Bohemian Style

Beautiful bohemian dress...
 celebritystyleguide

The Bohemian style is natural and care-free. It is flowing and fresh. The bohemian dresser is self-expressive and appreciates different cultures, mixing them into her style. (African, Indian, Gypsy :) When people think of the bohemian style, hippies are often the first image to come to mind. Although the bohemian style does resemble the hippie style in its floral prints, headbands, and loose dresses, the bohemian style keeps moving with modern trends. A hippie is stuck in the 70s. A bohemian dresser is casually care-free, and simply stylish. Accessories tell a story, and the bohemian dresser knows that power. The Bohemian style focuses on accessories, so don’t skimp on them! :D

Modesty Score: How does the Bohemian style stack up? Bohemian style is a lot like “Romantic Style” in this category. Beware sheer fabrics, and make sure to wear a slip or camisole if necessary. Make sure the skirt or dress will not be lifted up by the wind! (you know what happens then…) Also make sure that your shirt will not gap when you lean over to pick something up etc. But overall, the Bohemian style is fairly modest, because everything is so loose and flowing.

Femininity Score: The Bohemian style does quite well in this section. Long flowing skirts and dresses dominate this style, and floral prints are quite feminine too. A word of warning, though. Bohemian clothing has very earthy tones, so be sure to mix those with beautiful feminine colors and prints. The easiest way to be feminine is to mix the bohemian style with the romantic style. They can be very similar, and they complement each other very well.

Age Appropriate Score: The Bohemian style must be adjusted with age. But that is simple if you follow the guidelines in the “Age Appropriate Style” post. :)
