There are a few things that I thought we would never see a return of and tie dye was one of them! However it’s back and in a big way! Beyonce kicked off the trend again last year when she wore a tie dye mini dress during her vacation in Italy with Jay-Z and this year we’ve seen it on a number of celebrities including Gigi Hadid during Coachella.

It was all over the Spring runway, with everyone from Stella McCartney, Prada and R13 inspired by the reinvented print. It’s been given a little make over since it’s inception in the 60s and then its first revival in the 90s.

We’ve got R12 using it on blazers, as seen on Kai Gerber on the runway, Ralph Lauren using it on sweaters whilst Prada and Proenza Schouler gave it a feminine makeover. Prada used it on A-line skirts and delicate bags whilst Proenza Schouler used it on denim, oversized shirts and high neck fitted dresses. Influencers took to the street with their own take on it, with Arielle Charnas loving the trend on everything from sweaters, blazers to oversized shirts.

The look is best when paired with neutrals. Think a tie dye blazer with light wash fitted denim, or for a casual weekend look, pair a sweater with cropped denim and slides for a fun brunch look!
