There’s nothing I like more than a little boho chic, and it goes back to my hippy youth I guess. In those days I had strange fashion sense, I can remember dyeing a sheet, cutting a hole in the top and stringing a piece of rope around my waist before trotting off to a disco. I must have looked like someone out of the Bible 😉
Actually, I’d love to know in the comments what your most bizarre youthful fashion statement might once have been too!
These days with the amazing choice we have online and offline, there’s no need to be quite so creative with the scissors because with a flick of the mouse we can choose and put together looks which might inspire us to go looking for similar items in shopping malls (or sometimes if you’re like me, in Salvos) or maybe (if we’re lucky) get the credit card out of its cradle and shop online.

Boho clothes for travelling
I’m about to head off to the UK to visit my family and was looking around for ideas to bring to you from my own wardrobe for long haul plane travel, but when I discovered the boho look items online below I thought that they would suit not only a plane trip (because they would be comfy) but they would also be easy to wear holiday style too.
I’m not one for baring my arms if I can help it, so the lightweight jacket would be just right for wearing in the airport terminals and for the English weather, but if it was really hot by chance, well begone with jiggly-upper-arm pride and just slap on the sunlotion!
Tip: For plane rides I always pack my soft Turkish pashmina which I can wrap around my shoulders if the air conditioning is a bit bitey and it’s always useful as an extra layer or dash of style if needed on arrival.
The sandals would allow room for swelling feet and ankles on the plane and be comfortable for walking in too. And that tote, well just the right size for my bloggie paraphernalia, iPad, phone, hairbrush and lippy (on arrival).

How to wear Floral Trousers
Love the boho look, especially those haram pants!
They look so comfortable, and I am pretty sure I could get away with wearing them to work in the spring. 🙂
Would love to see what you team them with Andrea!
Cute combination. Love boho!
The bag is looking cool which will go with every outfit! The jacket is stylish! Happy Journey 🙂
Lovely
Thanks Muza-chan!
I have so many jackets but oh my… I NEED that jacket. Love your traveling style.
Reading this I think I need a stylist – probably you! Have fun in England and enjoy going back to your hippy days. I’m a hippy from way back too 🙂
Hi Annabel (and fellow hippy) 😉 Thank you. Here’s to a few reciprical tips 🙂
I am glad you included your link to your past post about the boho look Jo. Silly me, I am so out of touch with fashion. I think I have always been a boho kind of girl. I just love floral pants and comfortable easy wearing clothes.
My funny story is a night we had for our club a couple of years ago, we had to dress up with something starting with “F” so I went as a “flower child” . I just dragged things out from my cupboard and put it all together – and I won!
Happy travels in England Jo. Enjoy the time with your Mum and don’t eat too many scones and cream.
Love your story Jill! I can see you as a flower child 🙂 Thanks for your kind words – yep, I’ll have to hold back on all the lovely cream teas in Devon!
Love the jacket and sandals!
So glad you loved them Penny 🙂 I think the jacket would be such a versatile little number 🙂 Thanks for adding your thoughts here today.
I love the Boho look. However I would not wear the wide leg harem pants as they would make me look even shorter and dumpier than I look already! However I love the jacket and the straw bag. I do wear elasticised loose fitting pants on long haul plane flights as they are so comfy. I also packed quite a few Boho style Summer dresses/kaftans for my rent cruise to the Caribbean. They were extremely cool and comfortable.
I love boho style dresses too Kathy. Hmm can feel the need for a northern hwmisphere summer dress post.
