All About Bohemian Skirts

Long and Loose Bohemian Skirts

Incredibly popular, long and loose bohemian skirts are essential for building a boho chic wardrobe. These typically feature and elastic or wrap style waist, with sheer or cotton fabric. The ideal length for a long bohemian skirt is just above the ankles. Choose bohemian skirts in a colorful Indian or paisley print for a truly authentic look, or opt for neutral colored skirts for the most versatility. Pair your skirt with flats, espadrilles or leather sandals, and opt for a loose t-shirt or fitted tank top. Finish your look with lots of eclectic jewelry, like necklaces, bangles and earrings.

Short Bohemian Skirts

You can also achieve a bohemian look with shorter skirts. For a true boho look, avoid tight fitting skirts, and choose an a-line fit if possible. Natural, worn materials like cotton, leather or suede create the most relaxed look. Keep the length just a couple inches above the knee. With a short skirt on bottom, you'll want to wear a draped t-shirt on top or a long sleeved billowy tunic to balance the look. A funky hat, such as a riding cap or sombrero, can help complete this look. Finish with casual flats or sandals, and wear a wide belt at the waist to show off your curves.

Remember that the bohemian look is created by combining multiple eclectic pieces. Though many skirts can be considered "bohemian" on their own, you can only achieve a complete bohemian look with a variety of eclectic tops, bottoms and accessories. Always aim for natural materials and colorful repeating patterns when shopping for bohemian clothing.
