How To Dress Bohemian

Hi, my name's Alexia, and I'm a fashion stylist, and I'm here in the heart of East London at the Pattern Market. This area is one of Britain's trendiest areas for a lot fashion designers and people who are heavily into the related scene. Let's go inside and I'll show you some things on how to dress! So you're interested in the Bohemian style.

To get the Bohemian look, think back to the 70's. It was a romantic era with long floaty dresses, often with floral prints, lots of kind of lace, very romantic feel to things. We're looking at dresses that have flowers and long swades of fabric, etc.

That's what you're going to be looking for to kind of be Bohemian. Think long, wispy hair, beautiful 70's shapes, such as this, it's all about summer romance. So the maxi dress has been a huge hit with women, especially in Hollywood as well, because it is so forgiving on the shape.

The empire line sits just underneath the bust, so it gives a great cleavage, but also hides a multitude of sins as well. This is another beautiful example of something that should be dressed up to be quite Bohemian. But the trick with the Bohemian look is not simply in the cut of the dress, it's also in how you accessorize.

Accessorizing for the Bohemian look is a huge part of it, and usually you're going to be looking at huge chunky beads. There's plenty, and usually the more, the better, to accessorize with things. Anything large, chunky, beaded, crystallized, will help you achieve that particular look that we're going for.

The other thing to accessorize as well is bangles, and with Bohemia, more. definitely more. So you want to start loading up bangles along the arm, and piling more jewelry on. It's got that quality between Western and ethnic romance to it, and the more that you pile up, the more kind of fabulous the look's going to be.

With Bohemian style, as well, look for wide, straw-brimmed hats, and think early Nova magazine. That will be the look for you. .
