MUMBAI: The uncalled lockdown has resulted in many changes in our day-to-day life, but fashion aficionados see opportunities in adversities. The latest trend in the world of fashion is tie-dye clothing. Why not? People are trying to fend off boredom and inject a little colour in their hot- weather worthy wardrobe.
Of course, tie-dye is nothing new – the practice has been around from as early as 4000 BC. Most of the topmost brands have used this technique time and again in a variety of outfits. The hippy print is now created not only on surfer’s tees but has also found itself on dainty skirts and flowing dresses- securing its spot in fashion menu. This trend has never ebbed and has found its place in hats, shoes, scrunchies and tots.
The psychedelic treatment is not just given to cotton and linens and can be styled in manifold ways, to make the styling look elevated. For instance, satin tie-dye shirts and dresses when wore with barely-there sandals make for a perfect summer ensemble. For a socially distanced outing, now that the rules are relaxed, you can wear a straight silhouette dress with chunky trainers and soft beads like these actresses.
