April this year is a month of rain, clouds and cold. Even if we hidden autumn-winter stuff we will still need some warm clothes to wrap in.
Lately I have crash on bohemian chic street style and light subtle colours probably to accent my post holiday tan. About my last holiday trip will be separate post on my blog later this week.Today I will like to quickly demonstrate my fresh look in patchwork grey denim jacket. Isabel Marant Demmo Jacket.
Étoile Isabel Marant was established in 1998 and is renowned for its covetable collections of ready-to-wear apparel that can often be seen on some of the most popular A-listers. Drawing inspiration from a rural, Texan design aesthetic, Étoile Isabel Marant denim jackets are decorated with detailed embroidery and stitch work. From deep indigos to clean whites and stonewashed patchwork, the collection is available in an array of styles and lengths. Étoile Isabel Marant denim jackets make for a light to mid-weight wear and are ideal layering options during the transitional stages between seasons.
Tonal grey cotton patchwork denim jacket from Isabel Marant Étoile featuring a classic collar, a front button fastening, a patchwork design, panelled long sleeves, button cuffs, a chest pocket, a straight hem and a distressed finish.
I have visited pond with ducks in Elstree and I was wearing grey bohemian chic country Isabel Marant set .
Lovely accompaniment with grey capri embroidery jeans and Birger et Mikkelsen ivory top . Additionally my Rihanna green-khaki patchwork kimono cotton wrap coat by Parisian Isabel Marant too and peanuts shoulder leather Michael Kors bag and Isabel Marant matching sneakers.
Étoile Bart calf-hair trainers
Isabel Marant's nude leopard-print calf-hair Étoile Bart trainers are a statement way to ground off-duty looks. The low-top design is detailed with a black leather tongue and a cream rubber sole, and finished with the label's logo, debossed in gold across the heel counter. Wear them with everything from staple jeans to midi-length skirts.
In modern usage, the term "Bohemian" is applied to people who live unconventional, usually artistic, lives. The adherents of the "Bloomsbury Group", which formed around the Stephen sisters, Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf in the early 20th century, are among the best-known examples. The original "Bohemians" were travellers or refugees from central Europe (hence, the French bohémien, for "gypsy").
Reflecting on the fashion style of "boho-chic" in the early years of the 21st century, the Sunday Times thought it ironic that "fashionable girls wore ruffly floral skirts in the hope of looking bohemian, nomadic, spirited and non-bourgeois", whereas "gypsy girls themselves ... are sexy and delightful precisely because they do not give a hoot for fashion". By contrast, in the late 19th century and first half of the 20th, aspects of Bohemian fashion reflected the lifestyle itself.
The bohemian fashion we see today is very much inspired by the 60s and 70s. So find inspiration in wide leg pants, kaftans and floral dresses, embroidery, embellishment, lace tops, oversized cardigans and big shawls and tunics with touch of vintage and distressed look.
Bohemian fashion doesn't have to be expensive. Instantly transform a pair of jeans and a white tunic shirt into a boho outfit with a brown leather hobo bag, ethnic embroidered scarf, gold and layered necklace, multiple bangle bracelets, gladiator sandal shoes and so on.
You want to look trés chic, so avoid the total hippie á la street beggar look by blending boho with your own signature style.
Keep it feminine and chic by mixing oversized with tailored/fitted clothes. Like say, if you're wearing a oversized sweater or tunic top, add a pair of straight or slim-fitted jeans to balance out the look.
An important key element in bohemian fashion is the colours. Typical boho colours are rich and warm in colour. So focus on black, brown, cream white, khaki and olive green as your main fashion colour palette.
And build it from there with gold, silver, greys, dark red, deep purple and other vibrant colours. Remember to keep the colour combinations simple with no more than 3-4 colours.
Unfortunately, not everyone suits the boho colours stated here. Some of the colours might come out too strong or weak depending on what skin tone, hair and eye colour.
Bohemian fashion style is influenced by every corners of the world, so adding a little bit of exotic flair is a must. It adds texture and richness to your look which are a must for a boho-chic look.
