Basic Boho: 3 Must-Have Accessories for Your Winter Look

8843800865?profile=original

The boho style has a whimsical feel that many women love. Bohemian dresses are a common look that corresponds with this style. They can be long or short, and the skirt of the dress flows beautifully. The dress style has a loose bodice with billowy sleeves. Bohemian shirts and blouses share similar characteristics and are equally popular throughout the year. If you have invested in a bohemian dress or in other bohemian looks, you may be wondering how you can accessorize this look to give your ensemble a finished look during the winter months. These are some of the excellent accessories and bohemian jewelry that you can pair with your bohemian dress or with other boho looks.

 

Necklaces

There is a wide range of necklaces styles that you may choose from, but only some have the right look to pair with a boho ensemble. Because the boho look is free and even whimsical, necklaces with a longer chain length are much more well-suited than chokers. Many women will layer multiple necklaces together. Others will choose necklaces that have charms appropriate for this look, such as flowers, moons, suns and other similar objects. While silver is a common metal option to consider, beaded necklaces in a wide range of hues are also appropriate for many boho looks. Even if you cover your shoulders with a sweater or shawl during the winter months, your neck will still be visible. Therefore, you cannot forego a necklace with a boho winter look.

 

Bracelets

Many boho dresses and blouses have long, flowing sleeves, and this draws attention to the wrists. Therefore, it is appropriate to dress up your look with bracelets as well. A single bracelet is not usually selected with a boho ensemble. Instead, women may layer bangle or beaded bracelets, and these may have as many as five or more layers. In the event a single bracelet is worn, this may be a bracelet that is made out of leather or a metallic bracelet with multiple charms. This may seem less important during the winter months, but remember that you may take off your shawl or sweater when you are indoors during the winter, and your writes may be easily visible at this point. Otherwise, you can pull the sleeves of your sweater up just slightly to show off your bangles or bracelet.

 

Handbags

Another accessory that is commonly paired with boho dresses, shirts, and other apparel is a handbag. Women typically need to tote a bag or purse to carry a wallet, keys, makeup and other items. You simply cannot pair a standard purse with this type of look without creating an awkward or confusing finished result. There are many boho handbags, satchels and other styles that may look wonderful with your ensemble. These may be made out of cloth, canvas or leather, and some bags have multiple materials mixed together. Some may have a floral print on them, but some leather styles have been beautifully emblazoned with decorative touches. During the winter months, darker colors are better-suited than lighter hues or prints.

 

Remember that your look also would not be complete without the right footwear. Sandals are commonly worn in the summer months, but you can continue to enjoy your boho attire throughout the winter when you pair them with boots. Boots can keep your feet and lower legs warm during cold weather conditions, and you can even pair the dress or shirt with a long sweater or shawl to add further warmth to the look. Because the boho look is about layering and flow, you may want to include each of these ideas into your ensemble in different ways to pull off your boho look flawlessly.
