Suddenly color and prints are at the front of our closets and we find ourselves wanting to wear loose comfy fits and fun bohemian inspired pieces. Elements like denim, lace, ruffles and embroidery adorn our best bohemian dresses and flowy peasant tops for effortless spring styles that make a fashion statement.
Some of our favorite boho style brands at Mint are fan favorites BB Dakota and Vintage Havana, both brands that bring a trendy casual vibe to their designs. Loose lightweight blouses and casual day dresses top their priority list for summer styles and we can’t get enough of these boho chic ensembles. A lot of the spring season’s hottest trends incorporate classic boho style staples such as off the shoulder, lace up, and crochet details. These boho inspired elements can mix into anyone’s spring and summer wardrobe easily for a relaxed and free spirited approach to summer dressing. If you’ve ever wondered how to work boho styles into your wardrobe, we have some easy pieces that will lend that new bohemian look to your spring and summer style.
Light denim fabrics work well with a boho inspired wardrobe for casual pieces that can be worn with just about anything. This chambray denim dress from BB Dakota is a perfect spring piece to bring out your bohemian side. The romantic off the shoulder dress is ideal for festival season, but also easily mixes with boho accessories for an everyday ensemble. Imagine a long tassel necklace, lace up sandals and retro sunglasses for the ultimate boho chic look that has both romantic and gypsy inspired elements coming together for the perfect summer sundress. The oversize ruffle is feminine yet also free spirited in it’s loose flowy shape and breezy movement adds to the look. The short mini dress fit invokes hippie influences and easy breezy summer style for one dress that can do it all and really needs minimal accessorizing to look fabulous. That said, dressing it up with bohemian chic accessories for a maximalist approach is a fun and easy way to embrace warm weather trends.
Loose breezy blouses are perfect for warm weather, and a touch of boho detailing can really make your outfit pop. We love this Vintage Havana lace up blouse in a pretty light blue shade with dainty floral embroidery for a one-stop outfit making top. The lace up detail adds a suggestively sexy touch while the pretty stitched florals and fringe tassel keep the look sweet and free spirited. This top easily pairs with classic jeans for a clean and sophisticated approach, or would look just darling with a flouncy mini skirt and sandals for a floaty ethereal vibe. Either way, the loose blousy fit and lightweight fabric will keep you cool and casual all season long and will pair beautifully with dangle earrings and stacks of bangles for an enhanced look with folky influences. The embroidered flowers up the front of this top create a subtle yet essential detail which brings a sweet feminine aspect to the look and draws the eye for an effortlessly attention-grabbing ensemble.
Crochet lace is a trend that has taken off with stunning popularity, that definitely found it’s fashionable origins with boho style and 70’s fashion trends. Now we are seeing crochet everywhere, like on this cute little black dress from Vintage Havana. A simple little black dress takes on festival vibes with the crochet lace trimmed hem, loose swingy fit and off the shoulder style. This sundress would be gorgeous from the beach to the bar and everywhere in between, with wedge sandals and colorful jewelry you can’t go wrong no matter your plans. This is the kind of boho piece that can work into just about any style wardrobe for the summer, since it is classy and sophisticated with a few fun bohemian details including the trendy shoulder baring neckline. Ruffles are also a hot trend this spring season that make their way into this bohemian dress on the ruffled sleeves, combining several popular elements into this one fabulous and chic dress.
