Casual Comfort or BoHo Chic?
The colour palette of this theme – with browns, rusts, greens
and beiges dominating – lends itself mostly to casual dressing.
There are, however, some more business-like suits in tweeds and
herringbones for those with a more corporate lifestyle and some
floral, vintage style maxi-dresses for those who love the BoHo
look for evening. Denim also mixes well with this theme with bootleg
jeans seeing a welcome return after several season of skinny-leg
styles.
Put your BoHo look together from the following:

Layer It On
The secret of a successful BoHo look li es in the interesting mix of styles,
fabrics and accessories. Don’t be afraid to mix rough and smooth textures
or ‘romantic’ garments with ‘practical’ accessories.
A rough tweed jacket and jeans looks great combined with a satin blouse and pearls;
a floaty, floral dress can look sensational with a woolly scarf and wellies.
Layer different fabrics and patterns together – a shaggy gilet over a paisley
blouse with a suede skirt and thick ribbed tights – all topped off with
a floppy 70’s hat. Use this folksy theme to express your individuality,
creativity and personality.
Select your BoHo Accessories from the following:
- Suede Boots
