Nothing hits quite like tie-dye. Call us biased (where the Dead Heads at?), but what other practice can be traced from ancient Asia to the stages of Woodstock and every single matching set of 2020's sweatsuits? There’s just no motif that straddles such a wide breadth of kaleidoscopic energy — which is exactly what makes it such a cool way to elevate gift-giving this holiday season. Think about it: a pillow sham, face mask, and hoodie are all pretty boring UNTIL you slap some swirlies on it.
It’s a classic move and one that has been on the ever-rising rebound in recent years. Why? Culturally and politically, we’re at a boiling point with so many parallels to the 1960s and 1970s (aka eras in which tie-dye was the unofficial dissent craft). These days, it’s been the star of high-fashion runways and our quarantine shopping carts (bless you, Amazon goddesses) alike. In 2020, it feels like there’s a tie-dye mood for everyone: for the trendy babes with tiny sunglasses; for the chic shibori minimalists; for the skate-park kids; for the pastel lovers; for the hippies at heart. Whether you’re seeking home goods, accessories, DIY tie-dye kits, scrunchies, athleisure, or a vibey basketball (what, have you still not watched The Last Dance?!), we’ve got you covered with 15 dyed treasures that would make Jerry proud.

Zebra Tie Dye Kurta Hoodie
We couldn't talk tie-dye without bringing up the brand Abacaxi, which is the sartorial child of South Asian-American designer Sheena Sood. Like this Kurta hoodie, the designer's pieces are incredibly versatile and ethically made.

Indigo Dye Kit
From the cool kids at the NY-based tie-dye brand, Upstate, comes the ultimate indigo dye kit. "Each kit comes with a dye mixture we have concocted in our Brooklyn studio," says the site, "a silk hankie, string, and shibori tutorial (in case you want to take it a few steps further). You can dye your hankie in this can or use a stockpot to dye up to 10 yards of fabric or 18 t-shirts."
If there's one thing we did this summer, it was cute socially-distanced picnics. They're likely not going anywhere anytime soon, so why not opt for a groovy set of "unbreakable," insulated, microwave-safe bowls?
Silipint Silipint Silicone Bowl Set, $, available at Amazon
Hand-Dyed Face Mask
When in doubt, gift a face mask. Go for a gender-neutral blue face mask, like this hand-died find on Amazon.

Proof that not all tie-dye is headache-inducing. This lightweight comforter comes in a variety of sizes, and with a relaxing take on the motif.

On Saturday, while grabbing to-go coffees in New York City, Hailey Bieber was spotted wearing none other than fall’s most coveted piece of outerwear: the margarine yellow, fringe coat from Daniel Lee’s fall ‘20 Bottega Veneta collection — a favorite during the season’s Milan shows. The floor-length coat, which features braided, shearling fringe and oversized lapels, has graced the glossy pages of just about every magazine on newsstands since its debut last winter, including Harper’s BAZAAR’sSeptember cover starring Rihanna. But, until Bieber’s morning stroll this weekend, it had yet to be seen in the wild.
For the occasion, the model chose to balance out the luxe outerwear — the coat retails for around $9,450 — with a yellow Coors baseball cap, a matching yellow cropped sweater, Air Force 1s, and a pair of her signature baggy, low-rise jeans. She topped off the look with gold-rimmed sunglasses, chunky hoop earrings, and a black, disposable face mask.
In contrast, for the Rihanna shoot, the coat was styled with a Bottega Veneta long-sleeved, curve-hugging dress with cut-out shoulders and a fringe hem. The image showed the singer-turned-fashion-designer twirling around in the sun, her coat’s fringe floating behind her. Another shot, taken from above, saw Rihanna dragging the nearly $10k coat on the ground while walking on an abandoned highway. (We would never!)
Below, find a selection of other fringe outerwear.

Just when we thought we were Amazon-ed out after last week's Prime-Day marathon, the massive e-tailer pulls us back in. This week's news-worthy cycle on the site includes a surprise collaboration with the dynamic-Jenner-sister duo's clothing label, Kendall + Kylie. This new partnership was brought to us by Amazon's The Drop — aka the site's in-house brand that pumps out limited-edition-collab hype. Since launching last year, the retail behemoth has regularly partnered with an assortment of global influencers to bring you street-style inspired trends at budget-friendly prices. And now, Kendall + Kylie x The Drop marks its first celebrity endeavor.
The 26 piece line-up is filled with of-the-moment designs including everything from tie-dye loungewear sets to cozy cropped cardigans. Keeping to Amazon's DNA, the affordable collection starts at $35 and tops out at $89 — and, unlike the freestanding Kendall + Kylie line, Amazon is including plus-size shoppers in its special release (according to the size guide, available sizes range from 00 to 24). In case you were skeptical about whether or not the items come truly Kendall and Kylie approved, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty has provided Instagram-friendly selfies proudly showing off the wares as proof.
Browse our favorites from the new drop ahead and be sure to shop the full collection of styles on Amazon.

Kim Kardashian West threw it back to the early ‘00s in her recent Instagram posts. Over the weekend, KKW posted a three-image slideshow that showed her posing in Givenchy for creative director Matthew Williams’ debut campaign for the French fashion house. (Kendall and Kylie Jenner, along with Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber, were also models.) In it, Kardashian-West wears a long-sleeved, black dress with a back so low, her red, studded G-string is on full display. Long hair extensions, brown lipstick and eyeshadow, and an oversized bag round out the Y2K fashion aesthetic. To add to the nostalgic feel, Baby Phat founder and ‘00s icon Kimora Lee Simmons commented on the post, saying, “Your thong is showing ladyyyyyyy!!!”

The thong-baring fashion trend, also known as a whale tail, got its start at Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring ‘97 runway show. It made its red carpet splash at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, when Halle Berry wore a pink, red, and white sequin-covered two-piece, her G-string out for all to see. (Britney Spears later let her thong show during a performance of “Oops I Did It… Again” at the award show.) Actress Gillian Anderson wore an almost identical look to Kardashian West’s at the 2001 Oscars after-party. (The look also resembles Hailey Bieber’s Met Gala Alexander Wang dress from 2019.) That same year, Paris Hilton, KKW’s former employer, was spotted with her thong out during a NYFW presentation. And like her then-assistant, Hilton hasn’t let go of the Y2K trends that made her the style icon she is today. In fact, on the same day that Kardashian-West posted her Givenchy campaign images, she also posted not one, not two, but three ‘00s-inspired Instagram posts featuring Hilton.

To introduce SKIMS Velour, a new line of tracksuits, Kardashian West posted a video on Saturday, which offered a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the campaign starring herself and Hilton. The duo, dressed in velour tracksuits — another ’00s fashion staple! — can be seen posing next to a silver Range Rover, talking (probably to each other) on matching Motorola Razr flip phones. The second post included shots from the campaign, one of which shows KKW sprawled on the hood of her car. “Major 2000s vibes,” she captioned the photos. Alongside the last of the three posts, she wrote, “Besties for life!!!” followed by, “U guys have no idea how tracksuits were our uniform and so happy to make a skims version.” The accompanying photo is of the two carrying Louis Vuitton Alma tote bags — Hilton’s in silver and Kardashian West’s in gold — and wearing chunky dad sneakers and oversized sunglasses.
Few things feel as luxurious as swathing oneself in a cashmere sweater during the cold season, so it’s no wonder that this highly coveted fabric often comes at a hefty price point. Cashmere devotees have recently flocked to Everlane for affordable options that would cost double elsewhere, snapping up soft essentials from turtlenecks to cardigans. And now, in a stroke of luck for us all, Everlane is having a 36-hour sale on three of its best-selling cashmere sweater styles, making this the perfect time to stock up.
Here's the deal: For today and tomorrow only, the brand's Cashmere Sweater Tee ($90), Cashmere Crew ($100), and Cashmere V-Neck ($100) will all be priced at $75 — a shockingly low price for such high-quality 'shmere. And for all you Everlane-loving guys out there, don't worry, you haven't been forgotten because select men's sweaters are also on sale for $100.
