Bohemian fashion is generally applied to people who prefer an artistically unconventional style. Anti-fit, effortless, oversized, flowy, whimsical, adventurous, there are multiple variations of this form. Someone finds it comfortable while others label it as a trend influenced by hippies. Nonetheless, this fashion genre has found its paramours in Bollywood fashion divas like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and is rapidly gaining its momentum in the fashion industry.

 

So, how to nail a luxe boho chic look?

While bohemian fashion might appear very relaxed and gypsy like but it’s tricky to pull off. There goes a bit of layering, a tinge of sass and a lot of freshness behind that languid appearance. We researched and came out with a few classy options and pieces worn by Bollywood celebs who nailed the look like a pro.

Layered clothing

Now, there can be multiple variations in layered clothing. You can opt for a flowy skirt/ shorts teamed with a front-tie shirt and slouchy distressed booties like fringed suede, gladiator sandals, knee-high gladiators. Asymmetrical dresses, hipster pants, the options are numerous. Scroll down to see some of our favourite celeb looks.
