Fallin for Tie Dye

Whether you think tie-dye is totally rad or totally not your style, the psychedelic print from the ’60s is back in a major way. It become a hot quarantine trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Tie dying is a fun project for all ages and can easily be done at home. There are various processes that can be used to tie dye such as using bleach, ice and the typical bright colors. I’m sure You Tube has a multitude of “how to” videos if you’re feeling creative! Let your creative juices flow! Or you can simply go shopping! I’m sure you can guess which one I prefer!

It’s no secret! You know that I have been and probably always will be a big fan of the tie dye trend so I’m elated that it’s been going strong. You might recall that I’ve done several other blog posts on tie dye. The most recent was Feature a Friend post on Jackie of Dyteology. To see that post, click HERE.

Tie Dye Lounge Wear

Since we’ve all be social distancing and spending more time at home, lounge wear has become even more of a trend and why not go for some tie dye lounge wear? I actually purchased mine while we were sheltering in place! This set is buttery soft and can easily be split up and worn with other pieces. Any solid colored bottoms or solid colored tops will easily be a match…you can’t go wrong with all the color choices!

It’s super easy to pair the top with jeans and why not some tie dye jeans?! I had been eyeing these jeans for some time. (There was also a denim jacket with the same coloring! Sadly, my size was sold out.) Since Stein Mart is going out of business (insert tears!), I am scooping up all the things I’ve liked as they go on sale! I know I will get a lot of use out of these jeans!

Tie Dye Jeans

The subtle tie dye look of these jeans, the cut and style all appealed to me. These jeans are by JLo (Kohls). The cut of her jeans always fit me well because of my curvy figure! (I was going to pass up getting these jeans until they went on sale and I had coupons! That’s usually how I roll!) I think the tie dye jeans pair well with a graphic tee. The colors in this David Bowe tee matched great with the pale blue of the jeans. To pull out the pink color, I added my pink denim jacket and pink lace up sandals for a relaxed casual look.

Tie Dye Dresses

This tie dye t-shirt dress was $15. at Target! I couldn’t pass it up! It was one of those Target trips where you run in for one thing and end up leaving with a cart full! Does that ever happen to you? It’s super comfortable and looks put together. I’ve paired it with a white denim jacket but it can easily be worn with blue denim. It could even be worn over jeans or leggings in the fall. This dress would be a great swimsuit coverup. Gosh, the options could be endless! How would you wear it? This little dress is so comfy I feel like I’m walking on clouds!

Recently, I’ve really upped my dress game! Lots of social media influencers influenced my decision to get a tie dye maxi! Maxis are great to style so many ways and for all of the seasons. I paired this one with my Half Tee (To see a previous blog post on Half Tee Layering Solutions, click HERE.). That way I could wear the dress to work and be fully covered on top. As the fall weather seems to be upon us, a long sleeve tee could be worn underneath and layer on a denim jacket. It will be cute with a pair of booties. This particular maxi has pockets! It’s super soft…felt like I was wearing a nightgown to work! You can see I did a front knot at the bottom (trending). This maxi can be worn casually similar to the short tie dye dress. It would be a great beach cover up or a fun date night out look.

Tie Dye T-Shirts

T-shirts are probably the most common tie dye item that comes to mind when thinking about tie dye apparel. This might be a good place to start if you’re not quit sure about wearing the trend. Here are my two most recent tie dye t-shirts. I like to shop unique boutiques while traveling and on vacation. I couldn’t pass up this “Woodstock” Peace and Love t-shirt, which I got in Traverse City at a wonderful store called Sincerely Betty. This t-shirt screams 60’s vibes!

Flare jeans are not a style that I’ve embraced until recently. I now have two pairs. This particular pair screamed 60’s and I think the flare inserts with all the colors and design are so groovy! LOL

Rolling Stone’s image is a well known image and can be found with varying designs on the tongue. I loved the light colors and tie dye version worn here. I think this tee will pair great with my blue tie dye jeans or any blue jeans. T-shirts are such an easy and comfortable option for any outfit and graphic tees continue to trend strong. In the cooler months, they can be worn with moto jackets, cardigans, blazers…the styling options are endless!

Tie Dye Jacket

When my friend Jackie of Dyetology, mentioned that she was going to be making some one of a kind tie dye jackets with embellishments I knew I had to have one of her beautiful and unique pieces. The details are amazing especially for this detail loving gal! I could hardly wait to begin wearing it and styling it. The shoulders are covered in rhinestones. The wrists are wrapped in sparkling bugle beads. One pocket has a metallic silver embellishment and one side has a floral applique! All kinds of fabulousness!!! First, I wore the jacket with a black tee with silver trim v-neck, black jeans and snake skin print belt and booties.

To show another way to style the jacket, I simply switched out my jeans for my metallic midi skirt! I’d also wear the jacket with my tulle skirt! All kinds of fun styling options. All of Jackie’s pieces are beautiful, unique and super high quality! To me, her pieces are investments that I’ll wear for many years to come!

Fallin for Tie Dye Styling of My Fellow Lifestyle and Fashion Blogging Friends from Around the World

Andy: “I am loving the tie-dye trend for fall! My orange and blue tie-dye top is actually a dress – I’ve knotted it and styled it with jeans just for fun. Check out my blog post to see how I styled it as a dress, along with more cute tie-dye pieces, and how I’ve styled them for the fall season. I love to play with my clothes, especially when it’s something as versatile as this!”

Emma – “I bought this skirt years ago, and while I love it, I find it difficult to style so have only worn it a few times. This theme gave me the impetus to dig it out and give it another chance. I’ve paired it with a sweater with a cute pearl-embellished collar that I bought in a charity shop.”

Ada – “Not all tie-dye is made the same. Those bright super neon tie dyes are not for me. But give me a cozy, light as air white tee dipped in baby blue and baby pink and we are talking!! It looks like a gorgeous skyline. Fall temperatures have definitely arrived in Michigan so I wore mine with a Faux Leather Black Moto Jacket. Perfect yin+yang between the softness of the girly tee and the rocker edginess of the jacket. Both pieces are by Hollister and they are current!”

Shelbee – “I found this tie dye kimono at Torrid a few years ago and I definitely do not give it enough air time. I love the tie dye pattern on it and the fun fringe details and it is the perfect layering piece for this time of year. I have worn it with jeans and shorts as well, but I think I prefer it with a cute little black dress and sandals.”

Nancy – “I had to search real deep for something tie dye and I found this Primark summer dress that I don’t even own anymore. I guess tie dye is the same as kimonos over here in the Netherlands. Just not that popular. Don’t know why not if you see all my lovely Stylish Monday friends in their beautiful items!”

Nicole – “Traditionally, tie-dye is  associated with the heat of summer and outdoor festivals. However, tie-dyed scarves can also look great in fall and winter as my look demonstrates.”
