Free People, renowned for its free-spirited and eclectic style, is a mecca for those who love bohemian fashion. However, it’s not the only place to shop if you have a boho sense of style!
In this guide, we’ll explain Free People’s aesthetic and share a list of brands with similar bohemian fashion vibes.
Table of Contents
First, What Clothing Style is Free People?
Free People is quintessential bohemian. Their offerings include vintage-inspired pieces, flowy silhouettes, and quirky accessories.
The brand is all about free-spirited creativity, making it a go-to for those seeking unique, eclectic looks.
27 Brands Like Free People
1. Anthropologie
Anthropologie is like Free People’s older, more sophisticated sister. The brand, which is, in fact, a sister brand to Free People, is known for its blend of boho-chic and modern looks, as well as statement home decor.
Shop here for flowy dresses, quirky dinnerware, luxurious scented candles, and stunning gifts for every boho girl in your life.
While Anthropologie’s price point is higher than Free People’s, if you want investment-quality bohemian pieces, it’s an incredible place to shop.
2. Bohme
Bohme is a line of boutiques in the western US that you can also shop online.
Owned by a pair of sisters, the store is a haven for those who vibe with effortless style and are always searching for pieces that blend comfort and glamour.
From dreamy dresses to the perfect pair of jeans, Bohme’s pieces are both approachable and whimsical with that perfect bohemian feel.
As a bonus, their prices are quite reasonable, generally around the same as Free People or cheaper.
3. Show Me Your Mumu
Show Me Your Mumu has a free-spirited energy similar to Free People’s, offering a diverse range of products in eye-catching prints and fun colors.
While the brand is primarily known for its dresses, it actually carries a huge range of products, including kids’ and maternity clothes, all in its signature boho-girly style.
In addition, Show Me Your Mumu is reasonable price-wise; if you shop their sale section, you can find some amazing deals on their pieces!
4. Spell
Spell is a bohemian fashion brand based out of Australia.
Every piece has a breezy, beachy feel, so the store is perfect if you’re shopping for summer or a vacation!
Spell really shines for its prints: Almost everything boasts a floral or geometric print or at least a texture of some sort. You won’t find anything basic here.
5. Cleobella
Cleobella bills itself as a sustainable and ethical brand, offering pieces that are “ethically handmade by independent artisans around the world.”
Like most sustainable and ethical brands, Cleobella prices their items on the high end because their costs are higher than fast fashion brands. You truly get what you pay for here!
As a bonus, 1% of every Cleobella sale is donated to the charity of your choice, giving you a say in where your dollars go.
6. Sezane
By now, you have probably heard of Sezane — the French label has become one of the hottest up-and-coming brands this year.
Beloved for their pretty knits and classic wardrobe must-haves, Sezane is also known for their laid-back, cool-French-girl take on bohemian style.
If you prefer Free People’s simpler pieces to their boldly printed, ruffled items, you’ll adore Sezane’s reserved version of boho chic.
7. Petal & Pup
Petal & Pup is an Australian fast fashion brand that carries a wide variety of styles, including bohemian pieces.
Whether you’re in search of effortlessly chic or romantically inspired outfits, you’ll find the perfect choice for any occasion here, usually at a low price.
Note that because they’re fast fashion, if you see something you like on Petal & Pup’s site, get it ASAP — they don’t often restock their styles!
8. For Love And Lemons
A few weeks back, we talked about For Love and Lemons and shared some alternatives to their store. Free People was one of those alternatives, so now For Love and Lemons appears on their list.
In case you missed our article, For Love and Lemons’ aesthetic is girly, romantic, and vintage-inspired. Think lots of pinks and whites, flowy dresses, lingerie-inspired details, and lace galore.
Though their prices are not cheap, For Love and Lemons is a great place to invest in statement items you’ll wear for years to come.
9. Reformation
Reformation, a brand synonymous with sustainability and style, complements Free People’s core values and aesthetic.
If you love floral prints, satins, and dresses of all styles, this is the place to shop! Their dresses, in particular, are universally beloved and highly coveted.
This is another example of a “you get what you pay for” brand — Reformation doesn’t come cheap, but their pieces are well worth it.
10. ASTR The Label
ASTR the Label, founded in 2012 by designer Lauren Webber, is all about dreamy, ultra-feminine pieces that nail the laid-back yet totally put-together vibe.
We’re talking flowy dresses, dressy jumpsuits, and blouses that make your everyday denim look like it just stepped off a runway.
In addition, prices are reasonable for this brand, which is sold through its own website and at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack.
You don’t have to spend a lot to try ASTR’s pretty pieces!
11. Sundress
Sundress is renowned for its collection of — you guessed it — breezy, bohemian dresses.
The female-owned brand hails from the South of France, and every piece is designed on-site and fabricated in India and Italy.
Their gorgeous printed dresses and jumpsuits will have you dreaming of a vacation in St. Tropez — even if you’re just in your hometown.
12. Ba&Sh
Ba&Sh is a Parisian brand that gets its name from its founders, best friends Barbara Boccara & Sharon Krief.
Much like Sezane, Ba&Sh puts a sophisticated French girl twist on bohemian fashion. Their pieces are polished, classic, and wearable for multiple seasons.
One note: This is one of the higher-priced brands on this list, so if you want to shop more in line with Free People’s prices, look elsewhere.
13. Altar’d State
Altar’d State is dedicated to providing cute, everyday-wearable clothing that combines bohemian style with a commitment to social responsibility.
Prices are relatively low, in line with most of Free People’s offerings, making them a great alternative if you want to branch out.
Also, the brand’s Mission Monday project is very cool. If you shop with them on a Monday, “10% of net proceeds in all stores and online go directly to nonprofits across the country.”
14. Farm Rio
Farm Rio‘s designs are vibrant, colorful, and eclectic, so if you love all things bold, this is the store for you!
Originally founded in Brazil over 25 years ago, Farm Rio became known for its bold, colorful prints. They expanded in 2019, and now they have stores in NYC, Miami, and LA.
This is another brand you can feel good about shopping. With every purchase, Farm Rio donates the equivalent of one new tree to be planted.
15. Faithfull The Brand
Looking for a place to shop that’s community-minded? Faithfull The Brand is for you.
This upscale fashion brand was founded in Indonesia, and the owners work with artisans in Bali to craft each stunning piece. They focus on giving back to their community, working with Balinese designers whenever possible, and investing proceeds in small local businesses.
From well-cut printed jumpsuits to bikinis worthy of an exotic beach vacay, Faithfull has it all. Prices are reasonable as well, only a bit higher than Free People.
16. Fortunate One
If you want a bohemian dress for a special occasion, you are going to love Fortunate One.
This “travel-inspired” Australian brand ships worldwide and offers beautiful pieces at reasonable prices (right around $100 for a dress). They also offer frequent sales that make their clothes even more affordable!
Dresses are the brand’s main focus, though they also offer beachy staples like flowy pants and Ocean-inspired earrings.
17. Magnolia Boutique
Magnolia Boutique is an online-only clothing boutique based out of Franklin, IN.
They offer a huge variety of trendy pieces at affordable prices. Almost everything is under $100, with most items around $50.
Magnolia Boutique really shines in its selections for bachelorette parties and events like weddings and spring break. And don’t miss their warehouse sales, where items can be $20 and under!
And fun fact: They actually carry Free People clothing, so you can shop for Free People items there, too.
18. Lulus
If you read CF often, you know that we have been obsessed with Lulus for years.
This store is our go-to place to find outfits for special events. They carry tons of dresses, rompers, skirts, going-out tops, shoes, and accessories. Everything is very high-quality.
Lulu’s even features photos of real people wearing their clothes, so you know how things will look before you buy. (I wish all stores did this!)
While they carry a huge variety of items for various aesthetics, Lulu’s pieces do lean slightly bohemian and romantic, making them a great store for Free People fans.
19. MISA Los Angeles
MISA Los Angeles is a high-end bohemian clothing brand based in Pacific Palisades, CA.
The brand focuses on airy fabrics, unique details, and flowy silhouettes, making them a fantastic place to shop for dresses you’ll have forever.
Everything is handmade in Los Angeles, and quality standards are high, which is reflected in the brand’s price tag. MISA’s pieces are investment-quality, perfect if you’re building a classic boho capsule wardrobe.
20. Boden
Boden is the place to shop for bright, playful, and classic designs that stand out in a crowd.
Known for its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, Boden offers colorful clothing for those who love to mix and match. Think classic wrap dresses in bold prints, high-waisted linen shorts, and tie-neck tops in bright colors.
With their commitment to sustainability, Boden caters to the fashion-forward, environmentally-conscious shopper.
21. Urban Outfitters
I’m sure all of you are familiar with Urban Outfitters by now. With over 200 stores across the US, Canada, and Europe, UO probably has a location near you.
And if you’ve ever noticed that Urban Outfitters is similar to Free People, that’s no coincidence — they are owned by the same parent company.
I like to think of UO as Free People’s trendier, edgier little sister. Shop here for shredded denim, silk mini-dresses, and cool-girl accessories that will turn heads.
22. Cider
Cider is an affordable fashion brand focused on stylish, everyday statement pieces.
Inclusivity is a key brand focus — Cider makes “clothes from XXS to 4XL (US Size 0-26) at an everyday price point available in more than 130 countries.”
The brand is fun to shop because they organize their shop around “moods.” You can shop from sections like “Feeling Cute,” “Feeling Minimalist,” “Feeling Grunge,” or — most appropriate for this post — “Feeling Free.”
23. Tularosa
Tularosa, an LA-based label owned by the parent company of Revolve, makes boho-inspired pieces that have a Free People feel.
Tularosa makes everything from dresses and swimwear to accessories, all with a vintage boho feel. Think lace, crochet, ruffles, bell sleeves, and faded floral prints.
Also, be on the lookout for sales on this brand. Since Tularosa is owned by Revolve, their pieces are often marked down on Revolve.com.
24. Lucky Brand
If you like a Western take on Free People’s bohemian style, Lucky Brand is a great, unexpected place to shop.
While the brand focuses on denim, they also make cute little dresses like the one seen above.
They also carry lots of Free People-esque accessories like cowboy hats, bolo necklaces, and statement earrings, all at very low prices.
25. Bronca
Bronca is a Uruguayan ethical fashion brand that sells beautiful ponchos, hats, belts, and footwear inspired by the Uruguayan countryside.
And their commitment to ethical fashion isn’t just lip service: This is one brand that does serious good.
Fifty percent of their profits are donated to feed underprivileged children around the world, which means you can feel amazing about shopping here.
26. ModCloth
If you love vintage-inspired styles that look like they’re from another time, you need to check out Modcloth.
This store is a mecca for pieces inspired by decades past. Think ’60s-inspired fit and flare dresses, ’70s-inspired plaid flare pants, and grungy lace minidresses straight out of the ’90s.
Modcloth also offers frequent sales and inclusive sizing up to 4XL.
27. Shopbop
Shopbop is a high-end fashion boutique that carries tons of designer pieces, some of which are very similar to Free People’s vibe!
What’s great about Shopbop is the huge variety of designers they carry, from small to large brands. Shopping here is a great way to try new brands you wouldn’t otherwise have heard of and find cool pieces no one else has.
While prices can be very high, Shopbop has an amazing sale section where you can sometimes find fantastic deals.
