1. Avoid shapeless pieces. Boho clothing tends to be extremely free-flowing. From open kimonos to loose-fitting maxi dresses and tunics, many pieces lack shape and structure. Unfortunately, by choosing shapeless pieces, you can wind up looking a lot bigger than you actually are.
A much better option is to look for pieces that incorporate at least some tailoring. For instance, if you are going to wear a maxi dress, look for one that is fitted at the waist with a long skirt that flows loosely down to your ankles. Because the dress nips in at the waist, it will help create the illusion of an hourglass figure, making you look much taller and slimmer. Likewise, if you are going to wear a loose kimono, try pairing it with a fitted top underneath so that your shape doesn’t totally get lost.
2. Use pattern wisely. The amazing array of beautiful patterns that are available in boho fashion can be a wonderful way to add visual interest to your wardrobe. Don’t shy away from pieces that incorporate bold, eye-catching patterns. Instead, use them as a focal point for your outfit. You should, however, avoid going overboard with pattern. If you are going to be wearing one piece that has a strong pattern, you should keep the rest of your outfit relatively simple. Otherwise, if you try to mix too many patterns together, your outfit will wind up looking confusing and overdone.
If you haven’t already gone for a professional bra fitting, you should schedule one right away. A good fitting, supportive bra can make a world of difference in how well your clothes fit. Likewise, if any of the pieces that you are going to be wearing are relatively form-fitting, you may want to look into shape wear that you can use to create a smooth, sleek silhouette. Investing in a high-quality bra and well-made shape wear is money well spent.
These days, it is easier than ever to build a wardrobe based around plus size boho fashion. Because the boho trend is so popular right now, there is a great selection of clothing currently on the market. By choosing pieces that fit and flatter your body, you can create a wardrobe that helps you look and feel your best.
