TIE DYE SS16

Tie Dye print may be a slightly 'marmite' trend but I for one love it and was very happy when I came across an old dress in my wardrobe this week that has come right back in to fashion again (yes this means I'm getting old). I've had a little look at the runways from SS16 shows as well as street style trends, and trawled the high street so that you too can be a part of it., so take a look and let me know what you think.

I love all of these Streetstyles and particularly love the clashing of oranges and blues. This colour combination shouts summer to me and could be worn for events as well as dressed down for every day wear. Take a look below at my high street picks to get these looks for yourself. 


(from left to right-top to bottom)
1. Tie-Dye Knot Tee  Topshop  £16.00
2. Tie-dye Dress  Zara  £89.99
3. Halterneck Dress  H&M  £29.99
4. Strappy Tie Dye Swing Dress  Missguided  £20.00

The Zara dress here is a great example of how to wear tie dye for an occasion and would be great for summer weddings with some metallic heels and a clutch bag. The swing dress from Missguided is a perfect price to treat yourself while the sun is shining. I would style this one with trainers and a denim jacket to keep it casual. If it's an easy tee your after to wear with your jeans and slides then this one from Topshop is worth a look. I love the added knot detail on it to pull you in at the waist and give you some shape. 


1. Holiday Wave Tie Dye Shirt  French Connection  £65.00
2. Tie-Dye T-Shirt  Zara  £17.99
3. Tie-Dye Y-Back Cami  Forever 21  £7.99
4. Printed Cotton Scarf  Mango  £11.99
5. Tie Dye Triangle Bikini Top / Brief  Pull & Bear @ ASOS  £15.99 / £12.99

If the Topshop tee doesn't take your fancy then how about one of these. The Zara tee has a really pretty print on it and would look gorgeous styled with khaki and tan accessories. If you want something a little smarter then try this shirt from French Connection, I would love to see this one with all white for a holiday vibe. Carrying on with that dream, everyone apart from me is holiday shopping right now and on the top of everyones list is a bikini. This one available from ASOS is a really great little triangle bikini that would look great with some denim shorts for your walk to the beach. 


1. Maxi Dress in Lyocell Blend  H&M  £59.99
2. Tie Dye Beach Bag with Leather Strap  Pull & Bear @ ASOS  £20.50
3. Textured Skirt  H&M  £29.99
4. Tie Dye Authentic Plimsoll Trainers  Vans @ ASOS  £52.00
5. NADINE Tie-Dye Twist Front Sandals  Topshop  £50.00

On your way to the beach you might need a stylish beach bag for all your bits and pieces and this one is a perfect co-ord to the bikini (above) and a great price as well at only £20.50, you'll definitely thank yourself for that buy. The skirt from H&M is really beautiful, especially as my favourite colour still is yellow, it cheers everyone up and will without doubt have all eyes on you. I would style this with a simple white cami top and pick out the blue for your accesories. If you're not too confident about your body a skirt like this is perfect as it will pull you in at your smallest point and all the attention is on the print of the skirt. By adding heels you will also look taller and slimmer - something none of us would turn down. The shoes here from Topshop have 'that' twist detailing on them that is everywhere right now and I for one love. I would style these with double denim or to dress them up I would go with a little black dress, smart black clutch and gold jewellery. If it's casual shoes your after then these Vans are comfortable and ticking all the fashion boxes, what more could you want?


1. Tie Dye Hem Skirt  French Connection  £65.00
2. Tie Dye Blouse  Mango  £49.99
3. Tie-Dye Pleat Trousers  Topshop  £34.00
4. Wide Trousers  H&M  £14.99
5. Pleated Chiffon Skirt  H&M  £39.99

The skirt here from H&M has a co-ord top available on the website, it has vertical stripes and the same multi-coloured design, and I think paired together it would look far more expensive that it is and has a strong Chloe vibe about it. For a bargain buy of this trend try the wide leg trousers also from H&M, if you want more inspo on the wide leg trouser check out a blog post I did a while back. Pleats are big right now and these Topshop trousers would also be super comfortable, perfect for days running around after a toddler. But also just as perfect styled just like the streetstyle trend seen above with a white tee, biker jacket and barely there heels for weekday drinks without the children. If you want to go all out on the trend then the blouse here could be styled with the denim skirt, I would love to see them worn with chunky silver sandals and a backpack. Or you could wear them on there own and go for double denim with the skirt. 


1. Tie Dye Asymmetric Top  Zara  £25.99
2. Tie Dye Skinny Jeans  Vero Moda @ ASOS  £34.00
3. Printed Trousers  Zara  £29.99
4. Short Printed Dress  Zara  £39.99

Zara is the best place to go in my opinion for this trend right now. They have smarter pieces as well as easy wear trousers like these ones here. The dress here is a perfect example of something that could be worn with heels or trainers as well as worn on holiday with tan sandals, a fresh tan and natural make up. If it's a new pair of jeans you're after then these skinny jeans from Vero Moda are something a little different but the basic design means they are versatile for all seasons, and you would most definitely get your moneys worth. 

Hopefully if you weren't a lover of the trend before then you are now. It's honestly such an easy wear and can be dressed up or down for so many different occasions. Hope your all enjoying the sunshine,  let me know what you think and check out my instagram to see me rocking the trend.
