Boho-chic is one of the newest trends in the fashion world. An excellent solution is considered this style for full ladies, as it gives them the opportunity to wear comfortable clothes, feeling at the same time stylish and confident. He is in demand among obese women.
Appearance history
A number of experts believe that the Boho style owes its name to the Gypsies, more precisely, to the Bohemian region in the Czech Republic, where they lived in many places and from which they sometimes moved to France. Ignoring the generally accepted fashionable rules, these nomads developed their own unusual and vivid style of dress, the main feature of which was layering.
Subsequently, the new direction had to taste the people of art, in fact, the same nomads, constantly moving from place to place in search of new impressions and inspiration.
In the 60s of the last century, boho became popular among hippies.
But according to the designers, in 2000, Kate Moss gave impetus to the modern boho-style, which risked putting on things that seemed to be completely not glamorous and not even compatible with each other.
Today it is a fashion trend equally in demand in various social and age groups.
Distinctive features
Modern designers use a new direction to create numerous collections, including those for the beautiful half with magnificent forms.
Its features are:
- simple cut;
- practicality;
- the use of exclusively natural fabrics (cotton, wool, linen, burlap, knitwear, less often fur);
- bright prints in the form of asymmetrical patterns and ethnic ornaments;
- layering in the form of longline skirts, frills, or wearing several pieces, dressed one on another;
- use of a large number of various parts;
- lack of tight-fitting silhouettes;
- texture - wrinkled, uneven, rough, scuffed, chopped and shaggy materials;
- universality - it can be easily combined with other fashion trends and styles;
- an incompatible combination - here a summer dress can easily be combined with boots and a wide-brimmed hat. Knitwear can also complement the look, for example, openwork sweaters in tandem with a sundress;
- lack of heels.
The loose fit makes the boho clothes ideal for obese women, allowing you to hide figure flaws. A bright prints and accessories emphasize individuality and allow you to look stylish, fashionable and attractive.
Unlike other areas, where modest styles with almost no decorations and additions in the form of frills and laces are offered for women with lush shapes, almost everything is possible here. But in moderation. The main thing when creating an image is not to overload it and correctly place accents.
The use of large and catchy accessories (massive bracelets, elongated pendants, long beads in several tiers and scarves) will help to divert attention from the features of the figure. But it is important to remember that all the decorations that complement the bow must be exclusively natural, just like the fabrics used. The best option are decorative additions handmade.
What to consider when choosing?
Looking beautiful and stylish is the natural desire of a woman at any age and with any form. And here again boho-style comes to the rescue. In boho outfits, women of age can visually not only lose those extra pounds, but also look younger by a few years.
To accomplish a miracle, it is enough just to pay special attention to some points:
- Cut. Things should not hang in a bag and resemble a shapeless case. It is necessary to choose models decorated with vertical patterns that "stretch" the figure.
- Length. An excellent option for women after 50 with a fluffy figure will not only be dresses and maxi skirts, but also models of medium length.
- Style. Even aged ladies should abandon simple canopies and pay attention to A-shaped silhouettes, high-waisted dresses or trapezoid models. Each of these styles is able to reliably mask the flaws of the figure and its age-related changes.
- Colour. The style itself is quite bright. But full of fashionable women is better to choose an image that combines no more than three contrasting tones. If there are drawings on things, you should choose those that combine several shades of the same color.
- Asymmetry. Using this "trick" will allow you to divert attention from the figure and emphasize individuality.
- Accessories. Will help in the transformation of large glasses, a scarf or a light scarf. A good diversion would be to use a wide-brimmed hat and a large-sized bag.
Original outfits
Boho style is improvisation, a flight of fancy. However, here the fashion dictates its own rules. Simplicity and carelessness in the clothes of this direction are only apparent. In fact, every detail must be carefully considered.
To create a unique, vivid image, it is recommended that full members of the fair sex combine maxi dresses or skirts with elongated knitted cardigans, complementing all this with a straw hat and a bag with ethnic motifs.
In summer, you can wear a flared skirt of maximum length with a linen or cotton blouse decorated with lace, ruffles, ethnic ornaments or fringe. The knitted bolero and sundresses of a free cut are perfectly combined.
At the same time, full ladies should avoid shortened jackets and vests, and aged women should avoid acidic colors in their clothes.
Shoes are selected depending on weather conditions and fashionist's preferences, but the requirement is always taken into account - no heels - only a flat sole. It is possible to use wedge shoes.
Do not give up your favorite style in the cold season. A bright winter look will help to create voluminous sweaters in combination with flared jeans, fur vests, coats or down jackets, complemented by bright accessories.
Also, stylists and designers advise to combine skinny jeans with a knitted sweatshirt or a woolen jacket of coarse, large-knit. From shoes fit shoes or boots.
When creating an image, you can use ready-made design solutions, or you can create something unique. The latter is largely due to the fact that the clothes in the boho-style can be easily sewn on their own by existing or own patterns.
Things must-have in a boho wardrobe
To create your own unique look in the boho-style, you need a lot of elements. The most basic of them are:
- The dress is made of linen fabric A-shaped, straight or fitted in cut (the waist can be a bit high).
- A multi-layered long silk or chiffon dress that can create a feeling of lightness.
- Straight jeans or lightweight trousers.
- Skirt of medium or maximum length. Material production can be almost any, depending on the season.
- Tunic made of fine cotton with ethnic motifs.
In the cold season, this fashionable trend is hard to imagine without:
- Sheepskin coats from Tuscany or Astragana straight cut with voluminous collars.
- Leather or suede jacket in various shades of brown, beige or gray.
- Knitted warm clothes (sweaters, sweaters, skirts).
- Poncho, cardigans, parks.
- Leather or fur vest.
Depending on the situation, preferences, abilities and mood, this “backbone” can be supplemented with other items of clothing and all sorts of accessories.
In addition to the main fabrics (linen, cotton, silk), boho-style for women with curvy shapes welcomes the use of flannel, velvet, wool, knitwear, denim.
From shoes to the bohemian style fit suede and leather pairs (no artificial materials!) Warm colors. It can be boots on a flat sole or on a very small heel with wide tops; various shoes with or without lacing; sandals decorated with stones, coins or leather.
When forming the image, one should not forget about such an important nuance as a hairstyle. It should be as simple and free as all components. The best options are loose hair or casually braided braid, decorated with colorful ribbon or suede braid. Perfectly fit into the overall picture released from the hair a few strands.
