In to the Wild Boho Winter Style from Monsoon, Next, Reiss, Very and New Look

Embrace escapism this season with folklore fashion. Inspired by peasant costume through the ages this fairytale trend has evolved to become a favourite year-round. Reimagined for each season, it is always steeped with embellishment details such as classic embroideries and crochet, mixed in with floral prints. Try layering different textures and fabrics, combining sheer, opaque and embellished materials to create the ‘thrown together’ aesthetic of this style. Choose colours and tones that compliment one another to stop the look becoming jumbled.  For inspiration, check out Bora Aksu, Coach and Temperley.

When selecting outerwear, embrace how far the high street has come in terms of faux fur production. Imitation fur is big for A/W’17 from traditional caramel hues to fun and frivolous bright tones and animal prints, a faux fur coat is not only a cosy and stylish choice this winter, it slips into the folklore trend perfectly as it reflects its Russian roots.

Boho style embroidery ruled the roost in the summer and folklore is essentially the winter version of this trend. Still taking inspiration from boho styling, folklore relies on patterned and textured embroideries to add detail to blouses and kimono coats. Navy and yellow are a great winter combination as it adds just a little ray of sunshine to gloomier days. Look for aztec inspired markings to really bring the heritage vibe to life.
