I might have been incredulous when I spotted the tie-dyed Betseyville Cat-ch Me Hobo recently, but according to fashion forecasters it’s right on trend.
This season we’ll embrace our inner hippie chick with tie-dyed tops and knitwear acting as features, and tie-dyed accessories adding a boho touch to neutral ensembles. Understated is the order of the day though. Opt for complementary colors rather than a rainbow print to rock this lock.
“Use tie-dye accessories or shoes to add a splash of interest to winter neutrals,” advised Icelandic designer and tie-dye fan Karen Millen.
I must admit, this boho-chic fashion prediction has taken me a bit by surprise. After all, hobos are becoming more structured and tassels are becoming sparser. Perhaps a tie-dyed print is the new way to express your free-spirited side?
Only time will tell whether tie-dyed fashions do become the next big thing, or whether it’s simply wishful thinking on the part of tie-dyed supporters like Karen Millen and Betsey Johnson.
