Finding Cheap Bohemian Style Clothing

By Karina Frost


Some people are known for their ability to dress for success in the chic high fashion garments found on the runways around the world. Others are better known for their ability to stylize their looks using more casual pieces that fit loosely and allow far more freedom of movement while still enhancing the wearers best features. Knowing how to recognize and where to find cheap Bohemian style clothing is essential for those following this fashion trend.

The key to having a successful look when going Boho-chic is not to overdo it when dressing. What most people seek is a look that is balanced. Using wardrobe staples in concert with items that are rich in details will give that balance without making you look like a street person. This look was inspired by the clothing worn in the hippie era of the sixties and seventies as well as from Romania artists and nomads who had little money to spend on new clothing.

Layering is a major part of this fashion statement. Women can put designs and colors together that normally would not be seen and by adding a sash, belt or shawl pull the designs and colors together effectively. Using a scarf as a belt or headband can alter the entire look of an outfit and adding a jacket can take it from day wear to evening wear in an instant.

Finding the detail rich accessories that fit with your face and body style may take some time but there are a multitude of different places available to search for them. The internet contains hundreds of sources that can supply pictures of their garments and many supply catalogs that contain items not seen online. In addition to vintage and tie dyed items they usually have jewelry and other accessories for sale that match the pieces you have purchased.

There are many local resources available to those seeking a Boho look. Most thrift stores have large stocks of items that have been used by others and found their way into the store. Many items are purchased from estates that belonged to the children of the sixties and contain many items from that era.

Specialty shops and novelty stores usually have a large supply of retro items including tie dyed garments that work very well with weathered jeans. Some proprietors create their own designs and others purchase them in bulk numbers. Some pieces you might see include shirts, dresses, purses and totes.

Regional flea markets and county fairs also have booths that offer garments that are either Bohemian in nature or re-purposed for resale. Here you may find long loose flowing dresses or skirts made from silk scarves that are perfect for layering with a short jacket or crocheted shawl. You may also find a cropped halter top made from re-purposed denim jeans that fits your personality perfectly.

Finding a style of dress that meets your needs as well as satisfying your fashion sense can be exciting for many people. Finding what you want at your finger tips makes it an absolute pleasure.
