STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Bohemian Layers

January 12th, 2016 at 2:00am

As a classically-disheveled look that never goes out of style, the layered, bohemian-vibe really pulls this Fashionista’s outfit together. It’s not just the different items of clothing that are superimposed on top of each other that make this artisan-inspired, layered look really stand out. The mixture of textures, hues and fabrics give this look the artisanal, bohemian feel that many attempt yet fall flat on fully achieving.

Earthy tones are on full display here as well. The deep reds, browns and greens really help to create an overall sense of cohesiveness among the numerous pieces. The color palette fits nicely with the bohemian feel of the outfit. When layering, it is always important to think about the style you are trying to achieve. One of the great qualities of layering is its versatility; it’s something that can be done whether you want to look polished and preppy or gothically-grunge. It’s all about paying attention to the details: color, fabric and texture.

This Fashionista achieved this effortlessly-artisanal look by layering a fuzzy, multi-colored cardigan on top of a whimsical, pom-pom button-down. She completes the layered look with a cream-colored, loose tank top as her base shirt. She chose to pair these layers with olive green skinny jeans and L.L.Bean boots with patterned, Aztec-inspired socks folded over the top. Her accessories really serve to accentuate the mood of the outfit. Her vintage, burgundy beret adds another fun element of texture without feeling too cliché. Her light brown, minimalistic purse doesn’t overpower and lets the viewer focus on the outfit. She finished the look off with two dainty Lucky Brand bracelets.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Never be afraid to mix different styles together. I find that it often makes a layered look feel less tired. When you have a range of styles on that work together, you create a much more interesting outfit!”
