Bohemian

Defining characteristics

• Ankle boots, sandals or espadrilles

Colour

Bohemian style favours warm, earthy and saturated tones: terracotta, rust, amber, deep teal, warm white and rich brown. Prints, patterns and mixed textures are embraced and encouraged.

Fit and silhouette

Silhouettes are generally loose, flowing and layered. Volume is welcomed. The fit should feel free, with multiple textures and lengths playing against each other in an easy, uncontrived way.

What to avoid

• Very sleek, minimal or clinical pieces
• Stiff tailoring or structured blazers
• Highly polished or formal combinations
• Synthetic fabrics that lack texture

When it works best

• Festivals and outdoor events
• Holidays and warm-weather travel
• Creative and informal social settings
• Weekend and casual everyday dressing

The instinct behind it

A wardrobe that looks like it has been collected slowly over years of travel and curiosity.
