New Bohemian
The bohemian look will be around as long as someone remembers the 60s fondly, whether or not they a)actually remember them or b)were around to see the people remembering them remember them. The style back then – whether Jacqueline Kennedy or clean hippy – was pretty good from the neck down. However, the loose and flowing bohemian looks on plus sizes tend to get interpreted into caftans and all too often stop there.
However, there is some movement towards improvement with shimmering fabrics, well-fitted peasant blouses and the wonderful flare-leg pant.1
Why is this blouse here? Shiny!
Peasant blouses have always been a favorite bohemian standby of mine, usually over a long skirt for the full-hippy or over jeans or a straight skirt for something more balanced. One thing I have learned with these blouses: your bra really, really matters with these. You don’t need a push up bra, but you do need to choose something that defines, otherwise you risk the dreaded monoboob.

- I remember how hard fashion designers tried to bring back flare legs/bell bottoms in the early 90s. Given the resistance to them then, I’m thinking the way jeans are cut is some indicator of generational zeitgeist. [↩]
