Bohemian ethnic blends two distinct trends into one. I think this look is fun, a little like how you got dressed when you were young. You just wore all the things you liked and thought were pretty, just because.
Fans of this trend can have fun going nontraditional and mixing colors, textures and fabrications. Even though it has an anything goes rule, to me it comes off looking put together. Think current day Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for a visual.The look is feminine, and actually quite classy. Done right Bohemian Ethnic can go to work, at least on casual Fridays.
Bohemian ethnic is not your average hippie, love child look but more of an upscale high fashion look. Here are a few key pieces and ideas to work this look into your wardrobe this winter. Look for upscale, quality fabrics and materials:
1. Floppy knit cap or hat, with gloves that offer a play on texture and color.
2. Ethnic print clothing, florals and colors. Booties and boots look great with this style.
3. Wear long dresses, full pants and leggings. Definitely layer, layer and layer.
4. Wear bold, funky jewelry, beads, peace signs. Suede or fringe slouchy bags look great with this style.
5 Try mixing different prints and fabrics that you normally would not have the nerve to try. Channel your inner artist or just dress like one.
6. Loose fitting, unstructured, long layers these are all keys to pulling off this look.
Lovin' this look,
