Layering, asymmetrical cut, natural fabrics, A-silhouette is what is recommended for ladies over 50 as part of the boho style trend.. The picture is completed by the possibility of wearing your favorite jewelry left over from your youth. And you will undoubtedly be considered incredibly stylish and fashionable if you appear in a long-skirted cape of your own making.
Adding up all these points, we get that the ethnic fashion trend is simply created for ladies who have managed to accumulate a lot of vintage and unusual items in their wardrobe over a long life.
What boho clothes can you wear after fifty?
Age is just a number in a passport. What matters is not how many years you lived, but how you lived them. It is the last factor that determines your physical condition. Why is it better? the more ethnic items and colors you can afford.
For example, a woman who looks her age is recommended exclusively loose untucked dresses. However, a slender, tall, youthful lady can easily afford a fitted, colorful, floor-length model, and, moreover, made from flowing fabric that flies apart when moving.
Dresses
An A-line silhouette without a hint of a waist is what you need. This is the base. The item is suitable for both a petite lady and the owner of curvaceous figures. Wraparound models are also acceptable, but you should refrain from high-waisted options. Reason: they are often worn without a bra, and the breasts of a 50-year-old woman from the medical, social and aesthetic side of the issue require constant support with a reliable bra.
Important! The more complex the dress, the simpler the hairstyle should be. Otherwise, the active zone will disappear, the image will break and disintegrate.
Limit your color palette to natural ones natural shades, but avoid swamp and similar shades. Brown-green and similar colors “fall” on the face and make it look sick and haggard. This effect clearly will not help you look better and younger.
There is no need to be afraid of decor. This style direction is characterized by ties, inserts of printed fabric, the effect of crinkled fabric, and waves. In small quantities, these elements are not contraindicated for you (exception: very childish frills). But make a decision regarding the appropriateness of a vintage voluminous sleeve with a cuff at the end or an elastic band after trying it on.
A thin woman in good physical shape can wear something with this detail, but the rest of us will have to put on a dress and check that the puffy sleeve does not look unnecessary and does not reveal more than necessary. At the same time, the usual The flared sleeves deserve your attention. They can be up to the elbow or up to the wrist. Both options are appropriate and will suit your age and status.
Skirts
Playful elements on the skirt do not harm anyone, and do not even try to avoid them by citing age. The only thing is What is unacceptable is transparent materials and flounces. At the same time, small openwork inserts in very limited quantities at the hem of a boho outfit look very appropriate.
Tunics
Trapezoidal very long tunics with wide straps should become a wardrobe staple. You can wear them not only with trousers, but also with a floor-length skirt. At the same time, try avoid the phenomenon when the hem is much wider than the jacket, so it gathers into folds and pulls on the skirt. Because of this, the image will lose its lightness, become voluminous and awkward. Turn into a bell or a cartoon woman riding a samovar. The first option will be achieved if the outfit is monochromatic, the second if there is a bright, catchy ethnic pattern.
The width of the straps and their unusual fit - the shoulder line is shifted, is not where it usually is - are a prerequisite. The cut can be anything, - oval, round, V-shaped or square - but not too deep. A pronounced neckline is intended for younger women.
Important! If you purchased a very low-cut boho tunic, then wear it over a lighter T-shirt. It will show through the cutout, don't be embarrassed by that. This is how it is intended.
If you need to cover your arms - many ladies after 50 years old have this need - complement the outfit with a cardigan or cape. The item can be longer or shorter than the tunic; layering allows for both options.
Trousers
The safest option is straight fit model with a normal waistline. The style and fit will help hide imperfections and remain within the framework of sophisticated, wise restraint.In the summer, buy pants of this kind in a light shade; in the off-season, complement your wardrobe with a pair of dark colors. Black trousers are also acceptable. They look great with snow-white and nude long tunics.
Worth your attention flared jeans. They are also a wardrobe item with boho characteristics. More precisely, they belong to one of its movements. The item looks good on both slender and plump women, but the latter should avoid extremes. Take a model with a slight extension downwards, and leave the strong for long-legged, fragile young girls.
Adding accessories to your look
The priority is wooden, leather, lace and metal jewelry. And it should look exactly like jewelry, and not disguise itself as jewelry. If the jewelry does not pretend to be what it is, then it can be worn by teenage girls, but not by their mothers or grandmothers.
Long hanging strings of large beads, wide round wooden and plastic bracelets, and wickerwork look good. Keep them whimsical and textured, vintage and folky.
Important! Boho is imbued with ethnic notes. Therefore, jewelry stylized in Egyptian, Indian or Native American culture fits perfectly into this style.
Try to purchase or make your own items of the following types:
- voluminous brooch made of fabric, lace, leather;
- brooch like a “bouquet of flowers” made of yarn;
- a ring with a massive semi-natural, non-shiny stone set in metal, on which time has left its mark;
- earrings with many pendants or simply dangling jewelry;
- necklace with fringe and stones;
- necklace made of intertwined ropes and wooden decor;
- a long string of brightly colored beads.
Don't be afraid of voluminous and large pendants. In combination with a long cord or chain, they will elongate the figure. And it’s absolutely not scary if the decoration is created by you personally. Everything that is made by hand acquires a special charm within the framework of ethnic style.
What shoes suit your style?
The main shoes in summer are slates and sandals. Preferably leather or textile. It's good if they are decorated with floral patterns, weaving or straps. The latter are dangerous only if they cover the ankle. In this case, the leg must look perfect, otherwise the decorative element will increase its volume.
Important! If you want to visually make your legs longer, then your shoes should match your trousers.
In the off-season and winter, switch to embroidered boots. A heel is possible, but not a stiletto heel or a massive column. A “glass” will look much more graceful on the leg of a 50-year-old woman.
Should I wear rough boots? In general, boho loves such shoes and extols them for the opportunity to play with contrasts, but not every woman, even young women, can look decent in Martins. Still, such decisions require an ideal figure and slender legs. If your calves are full, then it’s better to stick to boots.
“Warm” ensemble in boho style
Be sure to buy a knitted cardigan or make one yourself. Follow the color palette of the item and the thickness of the fabric. A massive gray canvas can play a cruel joke, especially in a multi-layer situation. Loud colors are also contraindicated. You should choose coffee, black, sand, beige, blue or red.
For bottoms, take trousers (black, navy, grey) or jeans (straight, slightly flared or daring boyfriends).The latter cannot in any way be classified as boho, but the trend itself fits perfectly with certain things of the classical and street trends. Black trousers are a prime example of this.
As a top, take a trench coat of a natural shade, preferably light. It can be replaced by a loose-fitting coat or vest. The last item of clothing can be either long or short, depending on the set. So, for example, taking a fitted, light, colorful dress, complement it with a warm sleeveless vest to the waist. Well, trousers and jeans just beg for an elongated top.
The preferred headdresses are turbans made from scarves and wide-brimmed hats. A knitted voluminous beret is possible, but only on condition that it does not age, suits the shape of the face and looks relevant.
What to wear in summer?
Allow yourself things in light shades. They are refreshing, and this property comes to the fore when it comes to creating a wardrobe for mature ladies. For the same reason no need to avoid white. It can fill and blur the silhouette when paired with a loose fit, but black and colored accessories will help bring back the boundaries.
Important! Fat ladies should remember about their hands. Typically, by the age of 50, the arms at the top stop looking attractive. Therefore, try not to wear sleeveless items on the street. Even if the detail is small, this option is still better than nothing at all.
Natural fabrics are preferable: linen, cotton, nettle. They are light, do not interfere with the skin's breathing and look good in a loose fit.

Where can you buy such things??
Thank you for the article! I enjoyed reading it. I looked at the images in the photographs with even greater pleasure. It really is Boho style, and not what many are now trying to pass off as this style. I really like it. But you need to have an inner taste to wear and combine. I believe that this style is a whole life, and not one or two things in the wardrobe. I always look with admiration at those women who are given this. She herself lacks confidence and taste. Most likely taste, and therefore confidence. It's really difficult to buy these things. To create it yourself, again, talent. I don’t want to wear what they offer on the Internet. And thank you for the pleasant experience!!!
