LOOKING for the free and easy alternative to all that body conscious clothing and hard-edged fashion?

Hippy chicks rejoice: Boho is back. But before you go rummaging around for past season gypsy skirts and gilets, the trend has undergone a hip new revival.

The fashion world have dubbed the look LA Boho, New Boho or even 'Foho'.

Reincarnated with a pretty folk edge that'll make you look like an extra from Little House On The Prairie, this understated new take on Boho is all about washed-out denims and pale crochet dresses.

Wipe out all association with the oh-no Boho' trend sparked by Sienna Miller circa 2005.

Even the actress tired of the very look she inspired, moaning: "I just don't want to wear anything floaty or coin-belty ever again. No more gilets, or cowboy boots."

So how can Sienna and fellow fashionistas achieve the updated look? Think 70s silhouettes, crochet trims and trippy hippie prints and you'll be a fully fledged Boho babe in no time at all.
