull off a boho look but honestly, they end up looking like street beggars. They have too much going on in their outfit with either heaps of accessories and multiple long layers that drag down their body frame (I cringe whenever I see this on skinny, short girls).

This artsy-fartsy-hippie way of dressing boho is not my cup of tea. You want the clothes to reflect who you are by letting your outfit breathe to make room for your fabulous personality to shine through.

You want to look boho-chic – as in modern and well-dressed. Not super-sloppy. It’s about mixing the old with new, trendy with the classics. And of course, making sure the clothes look fab on your body figure and match with your personal fashion style.
