Boho Looks for a Fabulous Summer
Sunday, 24 June 2007

Now that eco-chic and bohemian inspiration have made their way to the runways, it?s clear that the retro look and hippie couture is definitely back in style.?

?

Ugg boots offer an alternative to the standard Wellington , a hippie?s take on the comfortable yet chic ensemble for some modern-day glam.

Designers are moving away from the super-low-waist trend in jeans and pants, with the reintroduction of bell bottoms.?

Summer dresses this season are bordering on floaty skirts, lace trimmings, and vibrant redntionds of vintage chic.? The minidress isn?t just a tight little number; this season?s floaty fabrics and frock-style renditions offer some variety for summer fun.? Mischeiveous prints and sweet pink frocks with a little shimmer are just a few of the latest looks from designer Alannah Hill.

This season also brings forward curve-enhancing wrap dresses, and plenty of floral prints to step up the flower power.? Yves Saint Laurent presents frilly frocks with a touch of vintage style in this purple paisley infusion:

Electro tie-dye prints and contemporary vintage spinoffs are still a top trend. We?re finding vibrant neon and fluorescent prints for t-shirts and dresses, while the retro look is in high style with sunglasses that encourage a step back to the days of Andy Warhol.?

The scattering of East-meets-West fabrics, along with Mediterranean influences from the coasts, are also making their way into handbags, exotic scarves, and even high-end jewelry.? While fashion styles of the past will always play a role in determining the fashions of tomorrow; the key to picking up on this season?s boho chic style is all a matter of timing. Out with the old, and in with the new?? On the contrary, we?re seeing hybrids of vintage, retro, and hippie looks with plenty of room for a versatile look through this Fall.
