How to Wear a Boho Dress

When shopping for bohemian style dresses, there are hundreds of colour schemes, fabrics and styles to peruse. Whether you prefer feminine mini lengths, eye-catching all over prints or understated patterns, we can guarantee there’s a bohemian inspired dress out there that you’ll fall in love with.

Once you’ve chosen your dream bohemian style dress, there’s an endless number of ways you can wear and style it to make it your own. Here, we’ve chosen some of our favourite pieces and top styling tips to inspire your next boho look.

Summer Maxi Dress

This look combines our favourite season – Summer – with one of our favourite styles: the maxi dress. Effortlessly elegant, a maxi dress will have you feeling put together, on trend and comfortable all season long. Look for a maxi dress with an all over print and flowing A-line silhouette that hems just above your feet. On warm afternoons, pair this dress with a wide-brimmed woven hat, a gorgeous woven bag and a pair of flat leather sandals.

Boho Mini Dress

One element that most bohemian inspired dresses have in common is a breezy skirt that skims your figure and moves gracefully with your body, whether it’s a mini, midi or maxi style. When finding your ideal boho style mini dress, look for a piece that flows over your hips and finishes around mid thigh. For a festival ready look, pair it with western style cowboy boots and a cross body bag adorned with tassels and suede, or add a touch of elegance with heeled mules and golden jewels.

Long Sleeve Dress

Billowing puff sleeves, blouson bodices and deep, rich colour palettes come together seamlessly to create the most stunning long sleeve bohemian style dress that’s ideal for the cooler months. Stay warm and layer with an oversized leather jacket or faux fur piece and complete your look with knee high biker style boots to give your outfit a unique edge.

Bodycon Dress

Unlike the breezy silhouettes of most bohemian style dresses, a bodycon dress gives a firm fit and hugs your figure in all the right places. Combine this silhouette with a midi length hem and an elegant off the shoulder neckline for a piece that can be easily dressed up or down. Slip on a bodycon dress in a striking colour scheme and all over print for a beautifully flattering look. Keep it casual with sneakers or flat sandals and a cross body bag or level up your look with a pair of heels.

The beauty of the bohemian trend is that you can dress it up or down and accessorise it to make it uniquely you. Find a dress style that makes you feel confident and comfortable and pair it with layers, shoes and accessories to let your personality shine through.
