Bobby’s Fashion Fix: Tie-Dye (Easy Pieces For Under $100)

While tie-dye is (and always will be) a DIY activity we fully endorse, it’s also become more popular than ever in the world of fashion. From runways to real-life, this technique has gotten a stylish makeover and is definitely having a moment. 

Although tie-dye techniques (like batik and shibori) have been around for centuries, tie-dye as we know it grew out of the hippie movement of the 60s and 70s, and then became a staple of summer camp activities. But let us tell you – tie-dye is all grown up – and being fully embraced by fashion brands. From casual loungewear pieces to activewear, shirts, skirts, shoes, and accessories, this fabric treatment is everywhere. So to get you in on the action, we’re bringing you all our favorite shop-able tie-dye styles for men and women (all under $100).

Keep scrolling to see all our picks for stylish tie-dye pieces. And if you want to try it for yourself, you can also learn all the basics of tie-dye in this post.

WOMEN:

It’s easy to make a style statement in tie-dye, whether you want to go bold or subtle. An indigo blue romper or breezy yellow skirt will both make you stand out – in the best way. A t-shirt in shades of pink, multi-color leggings or cut off denim shorts are more subtle tie-dye options that are easy to incorporate into your existing wardrobe. For an easy pulled together look, try a simple sleeveless dress and cute slip-on sneakers. And for a day by the pool, opt a bright blue bikini, olive bandana, and tote bag.

MEN:

1. Lived-In Short Sleeve Poplin Shirt | 2. Tie-Dye Swim Shorts | 3. Tie-Dye Regular Fit Short Sleeve T-Shirt | 4. Black Tie-Dye Classic Sweatpant | 5. Russell Athletic Oscar Tie-Dye Hoodie Sweatshirt | 6. Tie-Dye Stripe Crew Sock | 7. Short-Sleeve Camp Collar Button-Up Shirt | 8. Printed Flip-Flops | 9. Oreo Long Sleeve Tie Dye Shirt

It’s easy to keep things comfy and casual in tie-dye (while still looking pulled together). Throw on a light pink t-shirt or bright orange hoodie to make a stylish statement. A blue pair of swim trunks and flip flops make for an easy poolside look. For something more muted, go for a pair of understated sweatpants, a subtle pair of tie-dye socks or a spiral dye long sleeve tee in black & white. To dress things up a bit, go for in a camp collar shirt in shades of green or a punchy burnt orange button up.
