10 Spring Tie-Dye Styles That Are Easy on the Eyes
It’s not all psychedelic rainbows.
The tie-dye effect is in full-force this season, as the ’80s influence continued to find its way into collections high and low for Spring/Summer 2019. Since the psychedelic trend began seeping into runways over a year ago, vibrant and flashy tie-dye pieces have inundated the market across every category from T-shirts to bags. As expected, the most literal, rainbow-colored styles have saturated the market, but some designers have eschewed tradition in lieu of more muted and digestible options.
Take for example Palm Angels, whose cotton short set features a tie-dye pattern bold enough to make a statement, while a monochromatic palette still fits the brand’s refined streetwear aesthetic. On the other end of the spectrum, labels like The Elder Statesman are experimenting with bold colors softened by pastel shades.
Others like LOEWE, Stella McCartney and John Elliott have taken the streamlined approach, relying on a classic grey or simple black base to anchor the trend. Colorblocking and gradient treatments give their designs an elevated look.
Browse through our picks for fresh takes on tie-dye below, from brands such as 99%IS-, Daily Paper, Balenciaga and more.
