Eyelet embroidery, a pop of paisley, dramatic florals–what do all of these quintessential summer prints have in common? They’re working overtime to bring a much-welcome bohemian flare to a number of seasonal staples, from billowy blouses and floaty dresses to great denim and statement skirts. One powerful print notably missing from this list, you ask? Tie-dye. Yes, the playful psychedelic pattern is making a major style comeback, thanks to brands like Proenza Schouler, Miu Miu, Rabanne and even Mango and Cos on the high street. More so, it’s an undeniably festive (and easy!) way to add some color to your warm-weather wardrobe. Keep scrolling for eight tie-dye outfits that are the definition of vibrant, eclectic summertime style. No at-home DIY kit required!
Minimalists, if you’re still here, there are plenty of ways to test out the trend without looking like you’re headed to a Dead & Company performance at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Just look to Gabriela Hearst’s strappy slip dress, for example. In subdued colors and an uncomplicated silhouette, it’s an understated yet effortlessly elegant option to consider. In fact, it was the star of Vogue’s recent summer-in-the-city shoot, styled simply with a classic pair of Mary Janes from Le Monde Beryl and Saint Laurent’s chic canvas crossbody bag. Weekend Max Mara’s tie-dye-lined midiskirt is another way to dip your toe into dyes, complete with Farm Rio’s lace-trimmed button-down and a pair of sleek leather sandals from A.Emery.
All that to say, we are talking about colorful, quirky summer style, here. If you find yourself leaning more towards the latter, might we suggest Rabanne’s matching tie-dye skirt set and a pair of jelly sandals from The Row? Or, Miu Miu’s lightweight jersey midiskirt with a long-sleeve crochet top from Zara? Both tie-dye outfits represent summer’s carefree spirit–and in the best way possible. Meanwhile, Alémais’s swirly tie-dye dress is the ultimate resort-ready dress. All you need is a sequined-adorned handbag, some bold jewels and your summer night’s look is sorted. It’s time to bring a twist to your summertime style, starting with these 8 tie-dye outfits.
Gabriela Hearst is one of the many designers synonymous with capturing the bohemian spirit in a luxe way. However, her approach to tie-dye is slightly more minimal than most. This strappy slip dress is the perfect example. Match its muted tones with an ivory Mary Jane from Le Monde Beryl and Saint Laurent’s chic canvas crossbody bag. Meanwhile, Lié Studios’ gold cuff is a piece of arm candy.
