What exactly is vintage bohemian clothing

Bohemian, or boho clothing is a style term tossed around loosely.  It defines a certain look, a certain style of dress that is popularized by new pieces being produced today by the fashion houses.  But vintage bohemian clothing can be found, and is a delight to wear.

Interested to learn more? Well, the first step is fit. Bohemian clothing isn’t baggy, it needs to have a good fit. You are probably aware of the most popular bohemian look which is the tie dye skirts and shirts. With the tie dye, colors that blend with your other pieces are best to look for. A great boho tie dye shirt teamed up with a solid pair of pants or a maxi skirt is glam! It is fun and it is eye catching.

Once you have found your outfit, don’t forget the accessories. These include a great bohemian purse. Check for ones that are fabric….most popular are those that look like sacks or bags. Your jewelry is another way to pull off a great bohemian look by including anything that looks handmade. Think raw earthy materials like stones, gems, beads, etc. Earthy is the key.

Lastly, check out your tootsies.  What is on your feet?   Bohemian looks favor comfort so you won’t see many high heels or pointy toes.  You will see flats, sandals (gladiator sandals are really popular), boots, and moccasins. Remember that comfort is key in boho footwear.

So don’t be afraid to mix and match, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Teaming up your favorite vintage bohemian piece with a newly purchased modern day piece is a great way to bring out your personality and fashion sense.

I’ve found some amazing vintage boho pieces of clothing on eBay. Use both vintage bohemian and vintage boho in separate searches; some sellers don’t realize they should be using both in their titles. This means you can sometimes sneak in and nab a great bargain!

Happy vintage dressing….!
