9 Bohemian-Inspired Looks Perfect for Spring

As spring rolls around, it’s time to switch your coats and gloves for dresses and t-shirts and introduce brighter colors and pretty patterns back into your wardrobe. The bohemian aesthetic of layering individual pieces and mixing prints is perfect for a spring look. Get inspired by these nine boho springtime trends.

1. The Boho Bandeau

No boho girl should be without a chic boho bandeau. These versatile loops of pretty fabric can be worn in many ways, from headbands and hair wraps to scrunchies and wristbands. They can even be worn as a bandeau top as the weather gets warmer. Adding a bandeau to your look can give a much-needed injection of color to a simple outfit of a t-shirt and jeans. They are the ideal spring accessory, as during the warm days they are great for getting your hair out of your face, but, as the sun sets and the temperature drops, they can be used as scarves or hats to keep you warm.

2. Floral Shorts

While floral tops and dresses are a wardrobe staple for many boho clothing lovers, flowery shorts are a more unusual but equally cute way to add prints to your aesthetic. Patterned shorts can be paired with statement tees for a clean look or woolen sweatshirts to create a quirky mix of seasonal clothes that’s ideal for capricious spring weather. If you’re after a pair of shorts that can be dressed up or down, go for a pair with an unusual detail, such as beaded drawstrings, embroidered patches, or shorts with a ruffled leg.

3. Patterned Cover-Ups

Both spring style and boho clothing are all about layers. Layers are useful for days when you’re unsure what the weather will do, but they also add interest to a look. Cover-ups such as kimonos and boleros are a quick and easy way to create layers.

Throw a patterned cover-up over pants and a t-shirt to go from simple to chic, or introduce texture to your aesthetic by opting for a floral velvet kimono or an embroidered cover-up. Patterned cover-ups are also excellent for developing a mixed print look. If you’re worried about clashing rather than contrasting, select prints with similar colors.

4. Milagro Pocket Necklace

Jewelry is extremely individual: It allows you to express yourself and your style. You can’t get more personal than these Milagro pocket necklaces. Inspired by Mexican tradition, these embroidered pockets come with a collection of charms that represent your prayer for the day. Every day, you place a charm into the pocket to keep it close to your heart. Not only is the Milagro pocket necklace a wonderful way to keep your hopes and dreams at the front of your mind as you go about your day, but it’s also a striking accessory that stands out from other jewelry. The bright colors and floral motifs make a wonderful addition to a spring wardrobe.

5. Prairie and Smock Dresses

These ultra-feminine, vintage-style dresses are right on trend this spring. These dresses fit perfectly into any boho lover’s wardrobe, with their voluminous silhouette, flowing patterns, and ruffled details. This look embraces femininity but is super comfortable to wear. Both prairie dresses and smocks are ideal for spring weather and can be modernized with denim jackets, sneakers, and stacked jewelry. Find yourself one dress that you love and make it your statement piece for spring.

6. Pretty Face Masks

Face masks have gone beyond a necessary safety precaution to become a way to play with fashion. Rather than being something you just have to wear, opt for a mask with embroidered flowers or bold trims that blends seamlessly into your bohemian aesthetic. You can add extra detail with a convenient beaded face mask lanyard. These useful accessories allow you to avoid touching your mask more than necessary while also providing a splash of color to your look.

7. Touches of Tie-Dye

Tie-dye has been around for decades, and each time it comes back into style it gets slightly reinvented. If you feel apprehensive about introducing tie-dye pieces into your wardrobe, start small with a tie-dye boho bandeau. This versatile piece is a perfect way to experiment with this hippy classic look.

For die-hard boho girls, flowing tie-dye dresses harmonize easily with your wardrobe. However, if you’d rather add a contemporary twist, opt for modern pieces in tie-dye patterns such as oversized tie-dye sweaters or tie-dye sneakers. Tie-dye fabrics in pastel colors are a feminine choice for spring.

8. Loose Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits and rompers have firmly established themselves as fashion must-haves, and there’s a version for every aesthetic, from casual military greens to elegant evening wear. The bohemian jumpsuit is all about volume: Wide legs, loose sleeves, and soft necklines are common features of these pieces that come in soft neutrals or ditsy (very small print) florals.

Jumpsuits are an excellent option for spring weather and can be easily worn over long-sleeved tees or under stylish cover-ups. Create some contrast to the flowing fabric by pairing with heavy boots, go fresh and contemporary with white sneakers, or opt for a full bohemian vibe with leather sandals.

9. Bold Hats

Top off your boho look with a gorgeous hat to stand out from the crowd. Wearing a headpiece shows you’re not afraid to take risks with your fashion choices, whether you go for a classic fedora, a summery straw hat, or a nostalgic bucket hat.

Keep your look soft with natural neutrals such as browns and beiges, or amp up your mixed prints with a patterned hat. You can add personality to your hat by using a boho bandeau as a band. This is also a simple way to change your look and coordinate your hat to your favorite outfits.

The Take-Home Message

Much of bohemian dressing is about getting inspired by the past and combining pieces you love to create an aesthetic that is uniquely you. Spring is the perfect time to experiment with this look, as the loose layers are ideal for the weather and the natural prints echo the season’s blooming florals.
