Boho-style sundresses are a great way to demonstrate the ability to combine things of opposite spirit. Images of Parisian bohemia, a reflection of the hippie-culture worldview, echoes of intoxicating gypsy freedom - all this has a place in the boho.
Style features
The term “boho” itself owes its birth to Bohemia, on whose territory camps roamed. In France, it was the custom to call “bohemia” representatives of creative professions - artists, singers and actors. These non-standard personalities preferred to dress differently than others.
The boho framework is rather vague - from the moment of its appearance to the present day it is one of the most eclectic styles, combining comfort and style, naturalness and challenge. Currently, it is customary to subdivide boho into several subspecies:
- Boho-hippie is an echo of the merry 60s of the last century: the most vivid and expressive sundresses, an abundance of knitted details and fringe, the active use of burlap and sheepskin;
- Boho-glamor is the direct opposite of hippie aesthetics: stylish sundresses, in decorating of which there is a place both for traditional guipure and chiffon, and for unexpected fur splashes;
- Boho-classic is a true Parisian chic: when creating sundresses, the designer prefers velvet, jacquard, mohair and various types of knitwear;
- Boho-eco is an actual trend at the junction of striving for vintage and caring for the environment: for the most part, natural fabrics are used for tailoring sundresses.
For the first time boho sundresses appear on the catwalks of Milan and Paris in the first half of the zero. At the same time, a modern idea of the boho style as such is formed. One of the first "icons" boho was Kate Moss. The blurring of borders and frames allows designers to stylize boho-style sundresses under the grunge and folk, casual and hippie aesthetics, which makes such outfits a truly universal piece of clothing.
Models
No matter how varied the variants of the boho sundresses are, the final word is always left to the free cut: a loose skirt, flying fabrics and the maximum naturalness of the silhouette. Boho sundress can be found both in a solemn female image and in everyday life. The harmony of this element of clothing can not be overestimated - exquisite femininity is appropriate everywhere and always!
The boho style allows for both “skirts” and short versions above the knee. One of the latest trends are increasingly becoming sundresses with asymmetric length, in which the long hem at the back is adjacent to the short one on the “front” part. Another actual variation: a sundress, covering the knees and trimmed along the bottom edge with lace.
For women with magnificent forms, the boho sundresses are indispensable. The free cut does not hinder movement, gives confidence in every gesture and unobtrusively camouflages flaws. The skirt “to the floor” visually pulls the silhouette of its owner and adds slimness in the eyes of others.
Depending on the style, boho-sundresses are worn as an independent piece of clothing or they build a composite image using all the advantages of this style. For example, a sundress-apron will be a real find for connoisseurs of vintage items. Artificially aged version with stylish worn and “worn” does not hide the merits of the thing over which he wears.
Some boho sundresses are not sewn, but knit. Needlewomen decided long ago on how exactly you need to knit a boho-sundress: the loin technique is considered ideal for this. Sirloin knitting is based on imitation of lace, so the resulting outfits always look lacy and airy.
Fabrics
Given the history of the boho-style, the creators of clothes tend to make the most of natural materials and fabrics. When sewing boho sundresses, chiffon and suede, wool and silk, corduroy and knitwear, leather and denim, cotton and linen are used. From the very beginning, sustainability has become the cornerstone of boho aesthetics.
In the boho sundresses there are often elements of embroidery. Some sundresses are completely knitted from flax by hand with both knitting and crocheting. Real handmade is effectively intertwined with both hippie culture and salon-bohemian images. Many designers when creating sundresses boho willingly use prints and bright colors. The eternal classics of boho can be called geometric, ethnic and floral motifs.
What to wear?
Boho-style sundresses are appropriate for making almost any female image. They are perfectly combined with vests and kimonos, fur caftans or denim jackets. A boho sundress can be worn over a tunic shirt - both items of clothing will benefit from such an alliance. You can add look with leggings and harem pants. Shoes are welcome almost any - and sandals, "Roman", and ballet flats, and even lightweight sneakers with army boots.
Any boho sundress is literally saturated with tenderness, so creative girls going to the altar often choose this solution when ordering a wedding dress. The main difference between a boho wedding dress and a classic wedding dress is that in the case of a boho, there is no need for a veil. It is easily and gracefully replaced by a string of beads or pearls, a coquettish cap of lace, or the interweaving of fresh flowers into the hair of a lady.
The importance of accessories for a girl who chooses a boho sundress cannot be underestimated in any way. Properly selected accessories are half, if not a large component of the image. Its key element will be the bag.
It's time to say goodbye to clutches and other "toy" handbags - bags-bags go on the scene. Large, suede, worn over the shoulder, stylized as a hunting game or a cowboy saddle with a fringe.
As for the jewelry, there is a wide choice under the sundress-boho. Flashy earrings decorated with rings and feathers, even flash jewelery tattoo, temporary metallic tattoos, which are a decorative part of the image, will go well with him. In the boho-style jewelry plays a huge role: all these beads, brooches, wreaths and bracelets can be either miniature or have a deliberately large shape.
The most important thing in boho is to find the right formula that emphasizes the trend, rather than exaggerating it. In order to create a trendy look and not look like a “crazy gypsy”, two or three accessories are enough.
Beautiful images
The image - a reference to the classic games of cowboys and Indians. Complicated decoration on the neck, resembling the iconic Indian "dream catcher", is fresh and original combined with a sundress stylized as cowboy outfits. High boots and extra accessories make the look complete.
A dress created in the image and likeness of a patchwork quilt instantly evokes associations with Woodstock and the era of the children of flowers. A narrow band “fenichka” on the forehead, interlacing of leather bracelets and other ethno-elements and ask in the San Francisco of the 60s!
A fantasy image that would have gone to a fairy-tale princess, slightly modified for the sake of color harmony. The "layered" structure of the dress and the fake decor, which is part of the sundress, look very unusual.
