With every fashion season comes a multitude of different trends, but the bohemian look has retained its spot as one of the mainstays of fashion runways around the world. Originating from the 70s — the era of free love and endless positivity — this trend was fuelled by the free-spirited hippie culture and gained widespread popularity among women, thanks to the top stars of the day: Farrah Fawcett, Joni Mitchell and Diane Keaton.
So if you have heard about this particular trend and are dying to try it but have not a clue on how to start, get some inspiration from these four celebrities and their boho chic looks!
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner’s outfit at the Coachella music festival perfectly epitomises the boho chic trend (but with slight contemporary twists) — center-parted hair accessorised with a gold headband, off-shoulder crop top and a two-slit maxi skirt.
Nothing else works faster in giving off a 70s boho chic vibe than center parted hair that is long, wavy and accessorised with a headband. Off-shoulder silhouettes are also perfect for a casual bohemian style, while a cropped top version serves to give a daring spin on things by not only exposing the shoulders and collarbones, but the midriff too.
Vanessa Hudgens
A list of celebrity bohemian looks isn’t ever complete with a mention of Vanessa Hudgens. The American actress is almost always snapped in classic boho clothing items both on and off the red carpet — leather boots, maxi dresses or skirts, kaftans, rompers and chunky, stacked jewelry, making her the poster girl for hippie bohemian style.
Here, she wears a low-cut flowy dress and has her long, wavy hair done halfway up with little gold accessories, looking very much like a beautiful flower child that just walked straight out of the 70s.
Lauren Conrad
Maxi dresses and skirts have always been closely associated the hippie culture that heavily influenced the 70s, the flowy, unrestrictive fabric and colourful designs aptly reflect the uninhibited nature of the era. So for the hippies at heart, they are the best clothing items to have.
Here, with her beachy blonde waves, healthy tan and blue-purple ombre maxi, Lauren Conrad looks like a dreamy beach goddess. Doesn’t this look just bring to mind warm summer days lounging at the beach?
Nicole Richie
Over the years, Nicole Richie has developed her sartorial sense and quickly became one of the most famous faces in bohemian fashion, which also helped to cement her position as a style icon to watch for years to come.
Perfectly channelling the free-spirited hippies of the 70s, she favours flowy clothing that doesn’t overly restrict movement. With her flowy maxi dress in a vibrant floral print, statement jewelry, loose tousled bun and natural brown smokey eye makeup, she has the quintessential boho chic look down to a T!
