How to Dress Bohemian for Work
In literal sense, being Bohemian means being unconventional by all means. For decades, women in many parts of the world have taken inspiration from the notions of free spirit and defiance in the contemporary norms of dressing. Ask any fashion pundit and they will tell you that the bohemian style is one’s state of mind and will add that regardless of how much time passes by, this particular statement will never fade into oblivion. During the 60s and 70s, this dressing was a fashion statement and even today, it has its effect.

The main rule of dressing bohemian is being ethnic. In order to do this particular type of clothing, you should bear in mind that the colours should reflect nature and everything that is natural about life.

The look should be simple and raw in order to convey the bohemian philosophy or bohemian state of mind. Psychedelic prints in colours would look really great. Try Moroccan kitsch prints or prints of the ancient Sanskrit.

In creating a bohemian clothing, embroidery plays an immense role. Bohemian dressing is at its best when the embroidery is floral or geometric. However, don’t go for machine-made embroidery as embroidery done by hand will give it a beautifully imperfect look.
