12 tie-dye picks for instant mood boosts, all under $70

12 tie-dye picks for instant mood boosts, all under $70

Whether it’s satin slip dresses, dad sneakers, or chain link necklaces, we’ve all pined over a trend—and been crushed when sky-high prices prevent us from even experimenting with the style. With Stylish Steals, we’ll bring you the latest trends seen on the runway, Instagram, in-store, and on the street—all at affordable prices. Consider us your new, price-savvy personal shopper.

When I think of tie-dye, I’m transported to summer camp as a 10-year-old: I’d wrap rubber bands around a cotton t-shirt, dip the fabric into buckets of dye, and wait. Hours later, I’d carefully cut the rubber bands and eagerly spread open the shirt. To my childish delight, a rainbow of colors would appear in a swirly design, and I’d smile—I’d just made my new favorite shirt.

Now, 12 years later, I no longer make my own tie-dye clothing (although that would be a fun quarantine activity) but I do still wear it. Tie-dye fashion is making appearances everywhere these days: From celebs’ streetwear sweatpants to scrunchies and shoes in countless stores. The retro pattern instantly adds a playful vibe to your look, and there’s no better time than now to channel that free-spirited energy.

Although I typically opted for bold, bright colors when making tie-dye clothes during my summer camp days, today’s tie-dye fashion offers subtler looks. Neutrals, pastels, and so subdued you’ll say, “is that technically tie-dye?” are the patterns everyone’s rocking these days. Think daydreamy, rose-colored glasses vibes of Taylor Swift’s album Lover. Below, we rounded up our favorite tie-dye fashion items for you to shop—from clothing to accessories to shoes.

1. Blank Denim Sweet Spot Sweatshirt
