The votes are in and it\u2019s official: The tie-dye trend is back just in time to make the perfect quarantine craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up until last year, tie-dye was dead. That was until the public saw celebrities like Beyonc\u00e9 and Justin Beiber wearing it, and things began to change. Influencers, celebrities and runways all around the world are now repping this hippie style, leaving the world with only one conclusion: Tie-dye is back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tie-dye historically hit its prime in the \u201960s and \u201970s with its hippie origins. Today, with tie-dyed fashions proudly featured on Prada’s runway, it has taken on a more modern look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Kally Byrd said she has loved tie-dye since she was a little girl, but she noticed people hopping back on the trend around two months ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor me, tie-dye has always been in style, and I have worn it proudly for years,\u201d Byrd said. \u201cI have done some tie-dyeing at home, and I plan on doing some more during my time in quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only is it the perfect time to bring out that middle school field day shirt you tie-dyed years back, but it is also the perfect time to dye something new for a quarantine craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sophomore Eden Taylor has been a fan from the beginning but said she got away from it as she grew older. Recently, she found herself reverse tie-dying a black shirt with bleach and embroidering it with the words \u201cBe happy.\u201d She said this is her best piece yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like doing something artsy that doesn\u2019t require a lot of skill,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cIt\u2019s a good pastime for quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beauty of this trend is the freedom in it. Anything can be tie-dyed, whether it is sweatpants, a shirt, socks or an old sweatshirt; it\u2019s all up to the creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Junior Sydney Tabor, an avid tie-dye lover, said she even tie-dyed some denim during her recent weeks at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy sister repurposed a few of her old sweatshirts, I chose to block bleach my jeans, and even my brother jumped in on the creativity with a T-shirt of his,\u201d Tabor said. \u201cIt has been a fun family activity we can all do together while in quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tabor said she takes a lot of pride in this craft and enjoys the freedom to make it how she wants as well as the ability to express herself through it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI enjoy tie-dye because I love the sense of \u2018do it yourself,\u2019\u201d Tabor said. \u201cNot only can I feel productive by accomplishing something in my day, but I can make it the way I want it to be. I like that it\u2019s my very own creation; it\u2019s something I can wear with pride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who would have thought tie-dye would make a comeback this late in the game? There is no telling what the next quarantine trend will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to do or wear something because it\u2019s not in style or on trend,\u201d Byrd said. \u201cYou never know when it might make a comeback, and even if it doesn\u2019t, wear what you want and express yourself through your clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
