Hippie Clothes

There is a big fashion trend that has more and more people dressing in hippie clothes. So to help you out we will discuss the most popular single item of hippie clothing that will have you in style in no time at all.

The Baja Hoodie is a very comfortable and casual style item. They became popular in the late 80s and early 90s when surfers in California started wearing them. Everyone remembers seeing Dylan McKay, the heartthrob surfer on the 90s TV show 90210, wearing a baja pullover. Now it's just a cool, laid-back style for everyone to wear. You simply pull them over anything and are ready to go out.

Baja pullovers come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. You can get them in solid colors or many different striped versions. There are subdued hues as well as vibrant colors available, meaning there is a baja poncho for everyone's taste. There are adorable kids sizes as well as very large adult sizes.

Most commonly made of 100% cotton, a baja pullover is very warm and the woven fabric keeps the wind out. That is probably why it is so popular with the surfers. Also, southern California surfers' proximity to Mexico is another reason they took hold in that group; they could easily head to Tijuana to pick some up. Fortunately you do not need to go all the way to Mexico to get them! Mexican Threads has a very large selection of hippie clothes that you can browse through.

Hippie Clothing Or Mexican Clothing - Baja Hoodie Poncho Sweater

There has been much debate on whether the famous baja hoodie poncho sweater should be categorized as a piece of hippie clothing or Mexican clothing. The reason being that baja poncho is made in Mexico but worn by hippies. If you go to Mexico, you will not see many people wearing baja hoodies around. But if you go to a Bob Marley concert you will find them all over. Mexico profits off of hippies when it comes to these baja shirts. So do you call a sweater by who wears it or by who makes it? The answer should be to keep the name of the sweater neutral.

Instead of giving the pullover sweatshirt a name like a drug rug, because of the hippie influence or a Mexican hoodie because of the fact they are made in Mexico, they should simply be known as Baja Hoodies. In Spanish the material they use is known by 2 names, franela or jerga. The best translation for those 2 word to English is baja. So the perfect name would be a baja hoodie pullover and not just a baja poncho because a poncho is without sleeves and a hood.

Fashion Hoodies

No matter who makes them or who wears them you can't argue that they are great pieces of clothing and that everyone should own at least one in their lifetime. They are inexpensive and very easy to find on the Internet so don't pay attention to debate over which name they should adopt and get yourself one for the winter.
