Fashionable eclecticism: boho style for plus size people

The boho style has gained popularity among women because it does not impose any restrictions in creating images. His main requirement is freedom of movement and accessories. This set of characteristics is very suitable for overweight women and allows them to create many beautiful ensembles from inexpensive clothing items and details.

Peculiarities

Usually the path to boho is through some self-awareness, unity with nature, careful attitude towards resources and money spent on buying clothes. In this genre, clothing is rustic, natural materials are not particularly expensive, although fans of boho chic may argue with this statement. For example, flax, straw, and cotton in the past were considered “servile” materials for the rough execution of products made from them and their “mundane” origin.
