Boho Chic Style Clothing

Boho chic style dressing is a more tailored, modern, and elevated form of the bohemian style of fashion. Luxury brands such as as Ulla Johnson, Johanna Ortiz, and Chloe are high-end examples of modern, travel inspired collections. While I love each of those brands, I will also be sharing some lesser known, and more budget friendly boho chic style clothing options.

Boho chic style is full of pattern such as traditional block print, ikat, and geometric designs. It is also very feminine, effortless, and casually chic. A closet full of boho inspired pieces makes for an easy way to look effortless without too much time put into dressing.

As summer approaches I crave more boho style dresses. I’ve always had a little boho in me, but nothing over the top. Lately though I’m really loving block prints and batik inspired prints. What’s great about boho style prints is they blend seamlessly into travel wardrobes. Laid back and effortless, yet very put together. Let’s dive into my favorite brands for creating an elegant, effortless, and confident wardrobe.

Boho Chic Style Clothing Brands

Ulla Johnson

I must start with Ulla Johnson because her designs are so inspiring and are often mimicked. She is best known for her statement ruffles, and puff sleeves. Her designs tell a story of travel, modern nostalgia, and carefree living. Did you know that she is the daughter of archeaologists? How cool is that? Most likely because of that, her brand is very NYC meets exotic destination. Ulla is committed to working with rural areas where people can earn sustainable work and further economic development.

If you are looking to start adding Ulla Johnson pieces to your wardrobe, a statement dress is a great option as her designs are so breathtaking. Plus it’s nice to have a go-to dress for last minute occasions. I love having a few go-to pieces for last minute dinner invites, or parties. A simpler day dress will likely get you the most use since you can wear this with sandals for day and heels for night. Either way, her color palettes are always seasonally appropriate. A lot of earthy tomes and natural colors.

While Ulla Johnson is on the higher price end, her pieces are timeless and can be worn season after season. I wear a size 00 (I’m 5′ 2″ and 105 lbs), as her styles run roomy and flowy.

Cleobella

Cleobella is another boho chic style brand that is globally inspired. The soft breathable GOTS certified cotton dresses are one of my favorite summer outfit choices. The cotton fabric is so light and comfortable in the hot summer heat. Plus a light cotton dress is perfect for vacation packing. It doesn’t take up much space (especially if you use the roll method), and they are day to night appropriate. Cleobella is committed to crating sustainable incomes for global partners.

The price point of Cleobella is much more attainable than Ulla Johnson, with the average price of a dress very similar to the French brand Sezane at around $200. I wear a size XS in this brand and the fit is comfortable and roomy.

Ba&sh Dresses

The French brand Ba&sh definitely gives off some joyful summer Parisian elegance. The flowy fabrics and colorful prints are beautiful statements makers. Ba&sh is a brand I always look to for easy and effortless dresses. This boho chic style midi dress captures my summer vibe! This is something I would wear on a vacation to Ibiza. I love the bright red trim complimented by the red, purple, green, and yellow floral design. The loose v-neck and butterfly sleeves make this an elevated casual choice for easy summer style.

Ba&sh sizing runs a little bit large in my opinion, however the brand is known for loose and flowing designs. I wear a size XS which fits more like a size 2. You can read my other Ba&sh post to learn more about this cult worthy brand.

Beyond By Vera

A recent discovery from last year is Beyond by Vera and I can tell you, this brand is BEYOND! Vera is an Austrian designer who lives in India where her collection is made. Each print is hand drawn by Vera and her team before being hand screen-printed. The block print fabrics and bold colors are boho chic style at it’s finest.

This dress I am wearing is from the Garden of Eden collection. It’s beautiful and soft cotton fabric. The slight balloon sleeves and pockets really make this dress a favorite of mine! I’ve styled it for fall with my knee-high suede boots but this would look just as great with sandals in the summer.

The entire collection is full of bold, happy patterns, stunning skirt and top sets, and must have dresses. The price point is about $100 less than what you would pay for a similar Ulla Johnson piece. I’m wearing a size XS which comfortably fits a size 0 to 2.

 Under $200 Boho Chic Style Clothing

Here are some more affordable options to add boho chic to your wardrobe. The easiest way to add in some bohemian vibes is to pair a pretty embroidered top with some jean shorts. Just look for earthy tones, florals, ruffles, and easy fitting styles.
