Summer BoHo Guide

BoHo is a unique style of Bohemian meets Hippie styles! Notorious for its long, flowing skirts voluminous peasant tops, knits & fringe, this trend is unmistakable when you see it! No matter how chic, classic or trendy you are, we all have an inner flower child that can embrace some part of this great style!

Mozza

Your key to making this trend work for you is to surrender that defined, curvy figure you normally work to achieve. BoHo is about flow so pick a flowing knitted dress, the knit will cling to show off your curves without looking too structured. If you feel like you need the structure a wider belt at the waist will do the trick! Try a wide sleeved top with a funky BoHo print. The sleeves are wide but the torso is cut so you will show the small waist while still rocking this relaxed trend.

Chala

The key to making this trend work for you is all about balance. Your body is already balanced & this trend's pieces tend to be full. If you add volume to one half be sure to counter balance the other half! Pair a flowy dress with a thick leather belt for perfect! The pleats created on the top & bottom will add balanced fullness while the belt defines a smaller waist without being overly structured.  A delicate knitted top paired with a slightly skirt is a great choice for you as well! The slight volume from the bulk of the knit is offset by the skirt.

Tawnie

The key to making this trend work for you is minimize the volume in the pieces your choose. With all of the knit, poof & frills of the trend your small body can become overwhelmed. Try on a peasant style dress with a draw string or elastic waist or one that is easily belted. This will help pull the fabric to your body & not overwhelm you. A tank that has some structure in the shoulders then flows out will  make your bust look bigger and create the illusion of slight curves when paired with a boyfriend cut jean.

Jozie

The key to making the trend work for you is adding volume to your top half while controlling the volume on the bottom. BoHo is great for adding neckline details. This extra stitching or detailing will draw the eye up toward the bust and make it look fuller. Keep any dresses loosely belted at minimum to keep the fabric close so it doesn't create more lower volume. A voluminous tunic with a pair of well fitting short or jeans is a simple yet flattering pair up!

Suza

The key to making this trend work for you is all about the flow! Peasant tops with their pleating create a beautiful flow over the torso! Sleeves that flow out slightly show your slender upper arms but don't bring more volume down toward the waist. A flowing dress that ties or belts high, right under the bust is oh so BoHo but keeps the flow loose in the right spots; showing off the bust flowing over the torso and hitting right at or slightly above the knee to create an amazing look on your body!

Lola

The key to making this trend work for you is taking advantage of the volume that comes with a BoHo look! BoHo dresses, tops & skirts all tend to have more volume at the bottom which works great on your slender lower half. A peasant dress that has built in waist definition will create a great volume right over the hips to give you a sexy shape! Look for peasant tops with V or U shaped necklines that hit along the hip bones. This neckline will pull the eye down & in while the volume from the pleats gives the most volume where the fall at the hips!
