Bohemian, or ‘Boho,’ style is more than just a fashion trend – it’s an ideology and a culture in its own right, one that has a long, complex history that began in the 18th century. Initially, it was a style reserved only for those at the lowest end of the social scale, who were usually living in poverty, then it was adopted by creatives of all kinds as a way of distancing themselves from the constraints of materialism and social norms, and aligning themselves with ideals such as liberation and environmentalism.
