The main Boho style rule is sticking to anything natural. Thus, clothes and accessories have earthy tones and are made of natural materials, such as rattan, denim, leather, silk, cotton, lace, and turquoise.

Other common things about this style are flower patterns, folk or ethnic elements, unconventional textures and prints, and flowy fabrics. Layering is also typical of the Boho style. Still, you can incorporate bold and attention-grabbing designs and accessories.

You may also do the opposite: a casual top like a t-shirt and sweater and then business bottoms like slacks and tunic or pencil-cut skirts.
