New Bohemian Fashion
The bohemian fashion trend just sashayed into town, trotted around and quickly exited.
For a short time, kids could get their hands on generic paisley and layered hippie shirts at the mall. Those pieces became extinct as quickly as they arrived possibly because the images conjured when speaking of bohemian fashion are not closely related to what current bohemian fashion is all about.
True bohemian fashion is not a trend, so the clothing is equally unique. The bohemian is no stranger to a sewing machine. Bohemians generally loathe throwing anything out. Attic treasures and hand-me-downs excite the creativity and are transformed into a new wardrobe. The bohemian's closet is thicker with inspiration than completed pieces. To those of bohemian persuasion, a day of rummaging through found possessions is far more appealing than shopping at American Apparel or Urban Outfitters.
Throngs of imitations will never impress a true bohemian. They can sniff out a poseur from at least a bike width's away. Amid the trendy consumers' noses, it can be certain there is a fashion revolution occurring. Authentic bohemian fashion sends off bells, drawing the culture close together to cultivate new and innovative fashion styles.
Since spending accounts often are low, handmade clothes are a guaranteed sign of authentic bohemian fashion. When resources are scarce, the creativity envelop gets pushed further. Not all bohemian fashion looks old or re-used. Though thrift and consignment shopping is a trend originating in the bohemian sensibility, a true bohemian knows how to make clothing appear cunningly stylish.
To pick a certain style as strictly bohemian would be to say all handbags are created equal. A bohemian relies on personal instinct rather than conscious choice to make waves in the fashion arena. Staying true to oneself is the biggest factor of the equation of bohemian fashion. To be bohemian, one must be revolutionary without realizing it, just as many designers are. Of course a high level of self-esteem is needed to pull off what khaki-and-polo wearing types would be too shy to wear out of the house. Bohemians are not wallflowers. The more extreme or irrational the ensemble is the better. They want their words heard, their style seen and their art shared with the world.
Bold moves are important in recognizing bohemian fashion. Colors may sometimes clash, but this creates a visual interest people are unable to look away from. Bohemian fashion is all about mismatched pieces creating masterful results.
Any great artistic movement in history was initially deemed odd. Creative people often are ahead of their time. What the bohemian wore last spring will show up in the next year's September issues of Vogue.
These days, society is steadily becoming de-sensitized to oddness, so it is easy to see why new bohemians are sometimes overlooked. The look of the past has been ingrained in most people's brains. New bohemians are all around, strutting in suede boots in the middle of the summer, or pointed toe mules in the depths of snow; it is a fashion show going on out there!
A sense of nostalgia is also prevalent in bohemian fashion. Just as art takes cues from the past, bohemians call on historical fashion for inspiration. A bohemian knows how to take the classics from the past and apply them in totally new and unexpected ways. There is something so simple and pure in someone listening to their inner voice when choosing to adorn the body.
Everything a bohemian breathes, lives and wears is art.
