HOW TO WEAR TIE DYE (& LOOK YOUR AGE)

It’s no secret that one of the biggest trends this spring and summer is tie dye! One of the most common questions I get on my Instagram is how to wear tie dye and look age appropriate at the same time. This is a great question and I think one of the most common misconceptions when it comes to wearing something that is full of color and often associated with young(er) people. Today, I am sharing a few ways to wear and style your tie dye pieces that will make you feel on trend but most importantly, your age! I also rounded up my favorite tie dye pieces that are extremely affordable and can take you from the pool to date night to lounging on your couch. Now grab a glass of wine and let’s have a chat…

TIP WHEN SHOPPING FOR TIE DYE:

When shopping for tie dye, I ask myself one question when it comes to this trend. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all of the bright colors and crazy combinations but just ask yourself:

  1. Does this piece stick to one color palette/tone?

    Try and stick to just one color palette or tone to keep the print mature and sophisticated. Think of keeping your cool tones together (violet- blues, blue- greens, yellow- greens) and your warm tones together (yellow-oranges, red-oranges, red-violets). Easy way to keep it neutral yet still add color and look age appropriate!


HOW TO WEAR/STYLE YOUR TIE DYE:

T-SHIRTS/TANKS/SWEATER TOPS/DRESSES

  • Denim shorts or jeans! Keeps it very casual and crisp

  • Layer under solid color jacket (denim, athletic, oversized casual blazer)

  • Solid colored sneakers. My go to is my white sneaks! I’ll link them HERE.

  • Neutral sandals (brown, black, or white) usually are my summer favorites!

    KIMONOS/JACKETS

  • Love wearing my kimonos as a swimsuit cover up!

  • Layer over bodysuits (I like to keep it neutral with white, tan, black, gray)
