Clothing Styles: Bohemian - Kendall Langis

"Something about bohemian style always reminds me of the way little girls play dress up: they like things that float and twirl, they aren't afraid of color and sparkle, they want to look pretty, be comfortable, and have a good time!" (Brooks 80) Bohemian, or "boho" is all about a style that's laid-back, comfortable, and self-expressive. It is heavily influenced by the hippie movement that began in the 60's. Boho is dressing for yourself instead of conforming to what others are doing. I picked an outfit that is just one example of this vast clothing style. I decided on a white peasant top with some simple designs around the neckline. A shirt like this is very comfortable, flowy, and classic boho. There are also many printed options, if plain white isn't your thing. "Bohemian prints have achieved classic status, as far as I'm concerned. I'm thinking of paisley, tapestry, romantic florals, basically anything that makes you think of the 60s or 70s." (Brooks 89) Bohoemian is, as I've said, all about comfort. For my pants, I chose some jeans that flared out at the bottom, as opposed to being skinny straight down. Another very popular option is the maxi skirt. Lastly, I finished off the look with some brown woven sandals and belt. Sandals were very popular during the hippie era, which is where the author of the book draws inspiration from. Would you wear an outfit similar to this? Thanks for reading! :)
