Tie-Dye

The Trend

Think nineties meets sixties, in a trend that’s equal parts Hacienda and Woodstock. What began with DIY brands like Cactus Plant Flea Market has now gone mainstream. When Comme des Garçons Hommes, Louis Vuitton and even Craig Green all show head-to-toe tie-dyed looks, you know it’s going to be unavoidable.

The Take: Playful Prints

Even if you can afford LV, full-look tie-dye can still smack a bit of patchouli candles, so it’s better to think in details. If you’re leaning into the nineties, then an oversized tie-dye tee – or even a bucket hat – is a nice way to punctuate a streetwear-heavy wardrobe. If you’re looking for something more grown-up, try a Cuban collar shirt or even a utility jacket. And know that for every rainbow-dyed, Grateful Dead tee, there a monochrome version that feels less like tour merch.
