By Sandra Roussy December 21, 2022 Makeup and Fashion

Do you like the bohemian look? It made its rise in popularity in the 1960s when the world experienced post-war freedom and vibrance. Fashion became eclectic and colorful, and people were defining their style with their clothing and hair more than ever before.

Bohemian dresses became popular among concertgoers, Woodstock for example, and then made it into mainstream fashion trends. The bohemian trend has never really gone away completely, but at various times it does become more trendy and we see a rise of bohemian dresses in stores.

Bohemian dresses are often (but not exclusively) made of natural fabric like cotton or linen and come in colorful prints that range from pretty florals to tie-dyes and ethnic-inspired paisleys. They are very feminine and sometimes have trimmings like lace, ruffles, or embroideries.

They are often styled with large hats and bags, long necklaces and earrings. Boho dresses look good with sandals, flats, as well as booties and boots.
