Four Must-Have Boho Chic Items For Summer
Women look at the likes of Sienna Miller and want to own her style. Please Ms Miller, can I come along for the ride?! It’s human nature to see someone as stunning as Sienna and try to copy her style. We all want to look as good and turn heads on the street. Plus, boho chic is one of the all-time faves for women around the globe. It’s a no-brainer.
But, glancing at a photo in a glossy mag isn’t going to cover all of the bases. To nail the style, there are four must-haves which have to lurk in your wardrobe. You can find them underneath.
Maxi Skirt
A maxi skirt isn’t as synonymous with boho as, say, a leather biker jacket. Sure, it is easy to find one with polka dots and spots and stripes to add to the look, but it’s more about the flexibility. You can match this type of skirt with almost any piece that already calls the closet home. Those flats which don’t go with anything other than shorts? They do now. What about the jumper for when the British weather inevitably worsens? You can max it out with a maxi. You’ll turn to this piece again and again without shame throughout the summer.
A Sundress
There is no calling it summer with a sundress. The clue is in the title for God sake. Practicality-wise, it’s a cool and refreshing piece of kit which keeps everything from boiling. And, you can even go braless and swan around with comfort for once. How novel. From a style perspective, opt for a printed number that utilises flowers. The colour from the print should contrast the dress seamlessly. Matched with wedge sandals, there is no way you won’t feel like a million bucks. The casual types can throw on a denim vest to free it up a little.
Piercings
Metal in the ears is something the majority of women use to their advantage. Earrings are excellent accessories as they add something new to an outfit. The shine and gloss are difficult to replicate anywhere else. But, boho chic isn’t about following the status quo. Oh, no, Lady Sienna would be ever so disappointed. Instead, it’s about branching out and trying new things. With this in mind, consider belly bars and piercings in places that aren’t generic. A belly button piercing is brilliant in the summer because tops tend to be shorter and the torso is showing.
A Floppy Hat
Is there a better way to stand out from the crowd than with a floppy-brimmed hat? Absolutely no one wears these nowadays unless they are brave enough to try something new. Even the fashionistas are obsessed with other fads and have no time for sunhats these days. You do, though, because they add an element of casualness to proceedings. And, they are flexible. Paired with sunglasses they look the bomb. Let’s face facts – everyone needs UV protection too.
