#HowTu: 5 Ways To Nail The New Boho

Sponsored by Tu

Great news, fash fans – boho is back (and better still, there's not a flower crown in sight).

Forget the Coachella clichés, this season's take on the trend sees feathers and fringing pushed to the back of the wardrobe in favour of timeless Thea Porter inspired prints and runway-ready shapes. It's everything you love about free spirited summer style, minus the fussy bits.

Boho goals: Etro SS16, Florence Welch and a '70s Thea Porter design

Ready for a refresh? We've teamed up with Tu to bring you 5 failsafe ways to nail the new boho. Grab your inspo below, then shop the look and watch your Instagram likes shoot up. Peace hand emoji recommended.

Make it minimal

Step away from the wooden bangles (and yep, the headscarf's got to go too). Right now, it's all about embracing a more pared back look. Take notes from the runway and let your silhouette speak for itself with bold shapes and minimal extras. Can't bear to part with your accessories? Make like boho master Florence Welch and try a simple wide brim hat or an edgy ear cuff.

Play with prints

Losing the layers (thankfully) doesn't have to mean losing your sense of fun – modern bohemia is as playful as it is stylish. Your unlikely inspo: the art of patchwork, as seen reinvented at Etro and Gucci. A far cry from your granny's quilt, clashing prints and colours feel super fresh. Get the look with contrast separates or a detailed all-in-one.

Do details

When it comes to keeping your OOTD fresh, that age old phrase rings true – the devil really is in the detail. Tick the trend boxes with ultra modern sports luxe trims and graphic cut-outs against otherwise classic hippy chic styles. Our pick? Anything off the shoulder is a guaranteed fashion win, and ridiculously flattering when worn just below the collarbone.

Give texture a try

Can you feel it? This season's focus on touchable textures, that is. (Obviously.) Elevate your ensemble with mix-and-match crochet and broderie angalise, or add depth with romantic ruffles. The same goes for shoes, too – the cork sole has made a comeback and feels surprisingly now on flats and wedges alike.

Wake up your make-up

So you've nailed the outfit, what about your make-up bag? Ditch the glitter and go as bare as you dare skin-wise, adding a soft slick of liner to take the look from day-to-night. Softness is key in the hair stakes too – a spritz of sea salt spray to bring out natural texture is all you need.
