If Tie-Dying At Home Isn't In The Cards, These Are the Coolest Brands To Purchase The Print From

Throughout the last few months of quarantine, your Instagram feed has presumably been flooded with whipped coffee, banana bread, rainbow eyeshadow, and lots of tie-dye. And while the Dalgona whipped coffee photos might have seemed out of the blue (the trend started on Tik Tok, go figure), the explosion of tie-dye isn't anything new. The trend dominated 2019, and by the looks of it, it's only going to get bigger this year. If your space isn't equipped for a tie-dye DIY, TZR found where to buy the tie-dye pieces you're seeing all over IG.

Many have leaned on tie-dye as a sense of comfort during the pandemic. "A splash of fun colors can provide a good dose of optimism during a heavy time," Sheena Sood, founder of Abacaxi, tells TZR. And of course comfort plays a huge part, too. "Plus, we want to be comfy at home while feeling cute, so tie-dye tees, socks, and sweats become the go-to option." Even if head-to-toe tie-dye is too much for you, a simple accessory with a pop of color is a fun way to freshen up your look. As the tie-dye trend is causing an internet frenzy, keep scrolling to find 11 brands to shop now. Just don't forget to sport a piece or two on your own social media platform.

TZR got the official scoop on what KkCo has in the works. "We are working on a few collaborations at the moment," Jubin notes. "We have new tie-dyed socks launching soon in collaboration with the socks brand Socksss from Sweden.

The label introduced tie-dye into its collection not knowing it would later blow up. "About a year and a half ago while staycationing at a local resort with my husband, I pulled out an old tie-dye t-shirt from my weekend wardrobe arsenal to wear for an evening walk along the beach," Anum Bashir, Creative Director at N-DUO Concept, tells TZR. "The iconically retro print somehow felt so fresh and fun again. I loved the way I looked in it, and made a mental note to discuss with Natuka [Karkashadze, the brand's co-founder] the possibility of having a tie-dye collection someday. I knew it would going to have its moment again, and behold it did!"

Coordinate the dress with a sweatshirt for now, but once it's time to go back out, wear it with chic square-toe heels and summery jewelry.
