A fake bohemian. Someone who dresses in attire typical to the bohemian lifestyle; someone who purposefully assumes the appearance of being nontraditional, artsy, and/or poor, but does so for fashion or personal appearance purposes only.
Wow, that guy in the Porsche with the flannel plaid shirt, horn-rimmed glasses, torn jeans, and beaten-up converse tennis shoes is such a fauxbo.

A combination of the words "faux" and "hobo" - a person of sound financial means, whether by their own employment of outside funds, who chooses to take on the appearance and level of hygiene of a vagrant or otherwise homeless individual.

"This used to be a decent coffee shop before it was overtaken by fauxbos."

Short for faux ho-bo it is the style where it takes 5 hours and 400 dollars worth of clothes and accessories to look like you're poor and just rolled out of bed.
She washed, blow dried and straightened her hair only to throw it up in a messy ponytail, so faux-bo.

A bunch of faux-bos were already in the boxcar, but they didn't know enough to bring sleeping bags.

1 : a migratory worker who frequent most large west coast cities asking for "quarters to make a phone call" or "money for bus fare/hamburger" or "help for sick one eyed dog" or (the honest approach) "my mom grounded me so and i ran away from home, i just need to get high"

2 : a FAKE homeless vagabond who, on a good day of panhandling, will rake in more money than you made working at your suffocating desk job.
fauxbos are usually wearing designer punk clothing worth more than anything in your own raggity wardrobe.

Someone who has the appearance of a hobo, but on closer inspection exhibits something that disproves the theory. i.e., expensive clothes, cleanliness, manicure...
