4 Easy Ways to Wear the Tie-Dye Trend Without Looking Like a Blast From the Past

Kaia walked down the R13 runway back in September wearing a chic tie-dye look. She wore a top and blazer in the bold print but paired her look with distressed denim and edgy black boots.

Since this was the first tie-dye piece of clothing I had worn since hitting puberty, I decided it was best to ease into the trend. I wore a white and black tie-dye Shein top a try first, rather a super trippy color scheme. I styled my top with high-waist Self-Portrait x Lee jeans with black ankle boots. I like that the shirt's twist-front silhouette shows off just a touch of skin.

Justin walked down the streets of London wearing a hypey RHUDE tie-dye sweater. The pastel hues helped offset the bold pattern and he finished his look off with baggy shorts and white sneakers.

Okay, day two and I think I'm finally getting the hang of this. I was way more open to trying out more vibrant tie-dye color schemes. I slipped into a purple and blue cropped Shein hoodie and styled it with white Cotton Citizen jeans to make the color pop even more. Unlike JB, I decided to keep my hair on the tamer side and tucked mine into the sweatshirt (a trick employed by countless street style stars).

Beyoncé let her colorful wrap minidress by MSGM take center stage by keeping the rest of her accessories low-key.

Inspired by my fashion queen for life, Beyoncé, I opted for an easy one-and-done outfit: a wrap set by Shein. Sure, I'm not in Lake Como walking on a luxurious boat, but you better believe I felt like a million bucks in this colorful set which by, the way, only costs $18. Like Bey, I let my colorful outfit be the center of attention and styled it with a simple pair of white mules.

Another outfit idea? If you're not quite ready to dive in head first and wear the print head to toe, start with just one piece from the set. I tied my wrap top in the front to give it a different feel.

At this point, I've embraced the tie-dye life. There may be no tie-dye print too bold or colorful for me and I'm feeling all the '70s vibes. In fact, I ended up re-wearing the cropped sweatshirt to drinks with friends over the weekend. To make my look feel more modern, I finished my look off with a pair of dark, high-waist jeans that flared out at the bottom.
