Tie-Dye Loungewear Is The Swirly, Sherbety, Cozy Trend We Didn’t Ask For But Are Happy To Wear

With its vibrant colors and spiraling silliness of a pattern, tie-dye was created to inject a bit of joy into our closets. Its brightness doesn't just boost your mood, it incites a sweet nostalgia for the hazy days of the Summer of Love '60s or, more likely, just summer camp arts and crafts. So when the jovial tie-dye motif emerged as a major trend last year, we and the rest of the fashion world were pretty happy about it! And just as the trend was about to take a slumber until its next resurgence, many of us ended up stuck at home seeking DIY projects and a cozy wardrobe: tie-dye, stick around.

Restricted to spending most of our time indoors, we've grown to appreciate the cool uniform of a matching sweatsuit or the effortless luxury of a silky robe. Add some color swirls to the mix and we've got ourselves the perfect blend of comfort and cheer to help us through the remainder of lockdown life. From tie-dye sweatshirts and sweatpants to shirt-dresses of similar swirly shades, there's plenty to choose from that'll do wonders to your couch attire. For the days without Zoom meetings requiring a slightly more polished look on top: embrace the simple sartorial joy of tie-dye.
