Boho Earrings: What are they and how can I rock them?

I’m going to be quite frank: boho style is not for everyone. It takes those who are fearless, independent, confident, and somewhat rebellious to truly pull off this unconventional look. Boho style has been a major trend in recent years. It continues to be a look many women crave for music festivals, a night out, or for an everyday boho-chic look. Perhaps even more popular is the use of boho earrings incorporated into everyday ensembles.

Where Did Boho Earrings Come From?

Let’s be clear, the boho earrings craze did not just appear out of the blue; the bohemian style has been around for hundreds of years. To better understand and wear Bohemian style jewelry, let’s look a little further into where it came from. The term “bohemian” was first used in the 19^th century to describe poor French artists. These artists were often compared to the roaming “gypsies” or the “romany”. After the French Revolution, artists were forced to live a minimalist lifestyle and were often rejected by society all the while being considered unfashionable.

In short, bohemians steered away from the dominant culture and pursued lives of simplicity. This was shown through their loose, colorful (mostly used) clothing, long hair, creativity, layered and often mismatched jewelry, and ability to stand out from the crowd. The bohemians were the outcasts of their time, usually indifferent to social structures and traditions. There have been several bohemian fashion phases throughout history from the Hippie Movement in the late 1960’s to the modern bohemian style commonly known today as “boho-chic”. Vanessa Hudgens, Zendaya, and Alexa Chung are just a few celebrities who have proven to rock this boho-chic look, but how can you? With a few helpful steps and some modifications to your wardrobe, you can achieve the trendy bohemian look you ever-so desire. Take these suggestions and feel free to add onto them to cater to your personal style!

There are many ways you can show off your individual boho style all year ‘round. From patterned jumpsuits, fringe jackets, to leather vests and embroidered blouses, you will be sure to find something to suit your needs. To do the boho-chic look justice, you will need the right jewelry pieces no matter the season. Boho earrings are a must-have staple to top off a true boho look. The necessary jewelry dictate the overall appeal of your look and will essentially be the icing on the cake.
