​10yr Rio Daisy ShortBoho Chic is the pricier cousin of Bohemian style, a fashion lifestyle that has been around for centuries. This is homespun: literally homespun and home-made, a style worn by roaming nomads and free spirits. As roaming gypsies became more affluent, they have taken the form or Sienna Miller and Drew Barrymore. Bohemian got a pricey upgrade in the form of Boho Chic. No need to weave your own organic threads; just buy them for a few hundreds of dollars in the latest style at boutiques like Rosie True.

And what an offering Boho Chic has spawned. It has made homespun very much premium stuff. This is great news to our traditional textile crafts that would have remained in the realm of musty grandmothers, lost forever to a past generation. Being Boho Chic is not just a consumer enterprise. The style supports a hoard of hand crafts that would not find a market otherwise. Hand-made, old school quality pieces are in and here to stay in it new incarnation of Boho Chic.

Novelty tops are also a great item to window shop online, and get ideas from to make your own top. We are seeing a lot of South Asian influence in Boho Chic, particularly in the flowing shapes and colours of these breezy fabrics. Sheer tops and loose fits are refreshing and pleasing to the eye. More importantly, they do well for all body types. Full crochet tops, short dresses and short shorts is a trend that has been around since 2010 and looks to be still going strong in 2013. Pieces like these are kept forever.
