What is bohemian chic?

Bohemian chic is a collection of inspirations straight out of the 19th century for bohemian style, and the 1970s for hippie fashion. Bohemia, formerly part of what is now the Czech Republic, was once associated with the free, wandering and often carefree people of Eastern Europe. In the end, it was the fusion of the bohemian trend and the hippy style that gave rise to bohemian chic. Truly inspired by history, this style is now mostly represented by flowing, ethical or artistic pieces, but always crafted to represent women's freedom and a particularly relaxed lifestyle.

Boho chic outfits

The boho chic style may be simple and relaxed, but it's also very precise, cultivating a look that's both elegant and close to nature. If you dream of creating a bohemian style for yourself, you'll find the clothes you need at Elora: our makeover coaches will suggest the boho outfits best suited to your body shape, while adapting to your tastes and style.

• Bohemian chic clothing, or boho chic, is mostly made from natural materials found in nature: mainly wool, linen, silk or cotton. The colours are generally neutral and natural: brown, white, pale pink or coppery shades. Eco-friendly women's clothing is also often part of the bohemian chic trend.
• For a bohemian chic wardrobe, opt for crocheted, lacy garments in many light shades, reminiscent of the colourful look of bohemian women and their love of fantasy.
• The outfits are fluid and comfortable to wear: tunics, loose-fitting shirts, long dresses..
• Floral motifs are in the limelight.

Accessories for this hippie chic look

Bohemian chic women add elegance to their outfits with perfectly matched accessories. A small, trendy handbag is sure to be a hit: especially if it's made from natural materials, preferably with fringes! A floral headband or a headband with a multicoloured pattern to hold your hair in place, a bit hippy-style, or a pair of round sunglasses.

Boho chic hairstyles

Women who cultivate the bohemian look like to keep their hair loose and natural. If you want to style your hair in line with this trend, then leave out the frills and overly sophisticated styles and opt for simplicity. Most hair is long and slightly wavy, but if you have short hair, you can style it bohemian chic. A crown of flowers, a braid that holds the hair back, a small tousled bun... avoid dyes and opt for a real return to naturalness.

Bohemian chic make-up

When it comes to bohemian chic make-up, go for a natural look because it's so easy to achieve! Choose a slightly dark foundation cream to give you a tanned look, as if you'd been on holiday in the sun. The skin should be even, with no redness. Highlight your eyes with a light stroke of pencil: you can also use eyeshadow, as long as you choose natural shades: ochre, gold, etc
