Why The Tie Dye Trend Has Become So Popular In 2020

Tie dye is one of the most ancient forms of decorating cloth but still managing to be super trendy these days. Whether you think tie-dye is totally rad or totally not your style, the psychedelic print from the '60s is back in a major way.
While social distancing, many people develop DIY skills. Pinterest's experience researcher say searches for "tie-dye at home" are up 462% in the past few weeks on the site. Activities that spark joy are more important than ever during these stressful times, and the art of tie-dyeing can help get your creative juices flowing. The tie-dye process is therapeutic and very soothing and it gives the perfect outlet to create unique art while totally zoning out. In some ways it serves to dress up or make otherwise boring clothing — like sweatpants and T-shirts — more exciting and interesting

Tie-dye that is trending today is simpler and more minimal than versions of the pattern we saw in the late '60s and early '70s, which packed more color into one garment than we typically do today. In contrast, modern tie-dye features cotton candy-hued pastel and white color schemes with subtle or geometric patterns. Part of the fun of tie-dyeing is the fact that no two prints look entirely alike. And if you mess up, you can still create something stunning.
Tie-dye is an easy way to bring a little bit of joy and happiness into your life and it is not going away, for sure!
