- The Bohemian style focuses on color, life, and culture as its main aspects, seeking to replicate the romani nomadic lifestyle. The word Bohemian comes from the French word "bohémien",meaning romani. A person living a "bohemian lifestyle" is typically a writer or an artist, living an unconventional lifestyle, often living in a colony with others. The Bohemian clothing style seeks to reflect the unconventional or "bohemian" lifestyle, evolving over the years. Reflecting on the fashion style of "Boho-chic" in the early years of the 21st century, The Sunday Times found it ironic that fashionable girls "wore ruffled floral skirts in the hopes of looking Bohemian, nomadic, spirited and non-bourgeois", whereas "gypsy girls themselves are sexy and delightful precisely because they do not give a hoot for fashion". On the other hand, elements of bohemian dress in the late 19th and early 20th centuries represented the way of life. Today's bohemian fashion includes flowing textiles and attractive female silhouettes. The way it varies, though, is that it draws style cues from the 1960s and 1970s, usually referring to the clothing that concertgoers at the first Woodstock music festival. Examples of Bohemian style are ikat or paisley blouses paired with cutoff jeans for women, or vintage button-down shirts for men. (en)
