Where To Find 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.

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.

Specialty shops also have large inventories of Boho styles to select from. They may also specialize in tie dyed garments and accessories. The clothes and accessories found in these stores may be hand made by the seller or in the case of many internet companies assembled overseas in third world countries. Many are made in China and India.

Many state and local fairs provide booths for retailers who handle clothing with a Bohemian flair. The sellers have dresses in full length designs as well as skirts and blouses that can be coordinated along with accessories such as purses and jewelry. Some specialty items may have been created from other garments such as turning old tattered jeans into purses or halter tops. Many vendors also create jewelry from items they have selected and re-purposed.

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.
