Bringing it back: Summer Fashion

Let's go Boho!

2005 was the highest point of the Bohemian style. Kate Moss being the instigator with it being the year of the height of her fame.

Last year the most popular summer trend was the kimono, worn as a casual, light cover for the arms and shoulders but still holding that effortless style. This was the point of the great comeback of the Boho Chicks.

This year Kendall Jenner and Vanessa Hudgens are but two examples of the most fashion inspiring women flaunting the look.

 The key aspects that can make it easy for it to find its way into your wardrobes:

• Obviously, bright, eye grabbing colours. This could be done by contrasting colours and tones, or even complementary colours with one piece as the main feature of colour.
• Bold, geometric patterns, Aztec patterns
• Drape, using the natural fall of the fabric to accentuate the bodily curves.
• Natural fibres, light weight natural fabrics. For example cotton, linen.
• Chunky jewellery. Beads, bangles, chains and pendants.

And my personal favourite, the Harem Trousers:

So, Boho is back. Which era of fashion will be next? The 1920s shift dresses? Curvaceous 1940s? 1970s Punk? Disco?

Next week I will do a tutorial either on tie dying, bleach painting using a tie dye method or silk steaming to link into the Boho summer ahead. 

Till next Monday.
