If you want to add a bit of shape to your peasant dress, look for a style with a nipped in waist to balance the volume of the sleeves and skirt. You can also add structure with a denim or leather jacket that cuts in at the midsection.

Tight clothing in sweltering weather is a no-go. Boho summer dresses allow air to circulate, keeping you cool and dry even on blistering hot days. This number can double as a particularly chic beach coverup.
