Boho style for men

Boho style clothing, suede layers, linen shirts, and handmade silver jewellery for women and men from independent boutiques.

Boho style is an expressive way of dressing built around fluid silhouettes, tactile natural fabrics, and artisanal craftsmanship that balances freedom with ease. Voluminous wide leg trousers, open cardigans, and gathered skirts create soft movement across earthy shades of green, brown, ivory, and cream. Draped linen and washed silk meet sturdy wool or leather, anchoring loose clothes with grounded textural contrast.

The name goes back to the artists and writers of nineteenth century Paris, called bohemians for living outside middle class rules, and the look came back with the hippies of the late sixties and seventies. INTO THE EAST embroiders paisley onto cardigans and vests. Song for the Mute brings crochet and loose coats in soft brown and green, and RUOHAN cuts slip dresses, tops and coats in olive and ecru.

Washed linen shirts, wide leg trousers, open knits, and soft leather jackets form the foundation of this wardrobe. Layer an unbuttoned shirt over a ribbed tank top, pairing the look with beaten leather boots and oxidized silver jewellery. WDLT117, Due West, and Utopia in Toronto bring this mood together through wide leg pants, textured shirts, and hand worked silver.
