11 Flirty Florals to Bring Out Your Inner Bohemian

Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller are fans

With Spring right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to drum up some playful energy and let your inner bohemian bloom. Championed by style icons Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and Nicole Richie, the nomadic style sensibility came floating down the fall runways from the likes of Rochas, Brock Collection, Emilia Wickstead.

Often associated with artistic and creative vocations, its foundations are in the Romantic movement of the 19th Century. The trend as we know it today continues to take on romantic undertones; think blouson sleeves, paisley prints and a mix of textured fabrics.

For cult favourites Zimmermann and Spell & The Gyspy Collective; boho is part of their brand DNA. Romance and a chameleon-esque aesthetic is imbued into each piece and spells a sense of whimsy and fantasy whilst remaining inherently feminine.

New to a vagabond sense of dressing? A handy guide includes relaxed and floaty silhouettes, floral-emblazoned motifs and maxi dresses and skirts. If an all over gypsy look is too much of a statement for you, focus on a statement floral piece and match back with tonal neutral accessories – polished glamour in an instant!  

We’ve compiled 11 of the best boho blooms on offer right now – yours to shop below – and make your own case for peasant chic.
