Long Bohemian Dress Trend To Embrace This Summer
With the season’s carefree 1970s trend calling for floating hemlines and loose fabrics, we are loving Spring 2015’s flowing bohemian frocks from the airstrip. At Erdem, a long white sheer number with lace detail and dainty fleeting sleeves made a statement on the footbridge. Meanwhile, designer Alberta Ferretti featured a sleeveless boho chic creation with pastel hues and a mixed pattern of sweet florals and bold stripes. A waist-cinching belt accessorized with lilac blooms added definition to the dress. At Emilio Pucci, a deep V-neckline tiered maxi dress made a ‘70s splash with its abstract print in brown, pink, pale blue and yellow shades.
If you’re aiming to take this vintage bohemian trend off the footbridge and into your spring wardrobe, here are our top ways to embrace the look.
Casual Chic
To tone down the dramatic look of a printed maxi dress, add a chambray shirt for a stylish and simple casual layer. While the season’s long white lace frock may bring a bohemian inspired wedding to mind, it can also quickly be changed into a weekend essential. Balance out the striking white shade with a wide black belt, an edgy denim vest or a contrasting yellow cardigan.
Work
A patterned maxi dress with a high neckline can easily be worn at the office, for business with a hint of pleasure. Try styling your flowing, vibrant frock with a sharp black blazer, silver statement neckline and black pumps. The long, loose silhouette of the season’s boho chic dresses also makes them a comfortable choice for a hectic, quick-paced workday.
Evening
Naturally, spring evenings offer the perfect opportunity to experiment with have fun-ready vintage looks inspired by the ‘70s. Although your little black dress may be your Friday night must-have, it might be time to switch this classic pick for a bohemian maxi dress. Bring embellishment to a white lace number with layered necklaces, fringed earrings or contrasting beaded garnishing. To transform your colourful printed frock into a dance floor staple, add filigree earrings, a golden clutch and metallic wedges for a hint of glitz and glamour.
