Bohemian style has managed to evolve and remain relevant for well over a century. The look is rooted in the gypsy culture of old-world Europe, yet the modern boho aesthetic we’ve come to identify with came to prominence with the “hippie era” of the 1960s and ‘70s. Since then, this festival vibe has developed into an extremely accessible style that is easy to create with a handful of elements. Flowy fabrics, loose silhouettes, vibrant yet earthen colors, natural materials, and extreme comfort are key hallmarks of the boho chic.

In the Central Valley, the Mediterranean climate lends itself as the perfect environment for showcasing this quintessential style. Collectively, boutiques throughout the greater Fresno area have gravitated towards boho looks as summer knocks on our doors. To embrace the bohemian ambiance, don’t be afraid to layer—jewelry, separates, colors, textures. All contribute to making your style unique to you while nodding at one of the most universally recognized clothing crazes. With the heat upon us, visit your local boutiques to refresh your wardrobe with this tried-and-true trend!
