To dip-dye for: 11 pieces that nail summer’s kaleidoscope trend

Synonymous with free-love and the quintessential acid swirl, tie-dye has been given a makeover thanks to the likes of Ulla Johnson and Altuzarra who featured more grown up dip-dye versions on their spring-summer catwalks. And it turns out it’s just what we need, injecting a blast of colour and pattern after months of subdued, wintry looks.

Dip-dye looks were seen everywhere on the spring-summer ‘23 catwalks from Ferragamo and Etro to Prabal Gurung

Shirt dresses are the natural bedfellow of a dip-dye look, perfectly suited to carrying off an abstract design, but think about how a confluence of colours work on shirts and even accessories, bringing a California cool to your summer wardrobe.
