How to Get That Free-Spirited Gypsy Style

I love the flowing, eclectic, colorful and embellished outfits put together in the gypsy style.  It’s free-spirited!  You can dress for your true self, and age doesn’t matter.  I often see artistic women of a certain age in multi-color, sweeping skirts with loads of jewelry.

Today’s gypsy style is likened to a global, bohemian style; thus, the offshoot of Gypset — a style adopted by jet-setters who travel the globe.  The modern gypsy style is an exotic combination of tribal, art deco, hippie, ethnic, gothic,  and of course vintage.

How to dress like a gypsy:

1. Colors — wine, camel, brown, gold, olive.
2. Jewelry — ethnic, stacked bangles (5-6 thin ones or 1-2 thick ones per arm), big rings (turquoise, amber, rose quartz, jasper), a toe ring, chandelier earrings or gold hoops.
3. Scarves — paisley, or a solid if wearing a busy blouse; around neck or around head or as a belt (or a leather belt with a giant elaborate buckle).
4. Boots — clean-cut designs or Uggs.
5. Jeans — boot-cuts.
6. Velvet — i.e., a top or skirt or pants or dress.
7. Peasant tops or tunics — including paisley

Some outfit ideas:

• Try a crushed velvet or soft (such as chiffon) dresses with a shawl, a fedora, and heavy jewelry contrasted with ripped jeans, shaggy knitwear and fur.  You may want to add chunky wedges and a tiered chiffon slip.
• A billowy blouse inside a full, colorful, long skirt + a vest.  Add beads, a necklace, a scarf or scarves as a belt.  Or — add a sarong over the skirt.  Or — add pants under the skirt.
• A fringed, burnout velvet kimono with a printed maxi skirt and a top of your choice. You might like to add coins:  one or more necklaces, a belt or a scarf/sash with coins embroidered onto it.

• Tuck a turtleneck into a full maxi skirt (asymmetric hem, ruffled, tiered, etc.) Add a metallic bib necklace + chunky heeled boots.

• A black top + a long, full skirt + strappy black sandals. Sling an embellished metallic belt with coins or charms over it. Add an ethnic statement necklace.

• Tuck a long-sleeve t-shirt into an asymmetric-hem skirt. Add leggings if short or tights if long. Wear big gold hoop earrings.
