Boho Chic

August 23rd, 2010

Boho Chic is a women’s clothing style that takes much from Bohemian and hippie styles.  This is a clothes style that comes and goes, but is always around in one form or another.  In recent years the phrase has become synonymous with the actress Sienna Miller, describing her eclectic fashion sense.  Boho Chic has inspired a number of high street ranges designed to appeal to those who want to emulate the look of their favourite celebrities. 

The look is very popular with those who attend music festivals and some of the staple clothing items which make up the look include floaty, gypsy style skirts, tunic baggy cardigans and hippy style bags.  The look is reminiscent of some Indian and Nepalese styles and does not have to cost the Earth, as there is no reliance on designer labels. 

One of the reasons that the look is so popular is that it is very easy for the wearer to put together themselves.  Those who do not have much money can search charity shops for suitable items and it does not involve hours on the high street trying to find items that go well together. 

It is also popular as it is a comfortable style and you can tailor the look to suit yourself.  If you are not comfortable in the floaty skirts then faded jeans will work well.  The baggy cardigans can be replaced with cropped jackets; you can experiment with different combinations until you find a look you like.
