In modern use, the term "Bohemian" is applied to people who live unconventional, usually artistic, lives.

The adherents of the "Bloomsbury Group", which formed around the Stephen sisters, Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf in the early 20th century, are among the best-known examples.

The original "Bohemians" were travelers or refugees from central Europe (hence, the French bohémien, for "gypsy").

Reflecting on the fashion style of "boho-chic" in the early years of the 21st century, the Sunday Times thought it ironic that "fashionable girls wore ruffly floral skirts in the hope 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".

By contrast, in the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th, aspects of Bohemian fashion reflected the lifestyle itself.
