How to Style the New Romantic Bohemian
Fall is getting a little softer, moodier, and more expressive. The new romantic bohemian look brings together lace, ruffles, flowing silhouettes, and rich texture. I love it most when one romantic piece leads the outfit and the rest feels like something you already wear. Here are three ways I’m styling it this season.
Look 1: The Romantic Blouse + Everyday Denim
Start with a lace trimmed blouse that has sweet details like pintucks and ruffles - this gives you the romance in one piece. Then finish with a cool pair of dark tapered jeans, a worn-in leather belt, and ankle boots. I’d leave the collar open and roll the sleeves for an easy coffee-to-dinner look.
Tara’s Style Edit: Give a detailed blouse room to shine. Clean denim keeps the outfit relaxed and makes the lace feel wearable on a Tuesday.
Look 2: The Lace Skirt + Fine Gauge Sweater
For lunch, a gallery afternoon, or a creative workday, pair a lace trimmed silk skirt with a simple fine-gauge sweater. Layer on an oversized suede jacket, then finish with tall boots and a structured bag. The silk and suede give this look its fall richness.
Tara’s Style Edit: Play with texture before adding more detail. A plain knit between the lace and suede gives the eye a place to rest.
Look 3: The Floral After Hours Dress
A sweeping floral dress makes an entrance without needing much help. Choose a darker print for fall and wear it with heeled boots, a tailored coat, and one piece of vintage-inspired jewelry. Skip the stack of accessories; the movement of the dress is the moment.
Tara’s Style Edit: If your dress has volume and print, keep your outer layer sharp. A tailored coat gives a floaty silhouette shape and makes it feel ready for the city.
