Tie-Dye Blue

It's been around for a while now, but tie-dye is blasting at full force this summer. So I picked this little number (above) a few weeks back from Urban Outfitters and have been wearing it whenever possible. It combines two main trends for summer 2014. One being tie-dye, obviously, and the other being the colour blue. According to Harper's Bazaar, these are two unstoppable crazes, especially when put together.

Tie-dye has moved away from its original 'Hippie' background and is now at the forefront of high street fashion. It's had quite a journey. In the 70's it was seized by the peace adoring, shower ambivalent hippies, but then was reclaimed by 90's grunge.

Now, in the 2010's it's set to be a major player on 2015's resort season. Resort wear (or cruise wear) typically refers to upmarket stores or collections frequented by affluent members of society. Resort stores allow these people to kit themselves out in the latest trends, ready for their winter escape to some island in the tropics, populated solely by the rich and famous. 

But tie-dye is still very present on the British high street. The catwalk hasn't captured it yet!
