What is it? How to use?
The fashion of the time, without a doubt, is to adhere to Boho. This style is present on many occasions, which is why it can range from casual, informal and even more sophisticated looks, bearing the name of Boho Chic.
Full of inspirations in handmade fashion, this style can be confused with Hippie, for using natural elements, handmade pieces, crochet, lace, leather, suede and a lot of accessories.
Many people also resemble the Folk style by using country references, such as fringes, hats and boots.
But what are the differences between these styles and Boho?
good, the 70s hippie is very present in the Boho style, that no one can deny. However, the hippies gave a more slovenly quality to the look. It was a counterculture movement, when they wanted to preach peace and love to the capitalist world.
Folk is purely American in origin., with influence from regions such as Texas. So this fashion predominates the use of pieces used by cowboys and residents of rural areas of the United States. We can see earthy tones, fringes, leather, vests, boots and other pieces inspired by country style. Folk looks are more unpretentious and less delicate than Boho.
What about Boho?!
The word boho comes from Bohemian of soho, a French movement that emerged in the New York neighborhood of Soho in the 20s. wanted to unite art and fashion in one context.
But this style gained much more strength in the decade 70 – at the time of the hippie movement -, in the Soho neighborhood, in London (that's right, it's a neighborhood with the same name, but located in England).
That's when Bohemian + SoHo = Boho came together! That's why he has more European than American influences, unlike hippie and folk.
And what inspired the creation of this style were the elegance and delicacy of European fashion, loaded with vintage elements, but without leaving the purity and relaxation of hippie and folk.
We can see ethnic prints and small florals, lots of lace, crochet, knitting, Floppy hats, metal and rhinestone accessories, round glasses, long skirts, smocks, kimonos and many pieces with the handmade line.
So if you want to venture into the Boho style, wear and abuse comfortable and fluid pieces that have a light fit. And to oppose and mix trends, mix with leather and jeans pieces.
You can create more sober looks, with neutral colors and common models. Or you can also innovate with more creative pieces, mixing textures and colors, for example.
It is also worth knowing that the Boho style is much more than fashion: it is lifestyle.
Anyone can follow this trend when dressing, but those who really identify with this style prefer to lead an alternative life and value love and friendship a lot.
In addition, they value nature and all types of arts, such as music, painting, literature, among others. These people are also usually more spiritual and travel the world to meet new cultures and peoples.
