Last year, tie dye returned to the fashion scene in a major way. It was one of the hottest trends gracing the Spring 2019 runways. Though many trends were predicted for the current season (including 70s inspired items, tropical prints, and all things mint coloured)....my mind is still focused on tie dye. There is so much to love! Not only is it a nostalgic reference of decades past, it is fun. It is colourful. It is bright. It is exciting. Tie dye is whimsical in every sense of the word. There may be more than a few fashion editors out there eager to move on to the next trend or the hottest new design. As for me? I am holding onto an enduring style that adds some much needed light to the spring and summer season. Currently, tie dye is a serious fashion obsession of mine. Which is why I wanted to do an inspiration post of sorts. These are some of the designs that have been keeping me inspired lately.
The tie dye trend is certainly nothing new. It became popular in the fashion world back in the 1960s though the practice of dying clothes this way dates back to Peru in 500 AD. Despite its long origins, this style has largely been tied to the peace and love movement in the 60s and 70s. It continued to come back into vogue every now and then, most notably in the 1990s. These days? It is retro, nostalgic, and a wonderful way to embrace and enjoy colour. There are as many different tie dye techniques and finishes as there are colours in the rainbow! That makes this both an exciting and expressive art form. Lately, I have been really into tie dyed casual wear. Namely sweats and graphic t-shirts. That being said, there are endless examples of tie dyed ensembles being elegant and sophisticated. This dying technique is so playful and dynamic. It truly makes a statement. No wonder it continues to be at the forefront of fashion.
Tie dyed clothing has been seen in countless movies and television shows. It has been written about. Mocked. Loved. There is truly nothing better! Here are a few tie dyed inspired quotes to brighten your day:
- "Colourful shirt. Colourful life."
- "It is do or dye."
- "Be a rainbow in someone else's cloud."
- "Keep calm and wear tie dye."
There is no denying the power of tie dye. It is bold. It is bright. It is an enduring fashion trend that is likely to stick around (or continue returning) for decades to come. This versatile and thrilling dying technique always makes me smile. Lately, it has truly been inspiring my fashion choices. My eyes are drawn to all things tie dyed! With spring fully underway, there is no better time to embrace colour, whimsy, and of course, tie dye.
Are you a fan of tie dyed designs? Do you have tie dyed pieces in your closet?
I really love the whole tie dye trend right now, it's such a fun twist on the typical pastels we usually see! xo
