The Tie-Dye T-Shirt

I love pairing something really sophisticated like a dress pant with something unexpected, say, a tie dye t-shirt! Preferably with that “I’m sooooo casual” sleeve roll.
I used to work with this ultra cool woman when I first started out in NYC, who had the perfect sort of uniform (I know I keep talking about this), that consisted of a t-shirt rolled at the sleeves, sleek tuxedo type pants creased down the front, and stilettos. I know, stilettos are ambitious but I always thought it was such a good mix of casual and dressy. Her look truly was day-to-night. Cut to me scrambling to borrow someones lipstick and a weird sample if I wanted to go out after work (I worked in a fashion design studio at the time). The struggle is real!
I think the tie dye t-shirt is the perfect ying to your fancy yang, if ya know what I mean.

I don’t really like tie-dye, it seems so old-fashioned… But it looks great here! :)

Joli T-shirt aux douces couleurs mais le mur en background m’intrigue ou bien est-ce un gigantesque tableau ?
Erik, tres belle photo, comme d’habitude. ( J’adore les ombres qui se fondent avec les couleurs tie and dye du T-shirt.)

Je n’ai pas encore de t-shirt tie & die mais c’est vrai que c’est très joli alors pourquoi pas ! :)
Wow such a gorgeous look, and I like the unexpected twist. The story of your work colleague was interesting too! :-) xx

Stunning style, so beautiful dess.
Ces exemples de tie-dye qui s’éloignent des éternelles spirales me rappellent ceux de la marque américaine Akomplice qui avait sorti une collection en 2014 appelée Mancha et visible ici
Amazing dress! Simple but so chic!

Very cool.
Nice choice of colors. I especially like the tone-down neon/pastels from J.Crew.
However, this is something easily done at home (the sky’s the limit in terms of creativity and patterns), and WAY cheaper than buying them from Proenza Schouler for instance! I mean, $290 for a tie-dye, seriously?!
