HOW TO LOOK “BOHO CHIC”

10 EXCLUSIVE STYLE TIPS Bohemian style, now referred to as “boho chic”, has come down through history, reappearing as beatnik style and in the hippie culture of the 1960s. The bohemians as a counterculture, appeared in France after the French Revolution. This culture began when artists were deprived of a system, where wealthy clients bought works of art. Artists were then plunged into poverty, which really started the bohemian movement.

Many artists took up a nomadic life style, lived cheaply and wore unconventional clothing. Bohemian style evolved into a cult of the individual; a person whose very appearance became a work of art with creatively planned outfits and accessories. The word “bohemian” suggested a sense of arcane enlightenment, sexual freedom, and spiritual nesting.

Today, bohemians stand out in crowds representing a colorful counterculture based on creativity, freedom, and an indifference to social structures and traditions. The present-day bohemian girl represents a free spirit, who is well-cultured, loves to travel, and is known as adventurous because of her clothing choices and her lifestyle.

Dear Editor Bohemian Lifestyle Q & A

by Destani Gourdine

Advice Column: Q Dear Destani: What is modern day bohemian culture?

What does mean to live a bohemian lifestyle in today? _K.B., Bridgewater, NJ. Dear K.B.: Great question! In modern usage “ Bohemian” describes any person who lives an unconventional artistic life., where self expression is the highest value: ( art, acting, painting, poetry, writing, dancing , singing and etc.) are all central parts of bohemian lifestyles. A bohemian lifestyle generally involves freedom from social restraints, explaining why most bohemians are nonconformists.

If so which one and would you recommend it? _S.J., Buffalo, NY.

Dear S.J.: Bring on the randomness! I’m a huge foodie, so this is really fun to answer .

Yes! I have tried a couple of traditional bohemian meals, but my ultimate favorite is the bohemian platter in “Central Prague” Europe. This platter consists of roast duck and pork, beer sausage, smoked meat, red and white cabbage, bread, bacon and potato dumplings. This is a well known bohemian recipe and it is delicious.

Q Dear Destani: Random Q Dear Destani: What do question but have you eaten any you consider modern bohemian style? _N.M., Philadelph“traditional” bohemian meals? ia, PA. 15

Dear N.M.: To me, modern bohemian fashion is all about incorporating your modern day style with traditional bohemian elements such as ( loose flowing clothing, less restrictive garments and lots of layering). Your modern day outfit should include a pop of traditional boho, which will make it edgy along with being Q Dear Destani: What are the best places to find nice, bohemian clothes at a low to moderate price point? _ C.T., Pittsburg, PA.

Dear C.T.: Good question!

With the emerge of fast affordable fashion and online shopping, you can pretty much find bohemian clothes anywhere for reasonable prices. A few of my favorite online stores that have great prices and a wide selection of bohemian styles are Milanoo.com, Shein.com, and Venus.com. I recently just bought 3 tops and a dress from Shein.com for a total of 65 dollars. This store offers a lot of promotions and deals, that really help you budget your spending. Definitely check them out and I hope this was helpful.
