11 Tie-Dye Outfits You'll Feel Bold In

Oh, tie-dye. While we're personally big fans of the bold print, we get why it's often associated with slightly less fashion-focused moments such as childhood art projects or your dad's psychedelic hippie T-shirt he just won't throw away (never throw it away!). However, because summer is upon us and we're ready and willing to give bright colors a spin in just about every way possible, we decided to turn to street style for some modern inspiration on how to wear tie-dye in 2018.

Below, you'll find a stylish assortment of outfits from ladies such as Susie Bubble, off-duty models, and fashion mainstays such as Giovanna Engelbert and Veronika Heilbrunner. From classic tee and jean pairings to outside-the-box combinations strictly for the sartorial adventurers, there's something for everyone. And if your closet has a tie-dye-shaped hole in it, be sure to shop our picks.
