As a die-hard fan of 1970s style, bohemian fashion is at the core of my wardrobe. I love all of it - floaty palazzo pants, throw-on maxi dresses and dreamy, breezy loose blouses. Give me a good pair of flared jeans (my favourites are Rolla’s Eastcoast Flare) and that’s all I need to get ready each week.
Lucky for me, THE ICONIC has plenty of bohemian fashion in stock. Not only does the mega Australian retail outlet stock some amazing bohemian labels like Kivari, Kinga Csilla and Auguste, with bohemian style in fashion for 2022, many other brands are making gorgeous pieces, too.
Below, find my edit of the best bohemian fashion items to buy right now from THE ICONIC, plus some tips on how to style them.

BEST BOHEMIAN FASHION DRESSES
A good boho dress can take you from day to night, beach to bar, pretty much everywhere. Often loose, floaty and dramatic, they’re the perfect piece to pluck from your wardrobe on those days where you can’t work out what to wear.
I like to team mine with flat tan sandals (or a 70s-style wooden heel for dressier events) and some dramatic fashion earrings. If you want to get your hair off your face, choose either a sleek bun, or hold hair back with a headscarf tied as a headband.
Kinga Csilla Rec Club Dress, $285
Kinga Csilla make beautiful boho dresses like this stunning block frint piece, which is flattering on all bodies and breezy for summer. We recommend sizing down!
Aere Shirred Linen Puff Sleeve Dress, $190
This midi dress blurs the line between prairie fashion and bohemian. We love its simplicity with the neutral oatmeal hue and how flattering the ruched mid-section is.
The Poetic Gypsy Moonshadow Dress, $129.99
This dress is so easy to wear and flattering on curves! The v-neck stops the print from overwhelming your body, while the floaty sleeves will keep you cool in summer and add a distinct 70s feel.
Boom Shankar Sumatra Dress, $179
The cross-over neckline of this dress is great for those with bigger busts - it also features a hook and eye closure if you want a little more coverage.
Charlie Holiday Mara Maxi Dress, $179.95
Bohemian maxi dresses don’t have to be just for summer. This long-sleeve maxi dress is perfect for trans-seasonal dressing and even in winter with some suede boots and a coat.
Faithfull The Brand Pauletta Mini Dress, $179
Mini dresses can also work in the boho trend, like this gorgeous option from Faithfull, with its geometric print that screams 1970s style. Mini dresses look amazing with knee high boots.
Forever New Curve Ashton Dress, $139.99
The shirred bodice on this flattering midi dress is perfect for accommodating a larger bust, and you’ll still be able to wear a bra thanks to the square neck that doesn’t sit too far out on the shoulder.
Forever New Belinda Tiered Maxi Dress, $149.99
Isn’t this dress gorgeous! It’s such a show-stopping gown with its empire waist and floor-skimming skirt. This is definitely a boho dress you could wear day or night.
Kivari Mavi Halterneck Dress, $249
Bohemian style doesn’t have to be exclusively tonal, earthy hues. This beautiful halterneck dress in sky blue feels more beachy-boho, and we love it. Kivari is, after all, a Byron Bay-based label.
The Poetic Gypsy Earth Delights Dress, $149.99
This dress is amazing - honestly, I would wear this as a casual wedding dress for an outdoor wedding! The detail is stunning and the v-neck is low enough to make the overall look feel a bit sexier, without being so plunging that you can’t wear a bra.
BEST BOHEMIAN MAXI SKIRTS
The Poetic Gypsy Divinity Maxi Dress, $99.99
The punchy, ocean colours of this tiered maxi dress make it the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. Team with a rock tee like the model above, or a floaty peasant blouse if that’s more your style.
Charlie Holiday Monica Skirt, $119.95
Every bohemian fashion lover needs a simple white maxi skirt in their wardrobe. It’s the perfect pairing with a sweet blouse or plain tee, and this Charlie Holiday option also has the added benefit of an adjustable waist.
BEST BOHEMIAN BLOUSES
We Are Kindred Carla Embroidered Blouse, $249
We Are Kindred is an Australian fashion label with a love for bohemian style. Their romantic pieces are always filled with stunning detail - like this gorgeous embroidered blouse with its bishop sleeves and tie detail.
Aere Balloon Sleeve Linen Top, $100
Dark, earthy shades are perfect for a bohemian wardrobe. This floaty blouse could be tucked in to high-waisted skirts or jeans, and alternatively left out for a more relaxed look.
The incredible detail in Alemais’ pieces has to be seen to be believed. It’s elements like the pleating on this blouse and the scalloped edging along the button front that set their pieces apart from the rest.
Boom Shankar Tara Tunic Top, $129
We love a little, slightly cropped peasant blouse for a bohemian fashion wardrobe. This piece is great if you sometimes find floaty tops overwhelm your figure - the ruched waist allows the edge to flare, adding shape.
