If Hippie Chicks Wore Bras    

A couple of years ago, nude Sienna Miller photos hit the net. Sienna was filming ‘Hippie Hippie Shake’ and was flaunting traditional hippie attire: nothing and some flowers.

Other traditional hippie looks do include clothes. After all, Sienna is largely responsible for the whole Boho Chic trend. Worn sandals, denim vests, and breezy peasant tops were a much needed break from New York’s vicious cycle of black being the new black. Sienna’s Boho trend imbued the streets, was glorified on the runway, and is gaining even more momentum now.

Everyone now knows the drill: a floral chiffon caftan plus a vintage belt plus the beads minus the bra. The last part made me wonder:

What kind of bras would hippie chicks go for, were they ever forced to wear one?

We will not force, we will suggest.

Here are the first two candidates.

Finally, we have a rocker-boho hybrid from Dsquared2.

The bra sparks immediate love because of its pattern of mini-whales, adorable in their unexpectedness. This led me to a thought: if we’ve come so far as to put miniature whales on the lingerie, then maybe hippie chicks can embrace the bra. End post: Lingerie Blog
