The Y2K Boho Chic Is Back!
Boho chic or bohemian style has its roots in the 60s hippie movement. Mainly associated with youth peace movements against the norm and psychedelic music movements. Besides its political impact, its cultural significance is seen to date. With the boho chic, Coachella-esque fashion trends of the mid-2010s. Which was popularized by celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Vanessa Hudgens. Hudgens also went as far as incorporating 70s bell-bottom jeans, high-waisted jeans and ponchos in her style, and while it’s controversial but she was one of the early pioneers of retro style with a modern edge.
The boho style typically includes clothes with South Asian traditional motifs, psychedelic patterns, cowgirl boots or boots in general and oxidized jewellery. Some even include heavy lace use, chunky belts, animal prints and an earthy colour palette. The boho chic comeback has not been revived as a full style as before, but it’s being resurrected in elements and microtrends. Trends like the coastal cowgirl, whimsical gothic style, fairycore, Y2K boho and a bit of witchcore.
