Boho Bikini

What Is a Boho Bikini?

A boho bikini is a bikini in the bohemian style: earthy and retro details like floral prints, crochet, tassels and high-waist bottoms. The look draws on free-spirited, handmade-feeling fashion rather than sleek or sporty lines.

Boho is a style axis built from visible details — the print, the texture and the silhouette. In this collection that means floral and dot prints, crochet knits, tassel trims and mid- to high-waist retro bottoms.

Boho is the details; the cut underneath still sets the fit.

The Boho Detail Kit

Three detail families mark a boho piece, alone or together:

• Prints — floral, dot and earthy motifs with a retro, sun-washed feel.
• Texture — crochet knit, tassels and beaded or lace-up trims.
• Silhouette — high-waist and mid-waist retro bottoms, halter and triangle tops.

Boho sits at the opposite end of the style scale from minimal — where minimal strips details away, boho layers them on. Two floral sets can still read differently by their texture and cut, so match the details to the occasion.

Prints, texture and retro silhouettes are the three boho dials.

The Styles in This Collection

Boho details show up across these silhouettes:

• Floral halter, triangle and push-up sets
• Tassel sets with cover-ups
• Crochet knit tops and hollow-out styles
• Dot-print three-piece sets
• Mid-waist and high-waist retro bottoms
• Side-tie and split-back details

Prices run from about $27 to $43, and sizes from XS to XL with a few one-size pieces.

Pick the detail first, then the silhouette.

Wearing and Care

Boho details change how a piece wears and how to care for it. Crochet follows the yarn — check the material notes for how it behaves in water, since cotton and stretch yarns differ. Tassels and beads need gentle handling and can loosen with rough wear.

Floral prints are fabric prints like any other: rinse after salt water or chlorine and hand-wash in cold water to keep the colors. Match the care to the detail — smooth print, crochet and tassel pieces each have their own limits.

Print, crochet and tassels each get their own care.

How to Choose

Work through four decisions:

• Detail: floral print, crochet, tassels or dots
• Silhouette: high-waist retro or triangle top
• Set pieces: two-piece or sets with cover-ups
• Occasion: beach days, festivals or resort wear

Sizes run XS to XL with some one-size pieces — check each listing’s chart.
