Is tie-dye fashionable again?

[mrsfran]

I have seen several young people wearing tie-dye clothes recently. Is it having a re-surgence?

 

[Geri]

I sincerely hope not.

 

[gentlegreen]

It'd make a change from hipster.

dip dye is. not noticed tie-dye but it's not really my fashion neighbourhood.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

My daughters wear a lot of it and they get it all from H&M. So it's certainly mainstream, if not exactly fashionable.

 

[killer b]

not really. Its been creeping out a bit in recent seasons, but not really catching on. Thank fuck.

 

[TruXta]

Batik next then.

 

[editor]

Saw loads of da festi yoot strutting around Boomtown with tie-dye.

 

[mrsfran]

Oh if they sell it in H & M then yes, it must be. Part of the nineties revival then I guess? I've always had a soft spot for it, although I think I'm a bit past the target market now.

Trendy young niece has been tie-dying cheap T shirts and selling them to her mates. This is in the not at all cool burbs of Orpington so it must be a main stream thing for the teens.

 

[such and such]

I don't like it so it probably is.

Nineties revival? That decade of tie-dye joy must have passed me by. I remember it in the 70s.

And now it's back.

Dunno, if they are I reckon those heat sensitive it's Will be back soon as well.

 

[Plumdaff]

Yeah it is. A thin friend took me into Urban Outfitters the other week and all the mannequins had identical stuff to what we bought from charity shops and markets in the nineties, but priced at forty quid a shot.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

I sincerely hope not.

Don't worry. It is only Australians

There was a time in the early 90's when it was quite popular.
I was sorting out my drawers the other week and came across an old top a friend made me - all tie-died with a cnd symbol painted on it. My 4 yo daughter saw it and asked "is that what you wore when you were a lady" (I suppose it has faded to be a bit pink these days) I kept it, but it's extremely unlikely I'll wear it again

I have worn tie dye on and off most of my adult life. Occasionally I'm in fashion it would seem, and all my stuff is 'vintage'

 

[kittyP]

Global Hypercolour.

Oh god. They just made you look sweaty.
They did socks versions too

Mine didn't, it lasted ages coz I rarely warm up enough to change the colour!

I never had one but I just remember seeing loads of people with t-shirts that had different coloured armpits
I remember them being popular in France when we went on holiday there as a kid before they came here.

 

[Thora]

I've noticed a fashion for teen boys to wear floral onesies/pyjamas round my way recently

 

[Ms T]

When we were in Thailand years ago, me and a friend had a pact to never, ever wear tie-dye. We did get seduced by those Thai fisherman's trousers though.

 

[stuff_it]

Global Hypercolour.

*shudder*

 

[DotCommunist]

no

 

[seeformiles]

Damn I hope so! It means Mrs SFM might tell me where she's hidden this:

(an ill-advised purchase from my youth - unsurprisingly made while off my tits on acid)
