The style is one that has ruled the fashion world for decades.  Only it was not until recently that it sashayed onto the runway. It was actually created by the gypsy community. By using earth tones, light fabric and many accessories, the people of this culture found a comfortable yet intriguing trend. The colors consisted of subtle browns, greens and violets. Making those who wore the colors stand out from the bland crowds. Some celebrities that are well known for their bohemian trends would be Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Hudson and Mischa Barton. This style has evolved into the runway as “Boho Chic”, gaining much praise for its originality.

Men: This style was first introduced to men as “hippie”. They took advantage of the comfort and wore their clothes loose, bright and flowing. It was meant to represent peace, happiness and love for the world. This fashion started to be influenced by Indian styles as the years past, creating a somewhat “grunge” appearance in the early 1990’s. Plaid was used as top layer widely among men. The idea was to not match but still look fashionable. They succeeded and along with past influences, men today still use this rule when following or creating their own style of bohemian.

Women: The flowing, soft fabrics were used because of the practicality and femininity. And last the accessories were the finishing touch. The more the better and the women used this idea for chunky wooden bracelets and countless long necklaces. They were usually hand made with beads that had dark colors to contrast with the outfit. The next trendsetter in the bohemian history would be the eco-friendly people of the 1960s. They represented everything bohemian, from the fashion sense to the relaxed and positive mindset. It started with the hair that was intended to be free and untamed. So a popular trend of bohemian would be long hair that represented everything natural. It cascaded over loose fitting bright tops as well as tight pants with neutral tones of brown. Long skirts with alternate layers were also common.
