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.

A large part of this fashion statement involves layering of pieces that might include a skirt and blouse with a jacket or shawl over it. Using accessories such as belts or scarves as belts can add color and tie the outfit together. Many times one item, such as a scarf can be used in several ways to change the attitude of an outfit. Re-purposing items is a very common practice.

Finding the best look for yourself may involve experimenting with several different looks but there is a wide assortment of websites online that can supply whatever garment you are looking for. Virtually every site has pictures of items that fit into this fashion mode. Many will supply catalogues if you request one. There are also sites that offer tie dyed clothes as well as jewelry and other necessities.

The neighborhood thrift store is another rich resource for finding garments and accessories to create your look. These stores specialize in items that have been gently worn and have character. Much of their stock comes from estate sales that contain garments and jewelry from the flower child era.

There are huge numbers of specialty shops that carry the Boho look on their racks. You may find unique pieces of jewelry such as wooden hoop earrings or re-purposed gems made into pendants. Many of the shop owners create their own stock or commission artists to do it for them. Some purchase in bulk from companies located outside the country.

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.

Regardless of the item you are looking for you can be fairly certain to find it with a little research on the internet. Once you know what it is that completes your look it becomes a simple task of finding it locally or completing an order from the best retailer online.
