Summertime is the season when we daydream of flower fields, lazy days and weekend getaways with friends to music festivals or relaxed beach destinations. Or maybe just a simple backyard barbecue! Get inspired and get in tune with your inner hippie through this season’s biggest trend: Bohemian!
Combining elements of the free spirited vagabond attitude of the 60’s and 70’s with a modern edge, this style is all the rage from Coachella to Glastonbury. And you don’t even need tickets to look the part!
The boho look is easier to achieve than you may think with just a little tweak to your wardrobe. Elements that you should favor are natural materials: wood, leather, rope, denim, cotton… These materials provide an earthy feel that will make you at ease in any situation. And, if you often wear strict office attire or preppy school outfits, this style is also a great way to change your image and your outlook!
It’s peace and love from here on out, man!
Here are a few key ingredients to help you get that easy, breezy boho style:
· Footwear: Wedge sandals are perfect for your hippie look, but if you want a more practical option, flat sandals are great as well, particularly in leather. For festivals and muddy terrain you could do with a pair of ankle boots or even some Hunter wellies, just like all the Hollywood stars! ·
Maxi skirts and dresses: Long and flowing, maxi dresses and skirts embody all that is feminine and carefree in your summer wardrobe. Almost every designer has a maxi dress in their new collection this season!
· Denim: An alternative to the maxi dress is a great pair of cut off jean shorts, or some distressed jeans. From skinny bellbottoms to old, torn up boyfriend jeans, denim is a classic favourite that compliments the bohemian look well—such as a great jean jacket!
· Lace or crochet: As far as tops, shorts, skirts, vests and accessories, lace and crochet items are always a wise choice to achieve this look! This type of fabric provides an authentic, vintage allure that can change your attitude from rock rebel to boho babe in seconds!
· Accessories: All the scarves! Scarves can be worn around your head like a gypsy, around your shoulders, or just around the neck to keep off the summer evening chill. In the hot afternoon sun you’ll need a big floppy hat and some 70s sunglasses! Complete the look with a headband, bangle bracelets, friendship bracelets, wooden jewelry, and of course anything with fringe or feathers!
· Hair and makeup: Makeup should be fresh and natural looking. A hint of glitter in your foundation will go a long way; avoid bright lipsticks and heavy eye makeup. Your hair can be long and loose or pulled back in a lazy ponytail or bun. Carefree and natural are the rule!
