In the boho chic universe, it’s not all about fringes, embroidery, and feathers (although we definitely love them). There’s something more subtle—yet deeply powerful—that shapes every look: color. Yes, that choice we sometimes make without much thought, but that can completely shift the energy of our day... and everyone around us.
At Indiemaison, we believe that dressing consciously is a way to express yourself, take care of yourself, and connect with your most authentic essence. That’s why today we’re diving into the meaning behind the most popular bohemian colors and how they can enhance your energy when you wear them.
Spoiler: you don’t need to be a chakra expert to benefit from this. Just open your wardrobe, your mind, and your intuition.
1. Brown: grounding and connection
Brown is a true boho classic. It shows up in boots, vests, anklets, bags, and almost any accessory with a handmade soul.
What does it bring? Stability, safety, and grounding. Perfect for days when you need to slow down, feel centered, and walk with purpose (even in sandals).
How to wear it: Use it as a neutral base or pair it with brighter colors. You’ll find it a lot in our Indiemaison anklets with fringe, coins, and tribal details.
2. Beige and Sand Tones: calm and simplicity
Beige is brown’s zen cousin. Softer, lighter, but equally connected to the natural world.
What does it offer? Inner peace, tranquility, and mental clarity. Ideal for days when you need a visual (and mental) detox.
In your outfits: Great for creating minimalist boho monochromatic looks. Add textures (velvet, suede, lace) to keep it interesting. A soulful basic.
3. Olive and Emerald Green: growth and balance
In boho style, green isn’t just about nature—it’s also about personal growth and renewal. Because yes, switching up your outfit can also mean stepping into a new chapter.
What does it express? Harmony, freshness, and hope. Emerald green adds a touch of spiritual elegance.
Indiemaison tip: Try our anklets with emerald silk scarves or botanical details. Wearing the forest on your feet has never been so stylish.
4. Indigo and Petrol Blue: emotional depth
Dark blue is one of the most magical boho colors. Mysterious, introspective, and a bit melancholic (in the best possible way).
What does it bring? Mental clarity, intuition, and inner calm. Like a moonlit walk through the woods.
In boho fashion: Perfect for flowy garments, embroidered accessories, or feathered details. Pair with gold for a celestial vibe.
5. Mustard and Ochre Tones: bohemian vitality
This color is pure visual vitamin. Not everyone dares to wear it, but once you do... there’s no going back.
What kind of energy? Joy, spontaneity, and creativity. It’s the sun of the boho wardrobe.
Style it with: Browns, terracotta, and greens for a warm and harmonious combo. At Indiemaison, we use mustard tones in trims and beads to add cheerful sparkles to any accessory.
6. Terracotta and Brick Red: passion and warmth
These reddish tones are like fiery earth. They stand for strength, transformation, and a sensual kind of boho (the kind that whispers rather than shouts).
What do they represent? They’re linked to the root chakra, connecting us with our bodies, vital energy, and roots.
In your looks: Great for standing out without going over the top. A terracotta dress + sandals + beaded anklet = winning outfit.
7. Burgundy and Wine: intensity with style
These deep colors are perfect for more sophisticated boho looks that still keep that relaxed soul. Think boho with a mystical twist.
What do they say? Maturity, introspection, and quiet passion. Got a meeting, a date, or just want to feel powerful? Go for it.
Indiemaison tip: Wear them in bold accessories like statement necklaces or anklets with glass beads and feathers. Major wow factor.
8. Off-white and Cream: purity and new beginnings
Boho white is never sterile—it’s warm, textured, and full of spirit.
What does it convey? Light, clarity, honesty, and freedom. It’s like hitting the reset button with good vibes.
Style notes: Perfect for long dresses, loose shirts, or handcrafted accessories. Pairs beautifully with gold accents, natural stones, and fabrics like cotton or linen.
9. Turquoise: protection and self-expression
Turquoise has deep roots in ancient cultures as a symbol of spiritual protection and honest communication.
What kind of vibe? Freedom, expression, and creativity. It’s the color that says, “This is me, take it or leave it.”
At Indiemaison: You’ll see it often in our beads, chokers, earrings, and anklet details. A true boho gem!
In a nutshell…
Colors don’t just decorate they communicate. In boho style, every shade you choose speaks to how you feel, what you need, and what kind of energy you want to radiate.
And the best part? You can mix and match freely.
- Brown + turquoise = strength and self-expression.
- Mustard + green = vitality and balance.
- Off-white + indigo = clarity and intuition.
The combinations are endless!
At Indiemaison, every piece is designed to support your journey of self-discovery, freedom, and soulful style. Because getting dressed isn’t just about looks—it’s about energy, soul, and personal expression.
So next time you choose an accessory or plan your outfit, ask yourself:
What energy do I want to wear today? 🌿🌞🌕
Your wardrobe (and your spirit) already knows the answer.
