Here's how to style a boho dress for festivals, weddings, and beyond. I wore one dress five different ways and share tips on how to style it for the spring.
As someone who doesn't normally wear dresses, figuring out how to style a boho dress took some serious trial and error. My personal challenge: I often find that flowy dresses swallow me since I'm only 5'2', plus my 90s-inspired minimalist style is very different from the free-spirited romantic aesthetic.
But, I've been hit with the boho revival bug. Celebrities like Dakota Johnson, Daisy Edgar Jones, and Jennifer Lopez have stepped out in flared jeans and lacy ruffled dresses, and I simply cant get enough of the nostalgic trend. Luckily, I turned to Free People and found a dress that fits my vibe and the trend all at once. The length fit my petite frame, the form fitting waist added balance without restricting me, and the earthy color is an easy base to work with, so that I was able to add my own twist to the eccentric style. If you're also dipping your toes into the boho trend this season, below are five different ways that I styled the Free People In My Dreams Midi Dress for spring. I was actually very surprised to find that with the right accessories and playing around with proportions, one simple dress can turn into so many different looks—a win if you never know what to wear. The dress: How to style a boho dress casually for everyday wear A simple way to style your dress is with a denim or suede jacket—bonus points if it has fringe details for added texture. I like to wear a tight T-shirt over my dress and layer it with a jacket on top. The slim tee over the dress creates the illusion of a skirt. And while the classic boots and boho dress combo is a staple, if you're going for a more casual look, go with flats or sandals instead. I'm short, so I like a bit of heel or platform to mine. How to style a boho dress for a formal event If you have a beach or garden wedding coming up, a boho dress can definitely be zhushed up to fit the theme. A pair of fancy platform high heels and jewelry that really stands out are key to the transformation. For spring weddings, throw an oversized blazer on top, especially if you're like me and get cold easily. The ensemble also works well for a formal evening night out with friends or a fancy dinner with your SO. How to style a boho dress for a date night IMO the best part of going out is dressing up. If you like to have fun with the finishing touches of your outfit, you'll love styling a boho dress for a date night. I like to start by mixing in contrasting textures with a silk scarf, braided belt, or fancy leather shoes to balance out the dresses' flowy, relaxed vibe. I particularly like a belt with a drop waist dress because it accentuates my hips. Pair it with flats or kitten heeled boots and a shoulder bag, and you're set for your romantic outing. How to style a boho dress for a concert Coachella and concert season is just around the corner which means I'm already looking for my next festival-inspired outfit. You can't go wrong with a pair of knee-high boots that peak out from your boho dress. I'm partial to cowboy boots for a western touch. As for outerwear, a cropped leather jacket, a studded suede vest, or a long knit cardigan can be layered on top. Add a hat, a fringe bag, and colorful jewelry to lean into the look and pull it all together. How to style a boho dress for the weekend farmers market An oversized button-up shirt is my essential for spring weather when it's chilly in the morning and hot in the afternoon. I throw it on over a dress, or style it with shorts. If you get warm just roll your sleeves up, or if you run hot, just tie it around your waist. Wear your most comfortable sandals or ballet flats, a pair of sunnies, and you'll be ready to fill your tote with farm-fresh produce and local vendor treats.
