Lately, the most sought-out fashion trends are the ones that evoke memories of our childhood (y'all, beaded bags are officially a thang). According to the Spring 2018 collections — Chanel, Loewe, and Michael Kors, just to name a few — tie-dye is currently poised for a major revival (say whaaa?!). The stoner staple is not only all grown-up and more sophisticated than ever, but you'll be able to rock the trippy print beyond festival grounds if you so choose. Swipe through for 15 tie-dye fashion buys, ranging from an after-hours approved slip dress to '90s-esque dip-dyed denim.
