Long flared dresses, fringed jackets, floral prints … The bohemian style spends the years without ever going out of fashion. Be careful, however, to dose it well! We give you some tips for a bohemian look that's right on trend.
What is bohemian style?
Revealed by the hippie movement, which appeared in the 1960s in the United States, the bohemian style was marked by icons such as Jane Birkin or Janis Joplin. Scarf in the hair, round glasses, kimono with batwing sleeves … The singer's legendary look at the Woodstock festival reflected a new vision of fashion: a wanton, colorful and uninhibited fashion.
But over the years, the bohemian style has never stopped evolving and it-girls reinvent it every season to stick to new fashion trends. If it broke the codes in the sixties, the famous "boho" look changes but never loses its real DNA. For a trendy and fashionable look, just choose the right pieces and the right combinations. Our instructions for use.
The key materials of the bohemian style
Bohemian style is often synonymous with comfort and naturalness. There are indeed natural materials such as linen or cotton, but also more chic fabrics such as lace. Finally, crochet or even jeans are also essential materials of the bohemian style.
A flagship material of the bohemian style, suede invites itself into our wardrobe to bring a little retro touch to our look! The most classic piece remains the famous fringed jacket, but suede is also trendy on a bag or a pair of ankle boots. When it comes to colors, we prefer black or camel.
It is partly thanks to the hippie movement that jeans are today one of those timeless materials that we certainly wear every year. Ultra casual, the denim jacket mixes with flared white dresses and long flower-printed skirts. Popularized in the 70s, high waisted jeans – white or raw – also adapt to the bohemian style.
On the neckline of a dress or the sleeves of a blouse, lace guarantees a boho-chic look that's right on trend. These are the little details that will bring softness and romanticism to your outfit and that will make all the difference! Be careful with the choice of color, however, we prefer white or ecru lace which goes better with the bohemian style.
The crochet – preferably white – is also one of the flagship materials of the bohemian style. Needless to say, crochet comes in many clothes: dress, shorts, skirt, kimono, tank top … You won't have a hard time finding the piece of your dreams for a bohemian look that's perfect for Coachella lawns !

Accessories for a trendy bohemian style
Bohemian at will, the bandana is the accessory you need for a top "boho" look. If the bandana in the hair is undoubtedly the most popular way to wear this fashionable piece that is both rock and hippie, it can also be worn as a top, around the neck or tied at the wrist.
Any bohemian outfit is accessorized with jewelry. And the more, the better! They are chosen in an ethnic style, in silver or in aged metal and encrusted with turquoise stones. Bracelets, necklaces, rings … We do not hesitate to accumulate them around the neck or wrists.
To be worn in summer rather than winter, sunglasses are one of the accessories to adopt for a bohemian and vintage style. You will have the choice between two models: round or XXL sunglasses that will complement your outfit perfectly.
In interior decoration, rattan is the "trendy" material of the moment. But we don't just like it in decoration, we also appreciate it in fashion and more particularly worn in a handbag! The rattan handbag is chosen round with a wooden handle to keep the "natural" side of the bohemian style.
