A fashion trend that is part bohemian and part chic. It is tied to the vintage phenomenom in fashion where the trend was to bring back vintage styles for the modern era. Boho chic combines organic, colorful, detailed, folk-inspired pieces with simple, modern pieces. An example would be wearing a beaded peasant dress with a white tanktop.
The trend is said to have been started by actress Sienna Miller in 2005. She wore bohemian-style clothing in the movie Alfie and continued to sport the garb regularly in London. People began to imitate this style, and fashion designers took notice.

The term given to a very cheap looking fashion trend usually utilising very hot women to model what are in effect shit clothes.
"What are we going to do with all these trashy looking knitted doilies laying around the house?"
"I've got an idea. I have a cousin who used to model for Playboy. If we can somehow fashion them into something which looks vaguely wearable then maybe we can con the gullible and those with too much time and money on their hands to part with stacks of cash and start a fashion trend or something."
"Seriously, who is going to fall for it?"
"You'll be very surprised. The Pinterest crowd will love it that's for sure."
"Is she hot, your cousin?"
"Very."
"It could work I suppose. Okay, let's do it."
"What are we going to call this new fashion though?"
"Oh look, there's a tramp gnawing on a hambone."
"How about Hobo Chic?"
"That sounds good. Boho Chic it is then."
