Boho Folk - Paisley Prints

Boho Folk - Paisley Prints This decade has been one in which women have openly embraced ethnic folkloric styling in their dress. No sooner is Boho thought to be on the wane, when it resurfaces on the catwalk with even more authority than before. Women loved the vibrancy of gypsy skirts of a few years ago and the oh so easy to achieve styling possibilities of eclectic ethnic folkloric dressing. The Gucci collection ensured we all became reacquainted with the richest of Boho Folk patterns and fringe. Folksy Boho alternatives were provided by DKNY too as 70s hippy dresses with peasant appeal in browns, gold, orange, rusts; all are a highlight of the DKNY collection. This is such an easy look for both the high street and the average female consumer to translate from the catwalk, so expect to see plenty of Boho Folk items this forthcoming winter. Key pieces of the Boho Folk look include the paisley/folk print dress, the coat with embroidery, the richly printed/embroidered scarf, the wild fur or print bag, and fringed boots. This folkloric dress left is from Warehouse and is styled to give you are real feel for autumn looks.
