Staying Ahead Of The Trends By Sticking With The Past

The saying History Repeats Itself rings true, even in fashion. Reoccurring fashion trends seem to haunt us each season. So why not be ahead of the game and bring back an old look before it is popular. It won’t be long before the look of the late 1960′s is back and popular. You can already see signs of its comeback in retail clothing stores.

One of the greatest fashion finds for any woman is great jewelry. And what woman wouldn’t love antique engagement rings to go with her bohemian fashion look. These loved pieces of jewelry often have fascinating stories behind them and wearing them can really take you back in time. Lots of jewelry, especially rings and necklaces are key to successfully pulling off this look.

Every Bo-ho look must have a great pair of jeans. Not every type of jeans go with this look however. Your best jeans are low rise with flare legs. The wider the bottom of the pant leg, the better. Jeans should look worn and well loved. Faded with some small, well placed holes, or even patched. Anything to make them look worn.

While most people who wear this look wore sandals, the best addition is a brown boot. They have a natural, earthy look, but are great for any weather. They are also wearable for any time of year. They last quite a bit longer than sandals as well and look great with jeans.

Now you need to find a cute top that goes well with your look. A peasant style top that is nice and light will work perfect. It is earthy enough to be Bo-ho while sweet enough to be trendy. Look for something with a light floral print and maybe some embroidered trim.

To finish up your groovy Bohemian look, you cant resist adding hobo bags. They are large enough to stash just about anything inside and are great for traveling or just doing your daily routine errands. And don’t forget a great pair of oversize sunglasses. Just about any photos of this era that you look at have great sunglasses to polish off the look.

As styles change, they always seem to come around full circle. If you save some of the best key pieces from these trends, you can mix and match them to create your own unique style. Then, when the style comes around again, you will already be ready with the perfect pieces to look both stylish and original.
