How To Dress Hippie Chic (For Women)

Okay, so it’s not the swinging sixties anymore, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still embrace the hippie chic look with a bit of vintage styling for a look that will really make you stand out among the crowd. We give you some tips on how to do it. Firstly, try layering up different tops for a sweet, feminine look that’s also a bit bohemian. A pretty, lace-edged camisole layered with loose, white cotton long-sleeve shirts is not only a great feminine look, but it works with lots of styles.

You can easily create a great hippie vibe with the addition of a few key items of jewelry. You can do whatever you want here so feel free to go crazy with rings, flowers and bows. A wrist loaded with shiny metal bangles works as a style statement in its own right as well as helping achieve that hippie look. Also, winding long ropes of beads around your neck looks great and will really help to take your outfit to the next level.

We also love the gilet as it can add a great hippie vibe to your outfit, especially if you go for one made out of black, beige or grey suede. Try going for one with a faux fur lining, or perhaps one that just has touches of fur around the edges to help make you stand out. The gilet also looks good with loads of other things, so it’s a truly great look no matter how you choose to wear it.

You can also make the most of current fashion – maxi skirts are currently really popular, so forget all those micro minis and get yourself into some long-skirted hippie fashion. There are some great offerings around right now so you could go for a long white skirt for a bit of girly chic or, for a more mysterious vibe, a dark khaki skirt. It all really depends on the look you’re trying to create whether you decide you want to go for floating cotton or something slinkier.

Lastly, for a bit of hippie practicality, get yourself a chunky knitted sweater or cardigan. These are especially great in natural, unbleached wool as they help to give you an organic look while being kind to the environment. If you want a colored sweater, then try going for one that’s been dyed using natural products. The chunky knit will help keep you warm while looking stylish. Then all you need to do is tousle up your hair and you’re ready to go.
