Hippie Chic

Here’s good news for those who aren’t into the neon colors trend this summer: 70s bohemian is always on fashion scene.

Flower prints, flowing maxi dresses with billowing sleeves, wide-leg pants, fabrics like lace, silk and chiffon, soft leather and suede, macramé detailing and fringes are the key features of this romantic look.

Charlie’s Angels inspired wide-leg pants and jumpsuits, leather vests and suede suits while soft fringes in brown recreates a rodeo show vibe. All these bring back a cool, fresh look, something between innocence and sassy flair.

For our mother's generation, being a hippie was a social statement that involved weaving daisy chains and smoking ganja to the sounds of the Grateful Dead. But for us, being hippie-chic is a fun fashion statement that means empire-waist frocks, breezy blouses and beaded necklaces.

For every girl there is always a girl to find a hippie-boho icon to copycat! Like Nicole Ricchie, Siena Miller, Kate Moss, Kate Hudson, the Olsen twins...




Here's how to pull off the hippie/boho trend in today's world:

Stick to one item at a time. It's easy to overdo this look, so stick to one hippie-chic article of clothing or accessory per outfit.

Balance with something tailored. Pair a flouncy blouse with tailored shorts or a tiered-skirt with a crisp white shirt to make your look up-to-date.

Add a modern touch. Think sleek silver accessories, mod lucite jewelry or fab oversized shades.

What do you guys think of the hippie trend--wearable or way too out there?
