This style demands maximalism and being extra, bohemian look doesn’t require you to look prim and proper. Layering is more welcome in this style than keeping it less. The more flowy, rustic, shabby and comfortable 1 garments, 1 better. Clean and basic silhouettes with straight line cuts and elegance don’t fit 1 bohemian bill.
