Winter in boho-chic

Boho-Chic has been a recurring phenomenon in the fashion atmosphere. Call it "bobo", "gypsy", "festival chic", or even "cocktail grunge", the basics remain close to the natural unkempt look with lots of patterns and fringes. Now that winter is almost here, we have come up with a few things you can add up to create that perfect bohemian look. Hear us out. 

Scarves: Wear a deep green or brown scarf around the neck. Fringes are a plus with this look. You can also make a half turban out of a patterned scarf if you want to wear an ornamental neckpiece. 

Crochet: Stick to the classics with a white crochet top or add some earthy colours to brighten up the winter. Also, try colourful crochet shrugs over base coloured tops and get cozy.

Jeans: Jeans are easy options for winter. Make them boho with your choice of "boyfriend" or "flared" jeans.

Hats: Find a floppy hat to go with your style. Even though winters here don't make hats a necessity, keep one for the beach or even for an evening out. 

Jewelry: Boho jewelry is earthy and chunky. Choose a mexican style woven bracelet or a big ring. If you're wearing a half-turban, dangling earrings will go well. Experiment with the materials and also try a fringe necklace if you have been avoiding fringes in your outfit until now. 

Makeup: Long black eyelashes are a must with the boho look. Use shades of brown, gold, or nude to add mystery to your eyes and natural, neutral shades for the rest of your face.  

Shoes: Suede shoes with stitches and needle patterns scream boho right away. However, well paired ethnic sandals, ankle boots, or even cowboy boots will do the job effortlessly

Hair: One word. Waves.
