How it is? Tips
Hippie fashion emerged with a counterculture movement in the United States – you must definitely know the famous Woodstock festival, right? Well, with the idea of revolution without wars, this trend deconstructed styles and created one that had multiple influences.
Then, pieces with ultra-colors, curved and psychedelic prints, in leather, suede and crochet, began to be seen. Light fabrics were mandatory and could be mixed with more rigid pieces, such as jeans, which were launched in the 70s.
From then on, the Hippie style was present until today, being very successful among fashionista girls.
What helps to give even more grace to this look are the accessories. Lots of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, anklets and bracelets and even hair ornaments.
Speaking of hair, in this style it is not necessary to leave them neat and flat, no. The idea is to let go.
Messy braids and buns look charming, but the most characteristic are the loose and natural strands.
Oriental ethnic costumes and inspirations from North American Indians also give strength to the look. You can bet on light kimonos, pantaloons or bell bottoms, suede or suede vests, fringe pieces, leather boots and feather accessories!
The essential for the Hippie style is to present a “I made it myself” look, even if the pieces are new…
Hippie style clothes reflect the way people of that time would like to live life: light and uncomplicated, where the wind wants to take!
To take on this trend on a daily basis, you need to take this into account, choose relaxed pieces and act naturally, without too much pomp and seriousness.
Putting love and happiness first makes the style more interesting.
