Tie-dye is back and bolder than ever. Good thing, since the colorful print holds a special place in our hearts from childhood. We’re pretty sure it was a requirement to tie-dye a T-shirt at least once every summer. And while the vibrant look was appropriate to wear head-to-toe back then, doing that now will most likely make us look like we’re on our way to a Grateful Dead concert. Not that we’ve got anything against that, but there’s got to be a way to rock tie-dye and stay true to your personal style. In fact, there is — and we’ve got …
Tie-dye is back and bolder than ever. Good thing, since the colorful print holds a special place in our hearts from childhood. We’re pretty sure it was a requirement to tie-dye a T-shirt at least once every summer.
And while the vibrant look was appropriate to wear head-to-toe back then, doing that now will most likely make us look like we’re on our way to a Grateful Dead concert.
Not that we’ve got anything against that, but there’s got to be a way to rock tie-dye and stay true to your personal style. In fact, there is — and we’ve got a few tips to make it happen.
Check out the ensembles below for some fresh inspiration on how to take tie-dye from retro to modern.
One of the easiest ways to avoid looking too retro is by staying away from multi-colored tie-dyed items. If you stick to one or two hues, your look is a bit more toned down yet still gives off groovy and chic vibes.
Label Lab t-shirt, $69; Nike SB Dunk sneakers, $140; H&M skinny ankle jeans, $38; Ray-Ban demi-gloss sunglasses, $125; Opening Ceremony “Izzy” backpack, $417.
Thanks to the patchwork design on this blazer, it doesn’t look like your traditional tie-dyed piece of clothing. A pair of eye-catching heels is also an unexpected way to wear the trend.
Whistles “Masie” jumpsuit, $185; Urbanknit “African Indigo” blazer, $70; L.K. Bennett “Leonie” clutch, $285; Elyse Walker “Sable” pumps, $495.
A tie-dyed skirt might not sound too flattering, but get convinced — especially since this one boasts a subtle peachy hue and a curve-hugging silhouette.
Elizabeth and James “Sia” cropped top, $43; Raquel Allegra skirt, $245; DYLANLEX necklace, $480; Lucky Brand “Harper” bag, $158; Loeffler Randall “Echo” sandals, $192.
You can really make a simple solid dress pop with a few tie-dyed accessories. This watercolored clutch and espadrille combination packs a punch but doesn’t overpower your look.
Gorman “Butter Me Up” dress, $155; Katrin Reifeiss “Ngong Moyen” pouch, $54; Yoins bib necklace, $10; Tory Burch “Riviera” espadrilles, $95.
You’re one and done in this flowy top. You can wear it over a pair of stripped shorts, boyfriend jeans or even use it as a swimsuit coverup.
Violeta BY MANGO blouse, $90; MUUBAA “Bethel” shorts, $234; Le Specs “Neo Noir” sunglasses, $54; Whistles “Radan” sandals, $215.
