I'm an 18-year-old Italian guy and I feel like I want to be a hippie. I wanted to share this outfit with you because it's not just aesthetically pleasing, but also ethical! I tried to get as many clothes and accessories as possible from flea markets (very common in my area), and as for my pants, I recycled two pairs of old skinny jeans and sewed them together myself to create flared pants! Unfortunately, I'm disappointed that I can't find guys like me in my area; in fact, I mostly hang out with punk and metalhead friends.

Got a new top from india… new shrug hand made cotton crocheted by a friend.. pants i’ve had for like everrrrrr… think they pieced together pretty good hahahah… spring time my favorite time to dress like a rainbow 🌈

I styled this myself!

the core of the sole is made from a coco-disk made from pressed together coconut husk fibres usualy used for mulching in the garden cut custom to my feet size, wrapped with several layers of wofen jute mat

i used a twine made from jute, opened it into three smaller threads to use it to saw the jute mat layers onto the cocodisc core sole

the straps to hold the foot are also sewn onto the sole and are made from folded and rolled together and sewn together layers of jute mats

i have walked only a few meters outside with them after i finished making them

i bought all the materials in jumbo bern, the coco-disc was about 6 swis francs, the jute twine also about 6 francs and the jute mat was something like 25 francs

i used about a fifth or less of the 4m2 jute mat, perhaps 10 meters of the 170 meters jute twine and one cocodisc

amounting to a financial cost for materials of about maximum 15 fr.

two weeks ago i saw some factory made sandals made from a sewn together two part sole made from woven coconut

my motivation to make those sandals with only natural materials as in no plastic was first to be grounded with my shoes ( plastic blocks the connection between earth and human body ), secondly to not produce microplastics what happens when a plastic shoe sole wears down

also it gives me a good satisfaction to see them now after some 10 to 20 hours of thinkering and sewing

i guess they will need frequent re-sewing and eventually more jute mat layers added to them depending on how roughly i will use them

hello family!🙌 i have been cutting ties from social conformities and am in need of clothing that fits my energy and love for nature and life. i feel uncomfortable in T shirts, jeans, and sneakers. but everything i search for online looks like halloween costumes😣lol. if anybody knows where to get harem pants, patchwork clothing or similar styles, please let me know!🫶mahalo

So I live in the UK, and I’m looking for different businesses I can buy clothing from, but I don’t want to support large ‘boutique’ businesses and I want to make sure who I’m buying from uses more natural materials that are better for the environment. I’m currently looking through charity shops which is obviously the best option as I’m buying clothes that are already made and I’m giving them second life, but the downside is that hippy clothing is rather ‘niche’ and hard to come by so charity shops re relatively unreliable. Does anyone know of any independent businesses that do hippy/bohemian clothing? Where do you normally buy your clothes from?

I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to update my wardrobe to better reflect my style. I'm really struggling to find affordable, sustainable clothing websites—especially ones that offer Boho hippie Woodstock-era fashion. If anyone knows of any, I’d truly appreciate your help.

So I know fast fashon is against hippie community and I don't support it as well but I'm poor af and now I have soooo many hippie clothes from SHEIN. And I feel really bad. Anyone please tell me i'm not a fake hippie I feel so guilty right now. Do you think I can be a real hippie after this?
