Hippie Fashion Style

By: Teresa Hall

Hippie fashion is a sure bet when it comes to infusing fashion with fun. Hippie fashion brings back the original bell-bottom jeans, bright bold colors and funky fun accessories. It really doesn't matter if you were around for the original hippie fashion era, if your mother was a flower child or even if Grandma was a hippie - hippie clothes are fun, comfortable and always open for a little interpretation.

Go Green
The green moment is bringing hippie fashion back into vogue. Back in the day, the hippie crowd was all about saving the planet and using eco-friendly products as much as possible. Today, you can find the peace sign making a big return to accessory fashion - whether being flashed by a Hollywood celebrity or visible on a shirt made from organic cotton. Don't be afraid of bright and bold - even tie-dye is making a splash in the fashion world all over again.

Hemp
Hemp clothing and accessories are also back in style in a big way. You can find hemp being used more than ever in pants, shirts and accessories, such as belts and purses. Believe it or not, you can even find hippie clothes made from bamboo fibers.

Patched Up
Patchwork works well in hippie fashions, offering a special detailed touch to tops, tanks, skirts or accessories. For the most authentic hippie look, show courage and mix those patterns.

Flower Children
They didn't call the hippies flower children for nothing - go for the florals, especially in free-flowing cotton skirts and dresses. You can also put a flower in your hair or pin one on your shirt.

Fringed
Don't forget the fringe! Whether hanging from your jacket, purse or even your skirt, everyone knows great hippie fashion has to live on the fringe.
