When my best friend shot me a text last week saying, "I'm totally tie-dyeing my sweat suit [1]," I was like, "Ha! Are you missing summer camp or something?" But she was sniffing out the next big trend in fashion, as one does, because this is a move TikTok-ers are very into right now [2]. They're not just tie-dyeing matching sets — although, let's be honest, an all-out, head-to-toe style statement [3] is always cooler — but also ribbed socks, t-shirts, and bucket hats. How's that for your daily dose of '90s nostalgia [4]? We wouldn't even be surprised if Hailey Bieber, who seems to be queen of loungewear [5] on the buzzy social platform, showed up in a tie-dye Drew hoodie [6] soon.
POPSUGAR's Executive Style Director Dana Avidan Cohn broke down a step-by-step process for tie-dyeing her Amazon sweatshirt [7] if you learn better by snapshot than by video, but if you want to get inspired with some TikToks set to feel-good, pump-up music, I highly suggest you scroll through. First, scope out your closet to see what's sitting around in your drawers just begging for the treatment, then grab that rubber-band ball. On that note, I know what I'm doing this weekend . . . or, like, in 30 minutes.
