It’s time...to really discuss...my love of tie dye. Just kidding, kind of. We’re going to talk about all the ways you can wear tie dye. Another style video by someone who works from home in her pajamas all day. CLASSIC.

I feel like there’s definitely some stigma around wearing tie dye, but lately our artists are changing that. Before, tie dye was seen as some bubblegum princess type wear. Up for debate whether it still is or isn’t. I am not the perfect example. BUT, some of our more punk rock bands are shifting that view. I mean, Beartooth’s Summer line shook me to my core. The tie dye was so cute and eccentric if a person saw me wearing that on the street, they would stop and stare. I should’ve copped. I hope some of you did. 

So, how do you really rock a tie dye shirt? Or any item of tie dye at that matter. WITH CONFIDENCE BABY. 

It’s so easy to wear fun colors, even if you are nervous about drawing attention to yourself. Quarantine became the time of tie dye, we all need to start embracing it. Personally, I love to crop every single shirt I own. I think that’s been stated here. If you’re really not all about taking the plunge into full on colors, a tie dye crop with black leggings is a staple. You really can’t go wrong. It gives off the, “hey I’m fun, but also mysterious,” vibe. Is that just me? Why do black leggings give me mystery vibes? 

If you’re like me, and just love wearing semi-casual outfits that draw major attention, then pair it with a fun color legging. Say your shirt has blues and pinks, pink leggings or blue biker shorts would be my go to. The fun thing about tie dye is everyone thinks it goes with nothing, but it’s the exact opposite. It has so many colors that it goes with everything. I don’t know if I would go too overboard though, it may be a headache.

I feel like guys are wondering if the same rules apply. They obviously do. However, I know you guys love your baggy jeans and your baggy everything. Same. Like the oversized tee and ripped jeans look...you can never go wrong. Why not instead of a plain white tee, make it tie dye? It’s literally so simple and I don’t know why every male I see on my instagram feed is still doing the white. I’M OVER IT AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. As soon as I see some tie dye gym shorts I got you bros. I know those are your favorites.

Anyways, the moral of the story is have fun. Before quarantine, I feel like people could gauge my personality just based on my tie dye tank top. What if I’m emo? You literally have no idea anymore and that’s the most fun part. So, stop with the all black, we are in a heat wave. It’s literally still hot girl/boy Summer, so let’s act like it with some funky colors.

‘Til next timeeeeeee!
