What we know
about boho chic? That it is a fashion trend said to have been started by
actress Sienna Miller in 2005 after the movie Alfie, where she wore
bohemian-style clothing. That it is partly bohemian (alternative, laid-back and
chilled) and partly chic, meaning classy, glamorous, not over the top or
flashy.

organic, colourful, folk items with simple, modern items.

| Folk motives, maxi skirts, headpieces bring Boho chic on |
The point
of Boho style is to look looking authentic and natural, alternative yet not
trying too hard. Long skirts, baggy tops and accessorizing. Folk motives,
Indian, Moroccan, Gypsy, any of them will work.
But how
about making it more fun and chic? Combining boho, hippie and rave styles
together. Being edgy and cool? Where Burning Man meets Coachella, where your
freedom is just limited by following “formalities” of the dress code?
