Deciding the best dress to wear to a wedding can be quite tricky at times. It is so hard to pick a dress to wear. I mean, what if there is a colour theme or not? Most of the time you are told about it, but it can be a bit tricky to dress up when you are not aware of it. You definitely do not want to look like the odd one there. Well, it is not really about the theme even, you can easily call your friends or the bride to ask if there is any specific theme to follow. With that problem being solved, the struggle does not completely end here.

The bohemian style of fashion is a sultry and beautiful style. It is feminine and represents and tries to show a woman’s body in the most beautiful way. It is a trend that many brands try to incorporate within their lines and try to work on. 2020 might be the year for you to find the inner Bohemian goddess within you and to let it bloom. When we speak about the style of bohemian fashion, it doesn’t need to represent that specific style – it could mean your grandmother’s old watch or a patch of skirt from your childhood. It means to individually represent you and your freedom in a particular style. Boho or Bohemian fashion is quite a young style of fashion which originated in the 1960s, which was a time where people were being liberated, free and it’s from a time of artists and fashionable people.

The main elements of bohemian fashion are:

1. The use of natural fabrics

When we consider bohemian fashion or the history of it, we see very natural fabrics being used in it. Fabrics such as linen, velvet, chiffon, silk, fur, suede, leather, and denim. All these fabrics have a natural source that can be found in nature and can be extracted through that.

• Multilayered textures

In bohemian fashion, there is a use of multi-layered textures meaning hard with soft, like leather with velvet. Then tend to contrast and compare materials to one another.

• Comfort

The key and most essential element of bohemian fashion is comfort. There is comfort in every single aspect of it. Especially when we consider shoes, the shoes will never be stilettos or something that tends to cause discomfort, rather its wedges or shoes which are calming to the feet. Even the material used or the styles of the clothes are made to be comfortable and soothing to the body.

• Accessories

Accessories are again very common in bohemian fashion and not just one accessory, but a lavish amount of accessories. This means bracelets, rings, anklets, and necklaces. They tend to layer these accessories with one another so on your neck you could have 3-4 different necklaces and could wear a bunch of bracelets. It’s their distinct style in bohemian fashion.

• Natural tones

The colors that are usually used in bohemian fashion are very nature related meaning lots of browns, pastels, green. This also automatically implies that there is no use of neon in bohemian fashion. People tend to wear clothes that resemble the colors that are found in nature.

• Patterns

In bohemian fashion, the existence of patterns is also something that is distinct about them. With checks, ethnic patterns, floral and more they really have the most beautiful clothes with tons of patterns within them. These patterns can be minimal and can go up to an avant-garde style too depending on the person.
