STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Do the ‘Harem' Shake

When the sun comes out so does individual style and creativity. It’s not all shorts and messy buns, but rather a large compilation of Fashionistas/os rocking their own versions of the newest trends. Recently, the appearance of ’70s fashion in street style and on the runway has resulted in free flowing, bohemian styled outfits. Whether it’s tie-dye, loose dresses or super flare pants, the eclectic ’70s era has made room for itself in closets once again.

This Fashionista has no trouble with incorporating boho vibes into her everyday attire. Her violet and plum hued harem pants are the focal point of this outfit and reminiscent of the late 60s and early ’70s when tie-dye was often worn. Her loose fitting crop top complements the high-waisted cut of the pants nicely. This outfit is not only perfect for a walk in the sun to class, but for dancing your butt off at all of the music fests that happen during the summer.

She personalized this outfit with a chic Evil Eye bracelet and a few stackable rings. Her nude sandals helped her play into the earthy feel of her clothes by offering a simple style in an earth-toned hue. Because her outfit boasted a more neutral palette, she donned small turquoise earrings to add a blip of color. Adding a set of bangles or a long necklace are also options for accessorizing an outfit like this.

Although this ensemble is undeniably comfortable, its components are all trendy pieces. By simply combining a pair of loose trousers or harem pants with a flouncy tank top or a chic crop top (like this adorable one from NASTY GAL) you’ll have a laid back outfit while still staying fashionable. These items are no harder to throw on than a pair of sweats and a T-shirt, but they offer a more stylish appearance. With harem pants anything goes and whether you’re rocking out or headed to class, they emit a stylish, bohemian addition.
