Whereas the development may need exploded on the runways a number of seasons in the past (Dior, Proenza Schouler and Versace, to call a number of), it wasn't till we hit the primary lockdown that the development all of the sudden turned the print du jour, with on-line international buying platform Lyst reporting an enormous improve in searches for the print final yr. I feel a part of its attraction is to do with its roots—most lately in '60s hippie tradition—and as such, it is related to a extra laid-back way of life. In a world the place nervousness is, understandably, at an all-time excessive, tie-dye gives the look of being extra chilled out even whenever you in all probability aren't. 

Personally, my motivation for sporting tie-dye is someplace in between the above causes. I just like the surfer vibes of tie-dye, however I additionally very a lot love how numerous designers have made it look high-end, particularly on the subject of the Proenza Schouler second-skin tops. Nevertheless, at over £200, these items are a bit out of my worth vary, which is why once I found a really similar-looking piece from Marks and Spencer, I used to be thrilled. The dark-blue prime is simply the correct shade of navy, and it has a tie-dye sample in horizontal stripes. When tucked into linen trousers, worn beneath clothes or simply paired with denims, it nonetheless appears premium. Under, you will see three outfits I've styled sporting the highest. It is one I do know I will be sporting all summer time and past.
