Over 60 And Being A Hippie

Let’s just clear something up right now. Turning 60 does not mean turning beige. It does not mean giving up flowy skirts, statement jewelry, wide-leg pants, fringe bags, or walking into a room like you still own your sparkle.
If anything, this is the season where we finally stop dressing for everybody else. And if you’re plus size? Even better. More fabric to flow. More presence to command. More room for confidence. Boho style isn’t about size. It’s about spirit.
Let’s build a wardrobe that feels like sunset patios, road trips, music festivals in our memories, and coffee on the porch with BigDog.
Why Boho Style After 60?
Think:
- Flowing maxi dresses
- Embroidered tunics
- Soft kimonos
- Wide-leg linen pants
- Chunky turquoise jewelry
- Leather sandals or worn-in boots
- Oversized sunglasses (because drama is allowed)
1. The Flowy Maxi Dress (Our Power Piece)
A maxi dress is forgiving, flattering, and effortless.
Why it works:
- Skims the body (no clinging)
- Gives movement
- Works for curves
- Easy to dress up or down
Style tip:
Add a denim jacket or lightweight kimono. Stack bangles. Add a messy bun. Done. Confidence level: 10/10.
2. Tunic + Wide Leg Pants (Comfort Without Looking “Frumpy”)

A kimono is magic.
Throw it over:
- Tank + jeans
- A simple black dress
- Leggings + sandals
It adds:
- Movement
- Color
- That “she travels” energy
And let me tell you, movement is flattering at every size.
4. Shoes That Match the Vibe (But Support the Knees)
Because we are not 22, we need:
- Cushioned sandals
- Supportive wedges
- Soft leather slides
- Boho ankle boots
Style does not require suffering. We are retired from uncomfortable.
5. Accessories Make the Outfit

Boho without accessories is just… fabric.
Layer:
- Long beaded necklaces
- Turquoise statement pieces
- Stacked rings
- Fringe bags
- Oversized sunglasses
This is where personality shows up.
Plus Size Boho: Let’s Talk Real
Boho is incredibly forgiving for curves. Why?
- Loose silhouettes
- Adjustable waists
- Flowy layers
- Soft fabrics
What to avoid:
- Boxy shapeless tops
- Stiff materials
- Too much bulk in one area
Balance is key. Flow, but shape. And remember, we are not hiding our bodies. We are dressing them beautifully. So have fun this spring and let that hippie girl out, I know I am definitely working on allowing her to shine.
