The World Closet

The World Closet bohemian dressBohemian style that mixes kurta and kimono flair into flowery little day dresses and broomstick skirts. Lots of Papillon, lots of embroidery and sequins. The jewelry throws Swarovski crystals into falls of gemstones and beads, and the aromatherapy page features soy candles that melt into massage oil.

Tied Up And Dyed rainbow yoga pantsCotton clothes brightened up with fractals and splotches, both the iconic hippie spirals and more freeform bursts of color. Tees, tanks, hoodies, longsleevers, miniskirts, hotshorts, plus and kids’ sizes, flared yoga pants which show the patterns off especially well. Custom welcome.

High Clothing elven pocket beltPsywear for men and women, grabbing the practicality of festival duds and running off into cyber. Lots of colorblocking, often enticingly squiggly: pixie-jagged tops, druid hoods, self-buckling skirts, pants slapped with cargo pockets and traced with neon, singlets and sweaters. And some spacey-bright pocket belts made to coordinate.

Mental Peace Celtic tribal t-shirtA blacklight hybrid of 70’s mushroomy bongshop psychedelia and modern tribal knotworked mandalas, the kind of labyrinthine designs made for losing your eyes in. Deep space, the elements, emotions rendered abstract and bursting with color, available on tees, hoodies, tanks, and dresses, with some of them featuring the neato effect of emerging only in abnormal light.

Antidote Clothing gothic cocktail dressThis site takes a break from the over-the-top costuming so beloved by various subcultures, and instead tones things down into daywear and cocktail dresses, good for offices and family get-togethers and any other kind of normalish event where you still want to be yourself. The aesthetics are all over the map, but there’s plenty of slinky/floaty/clingy designs for a more relaxed version of opulent dress. Thanks, Dian!

Mishu Boutique

Mishu Boutique spiral jacketIt looks like a catalog of floaty boho hippiewear, but keep going and you’ll hit pocket belts. Paisleys and patchwork are mixed up with nymphy jagged skirts and hoodies, with much of the stock “kind of like wearing your pajamas but sexy,” and of course a site like this would be incomplete without a page of yoga pants. Cute summer dresses for the little ones, too.
Thanks, Zac!

One World Is Enough

One World Is Enough silk patchwork festival dressFair-trade fashion of the festival and hippie variety, everything imported in small batches from families and local collectives in Thailand, Tibet and Nepal: dresses of silk sari patches, psychedelic hoodies and paisleyed bellsleeves, skirts tiered and layered, striped button-downs and batik pants for the guys, and kids’ stuff too. Also puppets, singing bowls, Bodhisattva paintings, Buddha statues, and loads of housewares.
