Thankfully for those obsessed with Stevie Nicks-inspired dress codes, modern bohemia is taking the fashion sphere by storm.
A desire for free-spirited style is simmering among the cool-girl crowd, with leather, suede and layers of ghostly lace slowly starting to saturate street style and social media feeds alike.
Brands such as Isabel Marant and Chloé have dominated the runways with their counterculture motifs, with the latter overseeing a stunning 628 per cent rise in searches for their Paddington Bag on eBay.
Amy Bannerman, eBay UK’s Pre-Loved Style Director, says: “This year’s boho got a refined makeover- think less carefree festival, more curated cool. Taking inspiration from icons like Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and the eternal Jane Birkin, it’s elevated enough to work hard whether you’re in the boardroom or festival bound.
And what would bohemian-chic be without a touch of fringing?

Fringing has a rich history, gaining cult status in the 1970s when championed by the hippie movement as a symbol of freedom and rebellion.
Inspired by Native American garments, fringe became a staple of bohemian style, adorning suede jackets, vests, and festival wear. Celebrities like Jimi Hendrix and Jane Birkin helped popularise the look, adding to its mystical allure and rock ‘n’ roll essence.
