It’s associated with being laid back to the point of horizontal, but there’s a smarter way to make this look work
I never wake up in the morning and think, “What I really want to wear today is something that will make me look scruffier.” Not once. So, for that reason, I was planning to sit out the tie-dye trend, to be honest. Am I alone in this? Do you often get out of the shower and think: “Ugh, I am absolutely sick to the back teeth of looking so polished all the time, what I need are clothes that will make me look messier.” Do you? Is that a thing? I don’t think so.
And yet here I am. Because tie-dye is everywhere you look this summer, to the point of being unignorable – unless we want to spend the summer blindfolded, which feels like an overreaction. So rather than just pretend tie-dye isn’t happening and then end up making a misguided market-stall purchase on holiday, the grownup thing to do is to face tie-dye head on, which is what I’m doing here.
