1. What is Boho style?
Terms such as “Boho-Style”, “Boho-Fashion” and “Boho-Interior” flood our world both on social media and outside of them. But what does “Boho” really mean, what is the story behind this word and how it is confused with so many other looks and styles?

Boho style clothes
Wear different textures and patterns of clothes on top of each other. Since this particular look has its roots in the nomads who traveled with all their belongings, this means that they put their clothes on top of each other both to keep warm and not to carry a huge weight. Choose long flowy skirts in a comfortable line as well as dresses. Pair them with leather, fur, or denim vests. Of course, do not forget that embroidery has its place in any plus size boho outfit you choose.
Boho style shoes and accessories
For shoes, we recommend boots in earth tones but also sandals for a more summer ensemble. For a bag, keep anything that has fringes, embroidery and fur.

2. History of boho trend
The word boho is an abbreviation of the word bohemian, it comes from a group of non-conventional, French artists such as poets, writers, and painters, who lived in the 1930s and reacted to the middle-class way of life. The bohemians created their own image which had as its main purpose to stand out from the masses. The characteristics of the bohemians were the indifference to life and worries, the carelessness, the constant joy, the waste of money, the dreams for new and bigger income, so that they can ensure the same way of life for the next day. Being bohemian at that time was not a fashion but a way of life and a way of expression. Bohemians had their own ideology about art, society, political beliefs, and sexuality. They differed in the way they dressed, in the way they decorated their homes but also in the way they dealt with money and its use. Well-known “bohemians” were the poet Paul Verlaine and the painter Gauguin.

3. Other influences of Bohemian fashion
Bohemian fashion is not only influenced by the bohemian movement that began in Paris, but also by nomads from Bohemia in the Czech Republic. The group called Gypsies or Roma is called “bohemiens” in French. But do not confuse them with the Roma that come to mind, nor with the gipsy look. They are groups that have different priorities from the dominant cultures of their societies, groups that inspire both contempt and envy.
From the moment these two roots come together, the style of the clothes is the result of a beautiful mix of colors, patterns, and fabrics.

Instead of following the classic fashion, the bohemians turned to the very opposite choices of the bourgeoisie (It is a French word and comes from the word “bourgeois”, which means “inhabitant of a city”. ). They chose instead of tight and strict clothes with hard fabrics, long, light and comfortable clothes. They avoided gray and brown and preferred white, green, and red colors for their clothes. Along with the Czech influences, the boho style soon gained substance but more and more supporters embraced influences from other cultures and have remained known to this day.
